[edit] What is it

A method for saving SRAM to your SD/CF when using homebrew which does not directly access the filesystem. This applies to both GBA and DS, though not much DS homebrew uses SRAM these days.

[edit] Setup

Create an empty 64KByte file with the same name as your game/app, but with .sav extension. For example, Nibbles.nds -> Nibbles.sav, or GBATactics.gba -> GBATactics.sav

[edit] How to save

  1. Use your game/app as normal, then save it using normal saving method (like choosing 'Save' from the menu, or beating the level, if it auto-saves)
  2. Quickly turn the DS off and on again
  3. Press 'Right' once to select the 'Saver' tab
  4. Find the .sav file which corresponds to the homebrew you just used, and select it
  5. Pick OK when it asks 'Save to CF/SD?'

[edit] How to load

If the file is named correctly, it should automatically load the SRAM file.
