if by savegamers you mean savestates, it will not work.

also, desmume 0.9.10 broke compatibility with ingame saves. ingame saves from drastic are somehow compatible with desmume until 0.9.9 so try that.

in game saves are stored in sdcard/drastic/backup provided you made an ingame save and not a savestate.

desmume has a footer at the end of the save file that includes some information about the save type. They added this at some point years ago in order to remember the save type settings that were auto-detected. The whole reason they made it a footer instead of a header was to make it easier to support files that predated the change. But at some point in the last several months a change was made that appears to throw out saves w/o the the footer (although my reading of the code could be wrong). I'm asking them now if it's deliberate, will see what they say.

EDIT: I asked them, and basically the response is that the dsv name implies desmume's format, and therefore dsv without the footer is incorrect and they don't intend to support it anymore. We're thinking about modifying our save files to match desmume's format - the only downside is it'll make them a little larger (we have no intention of actually using the metadata it adds for anything)

Maybe an export to desmume option? I'd rather keep my sav's as raw as possible for use with external editors.

I am playing zelda spirit tracks and am in the ocean relm When I go to load a saved game it will come up but then 2 seconds later crash and the screen goes blank and a message pops up (drastic has stopped) so cant continue playing has anyone got a load state at this point ... Please help

Hello!

First of all, congratulations for your fantastic app, love it!

I am playing pokemon black atm, runs quite smoothly, and wanted to ask if it is possible to make a save in game,(dsv format), copy it to pc, run pokesav to edit some pokemon values etc and then re-import it to drastic and play it with these changes.I am able to edit values in pokesav and save the file at a correct size, however when the game loads it,nothing changes!

Thus far I have been playing through in-game saves and everything has been fine...should i switch to save states perhaps?

Thank you!
