@berlinhimmel Unfortunately not, quite a lot of games on consoles have different memory processes for the NTSC and PAL versions, so the saves aren't swappable.

@retropieuser555

I would love to, but, I can't seem to get the save file to work between mupen64plus and lr-mupen.

Lr-mupen saves data as a .SRA file, mupen64plus saves it as .SRM . I have been unable to convert the srm to sra.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I've tried pj64tosrm and other utilities, carefully checked the directories and names, etc.

@tripleb84 I’m assuming that the wrong rom is being used. If the game is modded with an ips file, the srm may be for the base game. Or even a version difference or region difference. Many reasons why an srm file may nor be working.

I've just had the same problem, and looking for a solution that runs on Linux, led me to looking in the Memcardrex code, I've come up with the following:

dd if=<file.gme> bs=1 skip=3904 count=131072 of=<file.srm>

It turns out the GME files are really just the same as SRM files with a 3904 byte header in front, the above commands strips that header and leaves a raw memorycard file.

@joelkolb Wow! Thanks for the really detailed explanation!

@mitu Yeah, I meant just for the cases that I can't control. I'll be shutting it down properly from now on. Thanks for the help!

So I started a new game, saved at the first point, exited, then renamed the srm to srm.bak for safekeeping, then uploaded and renamed the srm I wanted and it worked.

Any ideas why this is an issue? I'm not really complaining, I'm more intrigued at this point. It almost seems as if the emulator keeps track of whether or not a save should exist. That seems counterintuitive considering the concept of removeable memory cards on the console itself and I would assume an emulator would not need to care if a game had ever been started. Is it similar to modern consoles where it tracks and creates an internal memory file of the game existing and has save files separate?

Well, all is well. It worked and worked perfectly. The saved games were there and ready to go. They loaded and played without issue, though it's a bit different playing them on the Zero than it is on the 3 B+, of course. Lower resolution and the startup takes a bit longer.

Right now I'm updating Emulation Station so that I can get the scraper working properly, which went fairly quickly with the Pi 3 B+, but is taking forever with the Zero. It's chugging along, though.

Thanks for you help, everyone. I truly do appreciate it. :)

I added some e-Reader Mario Party-e minigames to the Github

Okay, I'm at work right now & will get all that info as soon as I can tomorrow. Thanks.

@hankola copied them via file manager and how I previously did it which was going via \RETROPIE.
think I might need to do a clean install again

I have converted FF7 to PBP but it just keeps sending me back to the game list every time
