I don't guarantee you'll find it somewhere, however. If your save doesn't have one of these extensions, try googling around for a GBA save converter or how to convert it yourself. sa1 (raw) saves and is safer if you've been using VisualBoyAdvance or one of its forks, yet it will also probably work if you've played with NO$GBA or other emulator that use.
A Windows computer (it might work under Wine in Linux).įirst of all, backup your GenIII save. An image of the ARM9 Nintendo DS BIOS and one of the ARM7 BIOS (it can be either a. Any of the two items above (if Platinum). A ROM of the generation IV game you want to import pokémon to, patched with Poképatch (if HeartGold or SoulSilver). A clean (unpatched) ROM of the generation IV game you want to import pokémon to (if Diamond or Pearl). It probably means your ROM is unpatched) A clean (unpatched) ROM of the generation III game you want to import pokémon from (if you don't know what an unpatched ROM is, don't worry. I don't know exactly how to patch a ROM, so if you're using HG/SS/Pt, you should teach yourself how to do it and perform the tutorial below. For Platinum, you can try either patching it like HG/SS or using an experimental Action Replay code that neither I nor any of the two people I got the code from tested. For HeartGold, SoulSilver or any non-English GenIV game, you'll have to patch your GenIV ROM with Poképatch 4.2. This tutorial will surely work if you're transfering to English Diamond or Pearl. Thinking of the people who might want to do the same as me, I'm writing this tutorial, which is a mix of scattered info I found around the mid-2000's web that still somehow exists (why don't people care about emulating GBA and DS games anymore?).
