ok i need help. i recorded a vid of my problem but its kinda long with explaining, sorry
but basicly i had gone through pokemon diamond and pokemon ranger originally in desmume, and i wanted to switch to melonds so i could do local transfers between games. my diamond .sav file moved over perfectly fine but pokemon ranger is having issues. it wont load my save file and it can't save anything itself. help is greatly appreciated! (also sorry if the game audio drowns out my voice partly, i forgot to change the volume) |

1. delete the melonds savefiles for both games
2. either build latest melonds from source (https://github.com/Arisotura/melonDS#windows) or if you have github account you can also just download the latest artefact from our CI (https://github.com/Arisotura/melonDS/runs/1407782997). 3. use the File -> Import savefile function to import your desmume saves into melonds ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!

You should have opened the MinGW 64-bit Terminal as said in the instructions, not the MSYS2 terminal. ____________________
How to write an emulator
1. throw code to be emulated somewhere 2. make memory system that allows accessing that code 3. emulate CPU 4. have fun implementing all the other hardware -- Arisotura, Tuesday 5th January 2021, 22:00:17 |

you need to enter pacman -S git make mingw-w64-x86_64-{cmake,mesa,SDL2,toolchain,qt5,libslirp} first
well here's a build: https://kuribo64.net/get.php?id=HiPNYMrcjNy4g8kQ ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go! "clearly you need to mow more lawns and buy a better pc" - Hydr8gon |

it's inside the build inside the melonDS folder.
I just noticed that there's a way which is way easier. You can also just use the export backup memory function from desmume to get a savefile compatible with melonds (though it has a bug that it doesn't work with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Sky) ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!

i dont have a melonDS folder though
and also, I did do the export raw .sav file in desmume, Diamond worked completely fine with it in MelonDS but ranger wont load the save and if I start a new game I cant save, it keeps saying "data could not be written" |

please remove the link to the rom, as it's a copyrighted file you have no right to distribute.
I managed to get it working by padding it to 256kb (for some reason desmume trims the unused parts, which it shouldn't do for the export backup memory option!) https://kuribo64.net/get.php?id=59WVlnDTpTrcCozZ ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!
