can you describe your situation more concretely and name the file names?

all it is are 2 save games and when i try to go to the save state its all grayed out even though i put the .sav file right next to the rom. what i had done was i tried to use desmuse to transfur pokemon to my real dsi but bc it doesnt have wifi capiblity i'm trying this and i can confirm that the .sav file works.

savestates are not the same as savefiles. Savefiles is for saving in game (like you would do on a real DS) while savestates are a snapshot of the current emulation state (for this reason they aren't compatible between emulators and even between emulator versions).

so if i were to do a savestate in desmu and transfur it over it would work?

you can use File -> Export Backup memory in desmume to get a savefile compatible with melonDS.

that's right. Like I said, savestates and savefiles are something different, you transfered the savefile, so if you start the game in melonDS you should be eable to resume the game you saved (in game!) in desmume.

how did you name the savefile while exporting it from desmume and how is the rom file named?

well obviously melonds can't guess that those two files belong together. You need to name the savefile 1015 - Pokemon - Diamond Version (USA) (Rev 5).sav

what do you mean by that?

If you want to trade with a real DS basically no setup is required besides hooking both up to the same wifi server (e.g. https://pkmnclassic.net/) and using indirect mode in melonds (so disable the direct mode option, the other wifi options only matter for local wireless emulation).
