Hi, so, I'm trying to play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky in MelonDS after transferring my DeSmuME save file and I'm running into the saving problem, the FAQ says I should open the file in a hex editor and delete the upper half, but what does "upper half" entail here exactly? Don't want to accidentally break anything

you can also just use the export backup memory function in desmume to get a savefile compatible with melonDS

That's what I was doing; however, it exports as a 256kb file and to save I need a 128kb file

oh sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention. The hex editor I'm using is hxd. There you can press Edit -> Select Block then you enter 20000 as the start offset and 40000 as the end offset then press ok. This should have selected the upper half. Then press backspace to remove it. Then save the file. You might need to confirm something inbetween.

This is really not that convienent nor bearable for every end user to perform this. We should provide a better way of importing desmume saves.

Worked perfectly, thank you!
