I'm using MelonDS 0.9.1, I've successfully imported savefiles using the import save feature but I can't seem todo it with Phantasy Star 0.
The savefile comes from an R4 cartridge, has 512kb, I try to import directly and it just doesn't do anything, I tried using it on DeSmuME (it worked there) then exporting it, which creates a 32kb file, if I try importing that I get a "file shorter than sram" message on MelonDS, I tried an savefile converter to covert it to raw but it also doesn't work.

I need to get it running on MelonDS to connect to wiimmfii, can anybody help? I don't know much about this stuff, let me know if you need more info from me.

Here's a link to the save itself if that helps.

Edit: Well importing the save actually does something, it corrupts the game and it becomes unplayable, so it loads something, I'm guessing it has to do with the file being 512kb when a save made is melonDS is 64kb, and the save exported from DeSmuME seems to be too small, but I don't know how to properly convert it.

This is the save made in MelonDS (game works fine if I don't import anything)

Sorry, I forgot to set them to be available to everybody, you should be able to do it now.

Ok so, I exported it again from DeSmuME and got a proper 64kb rom which MelonDS managed to import no problem.
I think it might be due to the fact that I'm using a different rom now, that I had to get and patch due to the game's weird anti-piracy measures.

fyi When it didn't work I was using the Bahamut release, it worked with Xenophobia's.
Thanks for trying to take a look anyway Generic
