## Drastic to MelonDS
|
|
|
|
This script will convert the dsv save from drastic emulator to a melonDS save file
|
|
|
|
### How to use
|
|
|
|
You need python 3 installed.
|
|
Specify the input save file
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./dr2mds.py "Pokemon Black.dsv"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will make a "Pokemon Black.sav" file as output
|
|
You can also specify the output like
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./dr2mds.py "Pokemon Black.dsv" -o "PKMN.sav"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How this works ?
|
|
|
|
MelonDS determines the type of save using exact byte count in the save file
|
|
|
|
Which needs to be a power of 2 as mentioned [here](http://melonds.kuribo64.net/faq.php).
|
|
In _Importing a savefile from another emulator_ part under _How to_ section
|
|
|
|
This script calculates the closest power of 2 to the save file and removes the padding.
|
|
|
|
### Other ways of doing this
|
|
|
|
This can be done manually by removing the padding using a hex editor.
|
|
Or using dd like this (on linux/macos)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dd if=Pokemon.dsv of=Pokemon.sav bs=1 count=524288
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will make a 4KiB EEPROM save from drastic to melonDS save.
