Just use something like CheckPoint to create a. Note that TitleDB isn't around anymore, so ignore that part of the guide. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel, so follow this Youtube guide: *I can't post hyperlinks, so just search on Youtube "How to Use Godmode9 - to "Dump Nintendo DS Cartridges" for Flashcarts/Emus/TWLoader + Backup Saves!". So here's how.ġ) Load up Godmode9 and dump the cartridge.
The reasons may be: speed up training, ease of use, etc. So you want to play your DS/3DS Pokemon game on an emulator and be able to load it back to your physical game after. Hopefully someone will search this same question and find a bit of help.ĮDIT: Thanks FAST for the reply - I was typing my resolution before you sent it! sav, before you can restore it in your DS game. But you then need to export this progress into what they call a "raw" save format, or. dsv file to keep track of your updated save progress. The emulator (as far as I can tell) uses this thing called a. But when you save in-game, it does not overwrite the. sav file, in order to play your personal Pokemon game. sav file that you loaded into the emulator. That lets you export your game's updated. If you have a homebrew capable 3ds then you have some options there from what I recall.Īfraid I am not current on either but thought I would just say it can definitely be done and change your title for you.įor Desmume, you need to first load up the game you want to put into the cartridge, then do: File -> Export Backup Memory. Pokemon can have issues with certain tools if it is one of those with the pokewalker thing - they stuck the communications for the walker on the same thing that handles the saves and many tools (which will work for every non pokemon game) don't know what to do there.Īnyway what do you have? If you have a DS/DS lite then you have some choices as you can hotswap things. What you want is the ability to restore a save to a game cart, which can be done quite happily. That is not what you seem to want though. When most people ask the question you have in the title ( Is there a way to play ROMs on NDS cartridges? ) then they want to play a different ROM on a normal game, which has not been done for the DS and I doubt it ever will be (flash carts were too good, too cheap and too easy to come by compared to older systems where people would devise methods for it).
