This is a guide on how to transfer saves from an original n64 cart to NSO. While this isn't an exhaustive list, this should help get you started. Each save is different and has different instructions on how to transfer it depending on what kind of save it is. Please use the game list table to see how each game should be transferred.
NOTE: You will need a jailbroken switch in order to perform this. I personally use JKSV to transfer my saves back and forth.
Copy and paste the .eep
file to the save directory and rename it to cartridge.sram
.
For example: Copy Banjo-kazooie.NBKE.eep
to saves/N-4868_e/cartridge.sram
Copy and paste the .sra
file to the save directory and rename it to cartridge.sram
.
For example: Copy TheLegendOfZelda.CZLE.sra
to saves/N-3038_e/cartridge.sram
- Download pj64tosram and ED64-SaveSwap.
- Take your
.srm
file and drag and drop it ontopj64tosrm_64bit.exe
. This will create a.sra
file. - Take your
.sra
file and open it inED64-Saveswap.exe
. - Next, select
SRAM 256Kbit - 32Kbytes
and checkbyte-swap
andword-swap
. It should look like this.
After you've converted the file, copy and paste it to the proper directory and rename it to cartridge.sram
.
For whatever reason, the X7 models dump the SRA saves as SRM, so just rename your saves accordingly.
For example: Copy TheLegendOfZelda.CZLE.srm
to saves/N-3038_e/cartridge.sram
Okay, this one has been a mixed bag for me. Sometimes just copying over the .fla
file and renaming it to cartridge.sram
(much like the EEP process) worked. Sometimes using the save converter here worked. Try both and see what works best for you.
@curllzshmurllz I don't currently have any cartridges on hand that use FLA as a save format. Obviously, this guide is giga old at this point as it doesn't even have the additions to N64 catalogue right now. I can tell you how I went about figuring things out when I was first working on this.

file. It should be under something likesaves/N-10153_e/suspendpoint1/state.png
whereN-10153_e
could be anything. That's just an example.If the image matches the game/your saved state, you found the folder the save needs to go to (in the example above, it'd be the
N-10153_e
folder). I imagine from there, you'd just copy your FLA file to where thecartridge.sram
file is (at least, that's what it was named for the other save files). If it has a SRAM file extension, just rename your FLA file to match it and overwrite the one that's there. I hope this helps/makes sense. I haven't even touched my nintendo switch in the past year so I've been fairly removed from this. If this works for you, let me know and I can update the guide.EDIT:
It looks like that save converter site might just do it for you.

I haven't messed with my switch for a while and I think atmosphere doesn't have a stable build that supports 18.0.0 yet. Perhaps I'll mess around with things again once it does.
