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.
Thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Is the conversion with ED64-Saveswap needed as well?
