GBA game save support. about checkpoint

[BernardoGiordano]

I'll wait for more informations, thanks

didn't want to create a duplicate issue, but is this in regards to the different save size from emulator to vc games? because I had issues with JKSM and importing the Gen2 sav data from my emulator because the file sizes were different and cause the VC to become corrupt

@Ninjistix maybe more data for the online patch and whatever else they added? otherwise probably just emu storing differently and need to chop off the extra data. would help if save was uploaded to compare

@Ninjistix This thread is about GBA saves, GBA =/= GBC
If you wanted to start an issue for adding save file type conversion support for virtual console titles, that'd make a lot more sense, though I have no idea if that'd be needed.

The reason this thread exists is because GBA saves would have to be manually implemented in a much more complex fashion due to things specific to how GBA saves are saved to/from the SD card being unique to all other savefiles on the 3DS.

@cheatfreak47 thanks for the heads up, opened separate thread will remove previous comments

This would be a wonderful feature to have! I have so many gb/gbc/gba game saves in various formats (which there are tools to convert them to the once we need). The current situation for transfering physical cart saves, emulator saves, or VC saves is so convoluted that being able to backup/restore GB/C/A saves within checkpoint would be such an amazing thing! I've all for this being a thing if you're able to implement it (>^_^)>

Went ahead and tied this into #344, for when that is fleshed out and finished.
