Hi, can you help me transfer a save from stand-alone emulator SSF (for sega saturn) to retroarch core (beetle saturn)? I've already tried using Sega Saturn RAM Backup parser tool and sega saturn converter tool to no avail. Yes, I use the default "hook" option in SSF which saves each individual file. This is frustrating because for a test I got to a save point using traditional "non-hook" regular saturn save method (internalbackupRAM.bin), and was able to extract the BIN file, insert it into a BKR file, and see the save in-game, but with a nearly identical BIN file from the hook, the game returns an error when showing system memory saves.
I already have 10 emulators on this computer (via retroarch) and was able to get the game to run, just not showing saves. I even copied system memory to cartridge (internal to external) but it's both backup memory so won't show up, even after using parser tool. For sega saturn converter tool it does nothing. I installed latest .net v7.0 perhaps it requires v5.0 but windows warned me I should get latest. I've seen some guides online, specifically through this forum, but after following all the steps I keep getting an error. This has been my obsession last couple days I could've already recreated the saves manually by playing, and avoided a lot of stress lol. As far as I know it's not possible to convert backup library saves to regular saturn saves either (backup/internalbackup/gamename.bin -> internalbackupRAM.bin for example)
