    hey guys i'm sorry to bother but right now i'm playing 7th dragon on desmume and reached the point where i must go to the large central island west of Kazan. but everytime i go there the game always stopped responding!! what should i do? the progress i made so far is all but wasted..

    the rom i used is from NoRePack group. must i play it over using No$GBA?

    thanks for the help...

    This one?
    If so, have you tried patching it? It might have AP.

    You could make a copy of your save file in the battery folder from desmume

    Copy and paste it to the battery folder of No$GBA

    and rename the file extention of the save file from .dsv to .sav

    And give it a go on the other emulator.

    Sometimes it works.. sometimes not , But worth a backup copy of original save befour trying the copy save, replace original save if not work.

    You can vice verser, .sav to .dsv

    You mean when updating the tool?
    Press 'run as administration' when running the program so that it update itself first.
    When downloading from filetrip, choose 'Manual Download'.

    No did some checking up, and this game dose not have AP .

    Might be some emulation problem

    How ever you could try newer emulation builds.

    http://www.emucr.com/search/label/NDS?&max-results=12

    Are run it from no$zoomer for no$gba full package here : http://www.mediafire.com/?js0l3kmi9pxigiu

    and re-name file extention save, rom and save name must match.

    well... changing the file extension from dsv to sav works and i can play it on No$GBA... however can't change the file extension back to dsv because desmume says game save error..

    oh well that's the way of the world... you solve one problem... yet another problem pops up...

    Sorry to hear , hope you kep't a copy of the original/original save.

    Maybe best and try and borrow an older DS of someone, and find an old r4 card.

    Emulation can be buggy for some games.

    Probably try an NDS save file convertor to convert the .SAV (R4 type) use in the NO$GBA to DeSmuMe's .DSV.

    Its weiard, not on list to convert to...

    Maybe an ofline converter may have it, but not realy used them myself as i had no need for it.

    There is an offline convertor for the said purpose.

    I think the rom you had is glitchy, thus caused the save file to become corrupted. Try getting another copy from different source. Unfortunately it seems the only dumper group for this game is NoRePack. Due to the possibility of your save file already corrupted during the glitch incident, you'll likely have to start over from zero.
