Is it possible to use (US) saves on a (J) version of the game?

I was just wondering, because I have heard of some versions working better on my flashcart. Less freezes, better patches etc.

 

well im using my U save for my english patched J rom of pokemon. so im guessing yes

 

Yes Most definitely- just rename the saved file to exactly that of the other ds game

 

Do I just have to rename the name of the save to the same name as the rom? Like for example, Pokemon.nds and pokemon.sav?

Ahh, you posted while mine was posting. Thanks for the help

 

I REALY WANT TO COMMENT ON THIS

YES all you have to do is RENAME the ROM SAV FILE

but do you know WHATS COOLER THEN THAT
Spasificly The Pokemon GAMES

there the SAME

HEART GOLD AND SOUL SILVER are the same game


accseptions being the

INTRO

THE Legendary pokemon at the end of the game



but what is cool

is that you can PLAY say

SOUL SILVER

beat the GAME

Catch the Version Exclusive pokemon


then Take the Save FILE rename it to the other VERSION

(you need both ROMS THO)

and all the OTHER VERSIONS EXCLUSIVE POKEMON WILL BE THERE

(dont think the Legendarys will be there)

but i know the Wild ones will be

THIS IS A COOL little TRICK
i learned from playing Fire red Leaf green

Went and started Fire red

Caught Arbok

then change the save file name

then caught Sandslash (a LEAF GREEN exlusive (or its the other way around ) you get my point)


then i changed it back to the original name
and its fine

 

Can we use a Japanese save on a US ROM?

 

Normally I'd say no, my (E) saves on games don't work on my (U) games, something in the programming...


I would advise (because I don't swap E with U often on ds-I know this is the case with ps2, ps1 and gamecube games) to just TRY it and post back results (for those asking).

 

that's neat maybe I'll try that later...
I just to need a back-up file for insurance...lol
