SOLVED:
Godmode9i will create 2 .sav files, one in the 'out' folder and another in a sub folder 'saves'
Just had to move the game.sav to my 'saves' folder (in my roms) and game.nds to my roms folder.


Again, This is not restoring a save file to a game card.

I have dumped NSMB to my DSi. I want to restore my save file to the dumped ROM.
Most guides don't show how or explain if it's possible.

Do I need to use another tool besides Godmode9i?

edit:
I've got the save file dumped but how do I move the save file to the ROM I dumped on my SD card.

edit 2:
Total brain fart but since two .sav files are created I think the game ignores both or opening the dumped rom creates a new save file that superseded the original. Either way it's not hard and I have all my Pokémon saves on my sd card as well.

Save files are not inside the rom itself. If you want to get the save file that was in your cart, you need to extract it as well (like, to play in a flashcard or emulator). I used to do it with a wifi tool, but I'm unsure if you can do it with GM9i.

most emulators/flash carts just name the save file the exact same thing as the rom and put it in the same folder, "Sims 3.nds/Sims 3.sav", pretty sure twilight menu does the same as well?

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol

    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
