Well, what're you using to boot the software (M3, Supercard, Flash cart?) and which NES emulator (I'll assume nesDS...snesDS is a given since I *think* it's the only SNES emu for the DS).

Ah, I'm not sure then. I don't have a Supercard. That's a built in version of PocketNES right?

you just have to create a 64kb file with the same file name + *.sav at the end!

Any specific way i am meant to do that?

I think most hex editors can resize a file to a given number of bytes, namely 65536. Even some tile editors (such as my own) can do so.

which one is your hex editor - sorry once again i am very tired... stupid ME :(

I use frhed as a hex editor.
"Pin Eight NES Tools" contains 8TED, my own tile editor.

And leave the rest to Lunesta.
