Trying to inject save from 3ds VC to "print" off certificate - Pokemon Yellow

[CrucialCamille]

Hello,

I know I'm kind of using a janky work around to get GBE+ working, I'm using Parallels on Mac to get it to work on my MacBook, which hypothetically shouldn't be a problem (I couldn't figure out how to get it to work natively, CMake is way beyond my expertise, I need an explain like I'm 5 guide, but anyways)

I could only get the qt exe to run on windows through parallels

I backed up my Pokemon yellow save through PKSM on the 3ds and it provided a save.dat file, which doesn't seem to be recognized by GBE+ as it is searching for a .bin file, I tried simply renaming the extension to no avail, I looked around for save file converters to no avail

I know the save file is valid because I was able to get it to run on Delta emulator, but they obviously don't have the printer functionality I'm looking for

I just want my complete Pokédex certificate😭

I responded to your question on Reddit, but I'll re-post it here too.

The default behavior of GBE+ is to look for a .sav file in the same folder as the ROM itself. So wherever you placed the ROM, you need to place the .sav file too. The names have to match, with the only difference being the file extension.

It's possible to set a specific folder where GBE+ will look for saves if you edit the .ini file. There's a section named [#save_path] for that with an example in the comments.

Additionally, you can also specify a game save folder through the GUI under Options -> Paths -> Game Saves.

Let me know if that helps and if there's anything else you have questions about.
