Repository of my retro game saves. Readme includes various tools for interacting with game saves and games. Also included is firmware for devices and programs used with saves.
- drehren/ra_mp64_srm_convert - RetroArch N64 Save Converter. Worked for Snowboard Kids 2 (so far) but created SRA and EEP files when only EEP was needed.
- heuripedes/pj64tosrm - Another SRM converter. See
/executables/. Just drag + drop files to convert onto the exe. Tested minimally. - feyris-tan/gdidrop - Convert Dreamcast BIN/CUE to GDI. WORKS.
- bryc/mempak - Online N64 memory pak manager
- savefileconverter.com
- save-editor.com

- 4? Classic RGB display (perfectly restore the original display effect, and the pixel gap looks smaller, the brightness will be slightly darker)
- 5? RGB display (closest to the original display, but the brightness is very low)
- 1? Grid line display (close to the display effect of DMG)
- chdman - Converts between GDI/CUE and CHD
- saveswap - worked for N64 SRAM (.sra .srm) saves from Joey to work on the Everdrive (and vice versa), does a word AND byte swap by default which is what works for the Everdrive

- Manage physical VMUs using SD card adapter + Dreamshell
- SD card needs
DreamShell_4.0.0_RC4_and_Boot_Loader.7zexpanded in root - IMPORTANT: Get the full VMU dumps, not individual saves, otherwise information is lost
- SD card needs
- Use
vmuexplorer.exeto manage the files*.vmdfiles can be renamed*.bin
- Delete
dc_nvmem.binfrom Anbernic to clear out the Dreamcast emulator's internal memory (which will clear PSO SN/AK)- This only worked deleting over SSH, and did NOT work when deleting from the SD card on PC
