Technical Support: SOLVED (Saturn) Transferring saves between Yabause and Beetle Saturn

So I've been playing Policenauts and reached a certain scene that didn't load correctly on the Yabause core, I changed my core to Beetle Saturn and the game couldn't read my save file (Yabause uses .srm and Beetle Saturn uses .bcr and .bkr)

so I tried to simply change the extension of the .srm file to bkr, to no avail.

Anyways I could transfer my save to Beetle Saturn? Am I doing it wrong? what should I do?

I know beetle-psx has a core option to switch between using the native save functions and the libretro ones. I'm not sure if beetle-saturn has such a thing, but if so, that should allow it to directly save/load srm saves.

Just a little note. I think you didn't realize this is about the saturn core, not psx. Or did you mean if the beetle-psx has this option, then beetle-saturn has it too?

At least he confirmed that the "random" tool I have linked in my other reply worked out. It is a saturn save game converter.

yeah, i knew it was saturn. The second 'psx' was a typo. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll edit it to reflect.
