Hi,

What kind of file should I be selecting? .SAV? .GBA? Not sure; neither worked.

The .GBA seemed to select and do nothing, and the .SAV got stuck at "Loading..."

I'm trying Pokémon Fire Red from http://www.freewebs.com/emusaves/savs.htm (.SAV) and the .GBA from freeroms.com

EDIT: Actually, I figured that out. Is there a way I can upload savegames?

You definitely want the .gba file.

There's no upload-progress indicator, it may just be that the .gba file is taking a while to process - I think Fire Red is like 16MB or something.

There should definitely be a progress bar in there but it doesn't actually upload the file anywhere, it uses the HTML5 file API which lets you read files locally.

Is there a way to upload saves, so I can do things like automatically have the Legendaries? Yeah, cheating, but whatever :)

There is an upload savegame button before you load the game. Once you've loaded the game you have to reset before you can load another savegame.

Hmmm. I loaded "FireRed.GBA" then click "RESET" then clicked "Upload Savegame" — and got "FAILED".
