Convert DeSmuME Save Files to PPSSPP

This tool converts your .dsv save file from DeSmuME into the .bin format used by PPSSPP. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser — no file is ever sent to a server.

Different game systems

DeSmuME and PPSSPP do not share a compatible save format because they emulate different game systems. Save files are tied to the hardware they were created on — a PSP save cannot be loaded in a GBA emulator, for example. If you believe your specific game is supported by both emulators, you can still proceed, but results are not guaranteed.

How to find your DeSmuME save file

  1. Export your save from DeSmuME: DeSmuME saves to a "Battery Saves" folder alongside your ROMs. Look for a .dsv file with your game's name.
  2. Upload the save file below and click Convert & Download.
  3. Import the downloaded .bin file into PPSSPP.

Always keep a backup of your original save file before converting.
