Migration script to move your saves and games from the Everdrive GBA Mini to the Pro

I went through the Mini to Pro migration myself and realized the save structure is completely different between the two. The Mini dumps everything flat in /GBASYS/save, while the Pro uses a per-game folder structure under /edgba/gamedata. Same deal for emulator saves and emu files.

So I wrote a script that handles it all automatically:

  • Copies your games and game directories
  • Migrates GBA saves to the correct `bram.[ext]` format
  • Migrates emulator saves
  • Migrates emulator files (gb.gba, nes.gba, etc.) to the proper platform folders

Available as a Bash script (macOS/Linux) and also converted to PowerShell (Windows).

The only requirement before running the script is to initialize the ED GBA Pro SD card first by booting your GBA with it inserted before running the script.
