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

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.

Can I run .bin files on the GBA Mini?

I have the Everdrive GBA Mini and am curious if I can run .bin files, or if I need the GBA Pro to do so. I am trying to get the Azure Flute into my Japanese copy of Pokemon Diamond. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is the gba then download just a theme? And how do you apply it?

Also are there other themes I can use and if so where do I get them?

How worried should I be about shipping?

When I look up my shipping label on usps for my cart it says delivered to mailbox but it wasn’t in my locker and they only have my city and zip code, no street address or apartment number. So where’s my everdrive? What do I do to get it now?
