"First, what you want to do is start up VirtualBoyAdvanced.exe (VBA) Secondly, open [File -> Open] OR [Ctrl + O] the game (.gba/.gbc/.zip) you want to export to VirtualBoyAdvancedLink (VBALink)
Third, load [File -> Load...] OR [Ctrl + L] OR [File -> Load Game -> *] OR [F1] your savedata/savegame/savefile/data for the game.
Then, what you want to do is SAVE it again but wait, if you're using the [Shift + F*] OR [File -> Save...] OR [File -> Save Game -> *]initially to save/load your game (which is the .sgm file), DON'T.

This time what you want is to save within the game itself (e.g. Pok?mon [*Start* - > *Save*])

After you've saved your game, what you want to do is export [File -> Export -> Battery File...] the battery file (which would be a .sav file)


Then, you can go ahead and run VBALink
Subsequently, Open [File -> Open] OR [Ctrl + O] the game.
When you've opened the game, you want to import [File -> Import -> Battery File...] the previously saved battery file (.sav)

A message will appear and it reads "Importing a snapshot file will erase any saved games and reset the emulator. Do you want to continue?"
Just click "Ok" (BTW, I'm not entirely sure that it would "erase" your savegames or not.... mine doesn't but still it's a good idea to backup your savegames (.sgm))

After you've clicked "Ok", the game will reset and you can load (NOT THE SAVEGAME .sgm file) the game in the new emulator by using the "continue" option in the game itself.




NOTE: If you cannot save a game in the game itself then probably you can't export it to the new VBALink"

That is me btw..
