I did everything you asked from steps 1 to 3, but when I load the rom the .sav file does not show up. The emulator I'm using doesn't look like it let's you pull your own .sav files and only let's you pull if you have saved before on that rom. I'm using My Boy! Any suggestions?
Edit: I've managed to get it figured out, seems like you have to kill the bael before the end of turn 6, even if you kill him on counterattack after 6 it will reset. Thanks for the help my dude hope my input will help some others.
