+<p>This webapp can be used to convert Libretro VBA format (.4gs, .srm) and .4gz files to sav, and sav to Libretro VBA format.
 <p>All of these file extensions are used to mark different formats for storing <b>GBA game save data</b>.
-<p>sav is the universal format. 4gs/srm is a format used only by three specific emulators: <a href=https://github.com/libretro/vbam-libretro>the libretro fork of VBA-M</a>, <a href=https://github.com/libretro/vba-next>VBA-Next</a> and <a href=https://gba.44670.org>44VBA</a>. <a href=https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_Boy_Advance_emulators#Save_formats>More information here.</a>
-<p>For Game Boy (Color) games, the srm format is exactly the same as the sav format; you can "convert" a Game Boy srm to a sav just by renaming the file to change the extension.

The defining trait of a Libretro VBA format save file is that it always has a size of 139264 bytes (139.3 kB or 136 KB). <a href=https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Game_Boy_Advance_emulators#Save_formats>More information here.</a>

+<p>Please keep in mind that although Libretro VBA-M and VBA-Next use the ".srm" file extension for their unique save file format, <strong>most ".srm" files are not Libretro VBA format</strong>. This tool can only convert Libretro VBA format saves.
 <p><strong>If this tool doesn't work</strong>, <strong><em>Please</em></strong> copy the debug output and paste it into a new issue on the <a href=https://github.com/Thysbelon/gbaconv-web/issues>issues page</a>, along with your as-detailed-as-possible description of the issue. I put a lot of effort into making this, and I don't want that effort to go to waste.
