Is there any way of using old scummvm ppc savegames in nds?

Is there any way?
Because I tried to load savegames made in my ppc scummvm version, but they appear to be invalid.

I would say if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. It seems that saves from the DS versin seem to be recognised on the PC, but not the other way round.

This could be to do with the fact that the DS version doesn't save a thumbnail in the save (for space reasons) or perhaps it could be that the PPC save is compressed. The DS version doesn't support zlib compressed saves.

Do you have the schematics of the gamesaves? In this case I can make an app to port savegames form a port to another.

EDITED: I managed to get savegames working by renaming .S** to *.zip, uncompressing and renaming it to .S**. Then it works on DS port.

That's good to know.
