Long shot - How to get old .sav file to work with modern gameboy color emulators? (imgur.com)

I have a very old Caanoo that I have been playing pokemon pinball for over 11 years. The game system has been repaired many times and still works(which is awesome). Recently, the system has been showing its age. It has to be plugged in to play more than 10 minutes and the joystick is getting pretty run down. I had to 3d print a repair and it looks...pretty ugly if im honest.

I have a score of 15,000,000,000+ ATM. I would like to keep it, somehow. Anyone know how to use the .sav file in another emulator? From what I understand, the Caanoo used the ohboy emulator back around 11 years ago? I can pull the files off the system, but not sure what else to do.

Let me know, I still have the gameboy cartridge and the Caanoo.

yes, even 11 years ago. it is dumping the ram state of the emulated processor and game state not of the emulator on it's host system. There may be different header data or something that could cause problems but realistically all .sav's really should be the same.
