    The data is stored in a different way in .dsv and .sav files.
    By changing .dsv to .sav, you're not changing the save data itself, you're just changing the type of the save file which doesn't really change anything.

    You could try some save file converter if there is one.
    Another way would be by hacking the save file which is close to impossible if you don't know how to (not like I could either) :D

    Well, the following steps are not exactly converting the dsv to sav but it will sorta create a new sav file with your current progress.

    1) Open desmume
    2) Go to File > Export Backup Memory

    The rest is self explanatory. You will have both the dsv AND the sav.
    Tried and tested :D
