You shouldn't need a special format - any pgn file should do.
Try these instructions (from http://www.chessgenius.com/faq.htm ),
and if they don't work for you, email support@chessgenius.com

(From http://www.chessgenius.com/faq.htm:
Q. How can I transfer a game from my Desktop PC to my
  Palm device?
A.
1) On PC, open the text file containing the chess game move listings in PGN
format.
2) On PC, open Palm Desktop and go to Memo Pad area.
3) Click the New button in the list pane.
4) Copy and paste one (and only one) game from the source text file into the
memo.
5) Click the Apply button to update the Memo list pane.
   Note: To transfer more than one chess game repeat Steps 3,4,5 for each game.
-one chess game per memo.
6) HotSync your Palm to copy Palm Desktop Memos to your Palm.
7) Launch ChessGenius on your Palm device as normal and choose
Menu/Commands/Load Game (or shortcut /L) and tap on the desired game.
8) To replay from the beginning of the game, choose Menu/Commands/Take back all
(or shortcut /A) then Step forward.
Note: The ChessGenius Load game command lists ALL memos that start with a PGN
tag. e.g. [text"text"] . The first character must be a '['.
Note: ChessGenius can load standard PGN games. Comments and variations are
ignored.
