Cant find save file

[Novacaine]

I've been playing Pokemon Black on DeSmuME for a few days, and today when I tried using PokeGen to get some stuff, I kind of came to a bump in the road when I realized I don't have any idea where to get my save file from the game to edit.

Can anyone tell me where you'd find this?

[Dreamer]

You will find a .dsv file in a file named Battery(Created after you opened desmume for the 1st time)

Ah, I'd found that already while searching through files outside of PokeGen and had presumed that's what it was, until I tried loading into PokeGen, where I found it wasn't one of the "supported files" PokeGen could load.

How do I manage to solve that?

File -> Export Backup Memory

Is there anywhere in specific you have to export it to though?

Because I've exported it before, loaded that with PokeGen, saved, and then tried importing it back to the game, but it made no changes what so ever.

You don't have to export anything. Desmume saves the save file to a .dsv file (as was mentioned) in the folder you have configured in "Path Settings" for "SaveRam". If you're loading your game with a save state, you're not utilizing the save file and obviously won't see any changes.

EDIT: Ok, I just figured out how to load my game into PokeGen!

Unfortunately, I still dont know how to get the edited files to play on the ROM[/color]

Can you not just overwrite the dsv file you loaded?

If not, you could try:

1. Save as a raw sav file

2. In DeSmuMe, File -> Import Backup Memory -> Load the file you just saved

Oh! Thank you! I finally figured it out
