mingoo1109 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Hello, I play Pokemon HGSS on a ROM because I lost my AR for my NDS and I hate playing with trash pokemons knowing I can't RNG abuse reliably without my AR. So I started playing on a ROM, legitly RNG-abusing (on a pirated ROM, I know) because this is how I'm used to playing pokemon. Anyways, I was wondering if there is any way to extract .pkm files from my saved ROM HGSS games so I can put them into my NDS game using Pokecheck? I tried playing around with PokeSav and PokeGen but to no avail. I also did some searches but had no luck.
ReignOfComputer Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Why didn't PokeGen work? What emulator are you using? Make sure the emulator is exporting the save in a raw .sav format.
mingoo1109 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 I'm using NO$GBA as my emulator. I opened PokeGen, and opened the .sav file with it, but it says it was unable to determine the save file, but forced it to open it as HG/SS English anyways. However, I think PokeGen doesn't recognize the .sav file since it was blank and nothing was shown in my boxes. The size of the .sav file is 521KB if this helps..
Delta Blast Burn Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Open the ini file in the folder where you have the NO$GBA.exe, at the end of the line that has SAV/SNA it probably says "Compressed", change "Compressed" to "Raw". Edited February 15, 2013 by Delta Blast Burn
ReignOfComputer Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Or go to http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php# And convert from No$GBA to AceKard 2-CycloDS-EDGE-M3 Simply-R4-etcetcetc.
mingoo1109 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Tried both methods.. but my PokeGen still does not recognize my .sav file. I open it with PokeGen and there's nothing
ReignOfComputer Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 If your save is 521 kb it definitely won't work, since it's in No$GBA's format. The correct size should be 512 kb or 1 MB. Tell you what, post your save file here and we'll look at it.
mingoo1109 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 I don't know how to post the save file here directly, so I uploaded it to a 3rd party website http://www.4shared.com/file/VZmcL623/4781_-_Pokemon_SoulSilver__U_.html? Like you said, the save file was converted from a 521 KB to 512 KB. I just can't get it to open with Pokegen

mingoo1109 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Here you go. Sorry for the delay and thanks for doing this! 4781 - Pokemon So.sav
ReignOfComputer Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I'm seeing no issue with your SAV. It opens correctly in PokeGen without errors.
mingoo1109 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Wow.. thanks. I think the problem is with my computer. I tried it on my laptop and it works with no problem just like your screenshot. Thank you so much for your time
