Save file format is not recognizable

[Corho]

Happen this with all rom that I try. What can I do ?

Thank you

[theSLAYER]

this is a shot in the dark, but maybe this would help:

make sure you back up a copy of the original save first!

the software can't open

Just copy/paste the file in another directory for backing up.
How's the file size compared to a real save file?

what do you call real save file ?

[theSLAYER]

upload your save here, we'll take a look at it.

One that comes from a cartridge, which is a 32KB .sav file

I join the .sav file. The problem is the same with all the roms.

Almost the entire length of 0x8000 is filled with 0xFF.
(meaning your save isn't written properly)

(File size seems correct, but rather there's nothing in it?)

No I save the game with the emulator. I use VBA but it is the same thing with other emulators.

[theSLAYER]

Which version of VBA you using?

Do you have this option?

1.8 version and yes I have this option.

What's funny is I don't know what's my own version (I think it's 1.8 too)

Are you exporting via that option?

I tried and that not functions (I exported the save file like that and I have the same result)

the save is still a bunch of 0xFF o.0

By the way, when you save in game, can you restart the emulator and continue the gameplay?

Yeah (I re-made all because the Fire Red Rom reads "cartridge is damaged" but it is the same thing than Fire Red)

[theSLAYER]

Okay, get Pokemon Fire red to load,
change the save option.

Save in game multiple times, (make state saves too),
reset the emulator, make sure it loads the progress, and save once again.

Close the emulator,
 

Then send me that save.

I took a Gold rom (because I can't save on the Fire Red rom) but there are the same problems. Do you need the neutral save file of Gold rom ?

Pokemon Gold (F) [C][!].sav

I referred to fire red, because the previous save you gave was rouge feu.

The Gold save you just linked is valid, and can be opened in PKHeX.

[Corho]

Thank you it functions
