Pokémon Fire Red save not recognized

[prog rocker]

Hi, I made an account here to ask something that has been bothering me for weeks.

I use Pokéhex mainly to make mono-line challenges possible in my games. However, when I'm trying to open my Fire Red save this happens:

 

I don't know what I'm doing wrong since every other save file I have (Black, Emerald, etc.) opens with no problems. Can you help me, please?

Try redownloading PKHeX and use that. The save file is loaded btw

Already did that. It's not working. Not sure if this is important or not, but I tried using both the normal VBA and the Re-record(?) version. Should I attach the sav?

Yeah, sure.

you've used cheats on the save file, which breaks any pattern used for save detection.

you'll have to hold control when importing the save.

Thanks a lot. I didn't know about that trick. Guess I'll be finally to complete my Butterfree mono challenge now.

EDIT: I know this is kind of off-topic but can you tell me why I can't use my Crystal saves after editing them? VBA gives me a message about not reading the real-time clock or something like that.

it's ripping off the last few bytes used for the RTC footer -- it's probably a 1-2 lines of code fix but I'm preoccupied with the new stuff right now

You can compare the two files in a hex editor at the bottom, just insert the RTC data at the end of the edited file.
