Very Noob question

[nathanmcnutt]

Every time I try to open my platinum.sav file It says ERROR: Wrong File Type. I'm trying to edit my box to put some pokemon in them but I'm not able to. I have included my .sav file, could you check to see if anything is wrong with it. I'm very new to this so if you would help thanks a lot.

I think your trying to put party pokemon in your boxes which won't work because party Pokemon have more data

I suggest if those pokemon are needed specifically that you empty your party in game then reuse pokesav to add them to your party

what size is your save file? it has to be 512kb to work.if you are using an emulator to play you can use NO$GBAtoVBA to change it.

[nathanmcnutt]

I made the file larger but it still says wrong file type. And I am using an emulator.

[Endless Eden]

How did you make it bigger?

[Guest]

Replace your NO$GBA.ini file to this NO$GBA.ini file, then save your game.

It will then work with Pokésav.

[nathanmcnutt]

I went into the text file that is produced once you make setting changes and changed it from Confirmed to Unconfirmed. Then started the emulator saved and it makes the file larger. I found it on youtube.

EDIT:

Replace your NO$GBA.ini file to this NO$GBA.ini file, then save your game.

It will then work with Pokésav.

The file won't extract.

[Endless Eden]

yeah thats right now go download this,

Use the instructions it has delete your old save after you ave done it and rename the new one so it matches get me? (in case you mess up you should make a copy of your save someplace else0

[nathanmcnutt]

My .sav file is at 520kb. I didn't use the converter. It's complicated. I no longer get the error and it will open in pokesav, but when it does the first pokemon in my party says none, and the other slots are blank. But the numbers are green as if there is something there.

[Endless Eden]

Yeah it still doesnt work proper.it is the right size, but not the right type.You must use the converter its not that hard. (JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP SAVE INCASE YOU SCREW UP.)

Open it,

click config and set the path to where the ini is,

then click the change button

now click run,open the game save it then click save on the steps menu,

now just find the save in the box on the left and click convert

delete your old save and rename the new one so it matches it

simples

[nathanmcnutt]

It converted. But I'm still having problems. I have a screeny.

[Endless Eden]

mhhh odd..did you try starting the game as normal and saving it then openin poesav?

[nathanmcnutt]

Yeah I just did it still does it. Hmm odd.

[Endless Eden]

quite odd the save still works fine,the size is right,you have the correct option,try changing this line in the ini,

SAV/SNA File Format == Uncompressed

to

SAV/SNA File Format == Raw

then repeat the NO$GBAVBA thing

[nathanmcnutt]

Thank you so much it worked. Hey add me as friend. Thanks again so much.

[Endless Eden]

cool ;D usually it should work for both but RAW has the added advantage of not having to repeat so it wokrs best :wink:
