R4i save dongle, PKHex and Ultra moon

[Hex94]

Hello everyone. I looked around a bit but wasnt able to find an answer to my question. I used the R4i Save Dongle to back up the save on my Ultra moon. I was wanting to do some PKHex stuff, but when i try to load the save into the desktop application it gives me an error that says “Invalid save file loaded. Aborting.” The size of the save file is 1.00MB. The R4i save dongle is on firmware version 1.3. And my 3DS is unmodified. I was hoping to keep it that way.

 

I tested out the save dongle and PKHex with pokemon diamond and everything went smoothly

 

Any ideas?

R4i save dongle won't work.

Standard cartridges have save stored in the chip, however Pokémon since Gen 6 are stored in part of the ROM.
R4i save dongle doesn't extract cart2 saves if I'm not mistaken.

Gen. 7 are card1. But this is encrypted save data, unless you are able to extract the required keys from the cartridge and someone makes a program that can do the decryption on PC, you can't do much with it.

In other words, R4i dongle won't be able to help you dump saves. Just rely on CFW to do that.
