Binary is not compatible with Save

[Tavren]

Please help I am so annoyed with this. It makes 0 Sense. 
Pokemon - FireRed Version (USA).sav

[theSLAYER]

It makes complete sense. Your "save" is filled with garbage data.

 

Consider saving in-game, then exporting the battery save.

[Tavren]

I am using VBA

I do save in game.

Please elaborate?

Sav: Pokemon - FireRed Version (USA)(1).sav

Still got same error please check

 

 

I even tried exporting battery as flash save and it still gives same error. I was super excited to try this program out. Wish it would work!

Please don't multipost. Just edit any new information into the latest unanswered post.

Also, our site supports uploads, no need to upload to another site.

Same issue. You're clearly doing something wrong.

How are you saving the game?

[Tavren]

I save by going to File->Save...

Then to export battery file I go to File->Export->Battery File...

Could it be my GBA game thats the issue? 

Here is my save type as well

That's not saving in-game. That's saving via emulator.

You know, pressing the Start button to open the menu in the game, then selecting Save..

(ignore the OT, was using someone else's save...)

I do like your confidence to make that declaration, when in reality that's not what you're doing..

[Tavren]

That totally worked. Saved in the ACTUAL game and then exported battery! THANKS!

Am I able to give you rep or no?

liking the post is enough :3

[Tavren]

Sorry one more thing. Once I Export Save from PKHEX I go to VBA, Load up the game and import battery file right? But When its not showing my edits!

Soft reset after that.

[Tavren]

How?

Also is there a way to bypass this PID stuff?

Does a pokemon HAVE to be legal to be put in game?

Edited June 30, 2020 by Tavren

[theSLAYER]

Erm, PID is naturally given to a mon. If you change the stats, you'll invalidate the RNG calls that called for PID and the stats in succession.
(so, it is a way to know they're illegal).

As for whether a mon has to be legal, it doesn't have to be, but I recommend it.

For starters, how about uploading the save?

We aren't magicians; can't properly diagnose the problem without looking at the save.

Save twice in-game before trying to use it on PKHeX.

[Effort]

aha well that was easier than I thought it would be you're a legend

hello, i have the same problem with pokemon emerald. I extracted the sav with gba backup tool and when i put it in PKHeX it say me the size is invalid or binary is not compatible with save. Here is the save file in case you can take a look at me. Thanks

Also not a save. Either Gbabackuptool is mucking up, or you're trying to dump the save of a fake/repro cart.

Well, after much research, I have concluded that it is a reproduction and that the game is saved in the sram, so I used your tool and I was able to get the sav, but how is the sav injected back into the .gba , I replace it with hxd?

There is presently no public way to inject a save back into a repro cart.

I imagine someone knows, but it's private info as of now.

is there a way to delete those junk files and be able to load that game into PKHEX?

If you are referring to a save file that's completely filled with FF or 00, no. The save is empty/uninitialized in that case, there is nothing you could load.

[theSLAYER]

Yeah, that is empty. Your save isn’t magically hiding amongst that data. But that is their file. This error can occur for a few different reasons, and it differs case by cases. Upload your save and let us take a look.

[Reversal]

Hey, I found this Thread by looking what could be wrong with my save.
Sadly I am unable to find it here, so maybe you could help me. I Got the file with the GBA Backup Tool for R4 Flashcards with my physical copy.FILE POKEMON LEAF GREEN (DE) Sadly i dont know how to Upload on here so i uploaded it on a regular file page.

It would be great if anyone could tell me whats wrong and how to do it right (My Physical Copy of Ruby works completely fine even now)
