Problems with PKHEX - 20.10.24- Invalid Save

[xana009]

Hi, Ive tried opening my saves with the new release and the app says are invalid saves.

Ive tried extracting saves with JKSV and Checkpoint (done binary comparison) exact saves and the app doesnt open any of them.

Ive noticed that my SHIELD saves work fine, but my SWORD saves (even previous to Crown tundra) cant be opened.

 

I need some help.

 

Thanks

Somehow you changed your "Game" value to "Sun" (SN), which PK HeX does not like -- it expects SW/SH.

I skipped over that restriction and manually changed it to Sword, and exported the file. It's attached.

Thanks, its weird, since also old saves that ive not edited for months have that issue. Idk if my pkhex has some settings saved on my pc that affect that.

Hey, could i ask you how you did that? I used a binary comparison tool to check both saves and the lasts bytes were the difference.

The save file is encrypted and signed; PKHeX unpacks it and checks its integrity.

This portion of PKHeX's code will reject an invalid save file to try and prevent a corrupted save from causing errors in the program.

https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/3b5bcc9dad36d60aa8d5f2cd084a622621f37e92/PKHeX.WinForms/MainWindow/Main.cs#L725-L731

I just set a breakpoint before the if statement, and changed the version when the breakpoint was hit.

Nice, how did you changed the version? I was reading the code, but cant find how you determined the version of my save so as how yuo fix it.
