Checkpoint dumping an empty save file

[BlackMage]

I currently have a copy of Platinum, and I want to edit its save file with pkhex. I saved it using checkpoint but when I go to check my save on the SD card, the file is completely empty. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Make sure you're saving in-game, not using some kind of weird save state.

If it still gives you a blank save, try using other save managers.

If other save managers don't work as well, maybe you have a fake cart.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any recommendations on another save manager? I tried using JKSM but from my understanding it only works on 3ds games and not NDS. Worse comes to worst I have a Diamond cartridge that I can use and I get a not empty save from checkpoint that way. I was planning on importing Pokémon using pkhex onto that diamond game and then trading it over to my platinum; however, whenever I try and restore a pkhex save into the diamond cart it says that it is an unsupported file type. I would ideally like to find another save manager first though so I don't have to use another game. Thanks!

 I have already tried TWL but it says that it is an unsupported file type and then just closes the software along with homebrew.
