Cant get my edited file back into the game

[dripgoat]

I use Visual boy advance and im trying to get a save ready for my SketchLocke on Emerald. Ive done all the file editing, but i cant save my edited file into the right file type, the game wont load either of the options. I need a .SAV file and i can only make .SAV3 files which it cant load. What am i doing wrong?

Just remove the 3 from the extension.

I did this and at least now the emulator recognizes it as a save, but it still cant load it

Did you start a new game and edit that, or did you add the mons to a blank save?
