way too small to be a sav.

 

I opened your file in a hex editor, and it appeared to be a nocash file.



As such, follow the instructions here:

(Open your .ini file, change SAV/SNA file format == xxx to SAV/SNA file format == Raw. If it doesn't work, use the supplied .ini file.)

so if I understand correctly I should change Compressed (good/1z) into Raw?

Yes, change the Compressed (good/lz) to Raw

I ended up using your .ini file, thanks for helping me out! I watched a tutorial already about the basic functions but if any more problems come up I'll be sure to ask here

Hello, so I have the exact same problem as this person, but in my case the save file is too big to be supported. 

Thank you in advance!

How did you obtain this?

Anyway, use a Hex editor, snip off the end, and it'll load in PKHeX

probably extraction method or something. Just remember to remove the extra bytes in the future.

As for injecting back into your game, you *may* need the extra bytes back after editing.
