inky0flower Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Hi, I have the latest version of PkHex (i guess). I tried to load my savefile for Black 2 on DesMuMe emulator, but PkHex tells me that the file is too large. I've read a few topics with the same problem, tried to do everything i could find, but still it doesn't work other savefiles for Black, Platinum etc are working perfectly fine, they are 512KB, but my Black 2 savefile is 8193KB I was trying to load a .dsv file, I'm using the in-game menu savefile, tried to do (File>Export Backup Memory). Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand what exactly thank you in advance for any help
theSLAYER Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Make sure you save in-game (pressing start/x then save), instead of using state saves.

Hi, thank you for answering! Sorry, but i've already mentioned that I'm using the in-game saving. Right now I checked it again, saved twice, but still, no progress.

You gotta believe me, sometimes when people insist they're using in-game saving, they're actually using state saves using the emulator's menu. Hence why I had to clarify you gotta press the button to open up the menu. Hmm, in any case, upload the save for us to see. Also make sure you've played the game far enough (got starter, can open PC and view the boxes).

Hope this helps 4 - Pokemon Black 2.dsv
BlackShark Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 The save is ok, but your emulator filled the the rest of the file with empty data. Try using a newer version of DesMuMe http://desmume.org/download/ 4 - Pokemon Black 2.dsv 2

Ettelius Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I have this same problem with Pokemon Black with a 1mb sav file. However the most recent version of Desmume still give me a file that is too big to be read or rather it doesn't change at all (I definitely save it properly). Pokemonblack.dsv

Gen5 save files are not 1MB, they are 512KB. Don't misconfigure DeSmuME to have incorrect savedata sizes. PKHeX is working as intended.

PKHeX is working as intended. Sorry but please don't misunderstand I haven't configured anything at all. This is an old save file that alredy had that size and I don't know why nor how to fix it. The game still play like normal in the emulator.
BlackShark Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 The emulator wrote the file like that so of course it can read it, 1MB isn't a valid size though. It's probably the 512KB save + another 512KB of garbage or a mirror of the save. This can probably be fixed by halving the file using a hex editor. 1
