I need help getting my saves from pkhex onto my roms for fire red, is there any convertors to do so?

[Bobo1298]

does anyone have a convertor or atleast a method to do so? i have been looking for a solution for months now.

[Bobo1298]

My Emulator is mGBA

Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do? PKHeX is a save editor. You can edit your save by opening it through PKHeX.

mGBA has the save format .sav, which PKHeX supports.

When I put it in on mGBA it doesn’t show

You don't need any converter for mGBA.

By default mGBA saves its save file next to the ROM you loaded. Same name but the file extension is .sav instead of .gba. If my ROM is C:\whatever\PokemonEmerald.gba the save would be C:\whatever\PokemonEmerald.sav.
Just make sure to load/save ingame normally, do not use save states.

but i accidentally deleted my save and only i have a pkhex version of it

 

[Bobo1298]

is there any way to put it on a rom?

[theSLAYER]

can't you use that save with the emulator?

Does it expect something different?

I just don't understand the situation here

[Bobo1298]

i can't because when i use all options to put a save on there it doesnt show, so my only option is to convert or put it on a rom as if it been saved on the rom.

 

so i cant put the save onto the rom

what format save is your emulator expecting. not a .sav?

Mind sharing an example of that Pokemon save here? (and only the save, mind you.)
Also, please be a proper save. not a state save.

so just to clarify, if i add in the .srm save file from retroarch/mgba i should be able to edit it in pkhex
