Gen 2 save recover

[Californ1a]

Is anyone able to get anything out of this crystal save or is it completely garbled? It doesn't load in an emulator (neither vba-m or mgba) or in pkhex. Pkhex gives the "unsupported file type/size" error, vba-m gives "failed to load rtc from save game", and mgba gives no error but just doesn't have a continue button after starting the game. I dumped it from a physical cart with joey jr, unsure if the battery is dead, don't have an actual gb to try it. I've already tried messing around in a hex editor with the rtc bytes at the end - adding a few extra 0 bytes at the end makes vba-m's error disappear, but still no continue in either emu, and nothing I've tried gets it to load in pkhex. I expect it might just be junk data the dumper grabbed since the battery's likely dead, though if there is something there it'd be great to recover it.

Looks like garbage data. Doesn't look like a game save.

As expected, thanks.
