Unrecognized gen3 save file dump

[Lacus]

Can you guys take a look at my save? I got it from my Pokemon Ruby cart via GBA Backup Tool in my r4 card and I can't load it into any emulator. I have tried other tools like savefile manager and godmode9i but nothing works. PKHex tells me the binary code is not compatible.

Also I'm certain it's not a reproduction cart since I got it completely new, in-box, when I was a kid.

 

Thanks!

Have you tried to start the game with the DS are you using? Just to be sure that the slot-2 works correctly.
Have you tried to use another SD card with your R4 or another SD-to-PC adapter?

In the unlikely case it's a reprodution cart somebody sold you as original back in time, you should try to dump the rom and looking for a save file nested in it with this tool.
