Pokemon Heart Gold .sav not opening on PkHex

[MinDTRiX]

Can someone help me with my game save for Pokemon Heart Gold. I just exported it from my ds to pc, but when I tried to open it on PkHex it keeps saying invalid save file abort. Its a 512 KB .sav file and I am not sure what is happening. I was able to open Pokemon Diamond the same way with no issues, but Heart Gold is having problems. The Heart Gold game is legit 100%.

The size is right but the save is mostly filled with 00 (it's a bad dump). I'm not an expert but try cleaning the cartridge, the slot, try another dumping app or method.
