Input file is to large.

[Ghast]

I know that there's a forum from a while ago on this and I already read through it. None of what's there helps me. I just downloaded PKHeX, it doesn't matter what game file it is I cannot open any file in the application. I have a file for Pokemon Heartgold, Black 2, X, and Y, they all say "Input file is to large." Also the pokemon Y file has been redownloaded to try a brand new file, still didn't work.

The savefile must be a properly exported savefile. Savestates cannot be used with PKHeX, and some emulators may also produce files of the incorrect size or format.
Moving files using FTP can also cause corruption if the FTP client is not set to Binary mode, as ASCII mode will alter the data.

OH! I was using save states from the emulator I'm using, that makes a lot of sense idk why I didn't think of that. Thank you, it works now lol.
