Bashfulpig Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I The pkhex i am downloading has no arrow beside the export sav, so i can neither export the main or the backup. The version on my old pc works and has the arrow and it works perfectly. Please tell me what i am doing wrong. It will only allow me to export the save as all files or a savpt. Very confused and would love some assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous_oatmeal3 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Looks like this when I mouse over it - export main is simply not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poke J Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 @Bashfulpig @dangerous_oatmeal3 “Export SAV…” will also export a main file for gen 6 onwards. A main file is just a type of save file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous_oatmeal3 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 in my case its a gen 3 game. let me assure you the file it generates is not a useable .sav file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so try remaining the file from PKHeX as main without the .sav extension. If that doesn’t work mind uploading the original save file and the one from PKHeX?

dangerous_oatmeal3 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 No it was a .sav when it was imported. You can see this in the image I uploaded. If you look at any pk hex tutorial on youtube you will see the export main function i am describing and when people click it - it exports an edited .sav just like you would expect. If you google something along the line of "cannot export pkhex" you will find several instances of people describing this problem. Also the OP mentions how its there on his old PC but not on his new one. This seems to be the core issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous_oatmeal3 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Okay I figured it out. You have to manually type in .sav when you are saving the new file. Also make sure you've extracted the ROM into it's own folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrius97 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) I can't recreate the issue. I loaded my Ruby save, changed something, and selected Export SAV. It exported my savefile perfectly. If you want to resolve this, you need to explain in detail what's happening, provide any error messages, even a video clip would help. The devs can't fix it if they can't reproduce the error. Edited November 3, 2022 by Atrius97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashfulpig Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 So i can save the changes i have made in pkhex and manually make the file a .sav. But whenever i try importing the new save into the game i get an error saying that the file didnt load properly. I have never had this happen before. Im playing platinum. Okay i dont know what i did but it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
