PKHeX Error when trying to open Emerald Save

[antokilg]

Hi,

I am getting an error when trying to open an Emerald Save File on PKHeX. I made the Save File using GBA Backup Tool on my R4. It is legit copy of Emerald.

I plug my sd card into my sd card reader, usb then PC. I am navigating to the .SAV file on the USB when I click open on PKHeX.

This is the error I get on PKHeX:

Unable to load file. It could be in use by another program.E:\GBA_Backup\POKEMON_EMER_BPEE00.SAV

Full Error Report below:

User Message:
Unable to load file. It could be in use by another program.E:\GBA_Backup\POKEMON_EMER_BPEE00.SAV
 

 

I also tried to copy and save the .SAV file to another location on my PC in case that was the issue. However, I get another error - Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. I scan and repair the drive which ends up emptying my GBA_Backup folder of the .SAV file which seems to indicate that there is a problem with it. I repeat the whole process on my DS to make a new .SAV file etc. but the same thing happens each time, same errors, scan and repair, deletes the .SAV file.

 

Does anyone have any advice for me on this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not an issue with PKHeX; the program needs to be able to read your save file data.

If you are having issues trying to open it from one storage location, you need to try copying it somewhere accessible. Seeing an operating system error (0x80070570) outside of PKHeX should indicate that it's unrelated to PKHeX.

Thanks for confirming it is not a PKHeX issue.

It must be an issue with my SD Card then. I will look into it.
