Pokémon arceus load save help

[Jxcruz]

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I’m having trouble with the loading of the saved edited game. I have Pokémon legend arceus . 
 

I back up the game using JKSV 

then use pkhex and drag the “main” file. I’m assuming this is my saved file for the game . 

I then make my edits. I click File > export SAV > load Sd back into switch and boot up the game. 
 

nothing happens, am I missing a step. Please someone help me out ?

Yes main is your save file. Export the edited save from PKHeX back into the folder with your save (after you’ve backed up the Unedited save). 
 

how do you know it’s not working? Changes weren’t there?

Also, do you happen to have Sysnand or Emunand?

Im using an actual switch with homebrew. 
I know it’s not working because the only thing I did was added money first.

I also noticed, when I try to “export SaV”

I don’t see the 2 options for “export SAV”that are on the tutorial. I don’t see EXPORT MAIN or EXPORT BACKUP. Not sure if this important or what not. 
 

if someone could give me details on how to edit saved files. I would really appreciate it

Tutorials age as programs change, but the options to export your save file are still there. Maybe in a different spot for exporting backup.

Be sure to import your save data correctly; after you put it on your SD card, you still have to import it with homebrew the same way you exported it.

With JKSV, I’m supposed to restore the file correct? When I do that, another file shows with my name and date/time. Is this normal? 

[theSLAYER]

Sounds like JKSV performed an auto backup for you. That’s normal.
