Gillilulz Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hi everyone. So, long story short, I had one little server which I forgot about, hosting some pokemon saves. The server has been hacked by Chekmate ransomware and, while I had a backup of most of the files there, there is one ITA Soul Siver save for which I didn't have a copy. I have been trying to recover it manually and making it playable (the PC box was surprisingly intact after the encryption). I removed some trash bytes here and there and PkHex is able to open it again and no tab displays errors of any sort. I can even successfully import the save in DesMume: However, when I try to continue, the games hangs on a black screen and DesMume laments of an usupported instraction: The emulator is not the problem because I imported with the same settings another save and it correctly proceeds to continue the adventure; probably there are still some things to clean but I don't know what to check. If somebody knows about any solution it would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! checkmatedSS.sav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSLAYER Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I think your best bet is to use hex editing to transfer anything important (such as mons, party, trainer data) to overwrite a fresh save. It isn’t good easy to find what is or isn’t wrong with a file, especially with something you’ve basically cobbled back together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
