Help with recovering Crystal Save data?

[Arkhe]

Hello!

So earlier in the year, I was trying to save my Crystal team to move to the 3DS then to Home and even did the eShop downloads. Unfortunately, I'm just not tech-savvy enough to get past the first hurdle; PKHex claims my save file's corrupted. I know I was able to extract the Crystal rom, but the battery has died since, so my last hope are these 2 saves.

Would anyone be able to verify if any mon are salvageable on my Crystal saves?

Both attachments are junk.

Open them in a hex editor; contents are not a save file.

Heartbreak, but not unexpected.

Thanks for helping me out! I really appreciate it!
