Kaphotics Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 That's not a valid save file. Export it correctly from your console using homebrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebeeeee Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 what do you mean it's not valid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It means exactly that. It's not a save file format that PKHeX can recognize, therefore it rejects it. Export your save file from your console/cartridge correctly, with homebrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebeeeee Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 ok i'll try homebrew but i thought PKHeX could recognise .sav files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamosIT Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Where did this file come from? A valid Pokémon Y save file should be a file named "main" (without extension), with the size of 405KB. In actual hardware (3DS/2DS with game cartridge or digital copy) a save file must be extracted AND DECRYPTED using a Homebrew save-manager, like Checkpoint (little guide here). This assumes that you have a complete CFW setup on your 3DS console (complete guide here). If you are using Citra you should take a look here.

Kaphotics Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well, if you dumped your ROM to play it on a flashcart, then you have access to homebrew and the original cartridge. Flashcart-specific dumps that are not decrypted are not usable in any program like PKHeX. You need to decrypt the file, which is unrelated to PKHeX (and this site).

I think the Sky3DS has a dock for dumping the games so this might not be true depending on how good their dumper is compared to a CFW 3DS. 4 hours ago, Sebeeeee said: I will try even though i have no idea if my 3ds as a cfw How did you dump your game? If you used your 3DS to get it then you should have CFW but if you used their dumper then you would need to get access to a CFW 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebeeeee Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 isn't there a decryption app to download directly on a pc? would be easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
