Error with reading Pokemon Red save file

[CrazySpike]

I have run into an issue recently where my save file on my GB Pokemon Red lost its save file and when I went to reload it with a previous backup, the save file I used didn't work. I checked another backup I made farther back and it worked but not this one. I tried to see if I could get it working using PKHeX but it gives me the error: File is uninitialized (all OxFF). Please ensure it was properly saved. I created the save files using Hero Builders. Someone, please help!

The error message told you what the issue is. There is no data in your file.

What do you mean that theres is no data in the file, i have the same problem

It means exactly what it says. If you open it in a hex editor to see what data is inside, it'll all be the same values over and over until the end of the file. It's like a word document filled with F. Is there an essay in the document? No, it's just repeating F's.

What causes the save data to be empty? For Gen1/2 cartridges, the battery keeps the save file "alive", and when it dies, the data resets back to a default state. For later generations, they don't need a battery to retain data, but if you never save in-game to flush your progress to the save file (like using save states exclusively), then you'll never update your save data from the initial values it had.

PKHeX is telling you "Please ensure it was properly saved". So, did you properly save your game?

I am also having trouble opening my save file as well. Any tips or pointers to help me out? Also how do you upload the save back to the retron 5?
