Problem loading saves after PkHeX manipulation

[4Playerable]

Hello everyone,

I already addressed my following problem in the Miyoo-Mini-Reddit-Forum, but nobody could help me. As there are many PkHeX experts here, I would like to address my question here as well, in the hope that someone might be able to help me, as I really don't know what to do anymore. I hope it's ok if I post my Reddit question here too. I would be infinitely grateful for any advice that brings me one step closer to my goal.

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a solution to my Miyoo Mini Plus problem for three days now and have already read numerous comments here, but none of them have been able to help solve my problem.

I want to change the mGBA save from Pokémon Emerald to PkHeX. To do this, I go to “Saves” > “Current Profile” > “saves” > “mGBA” > “Pokémon - Emerald Edition.srm” and load the .srm file into PkHeX. This works fine. I can add both new items and Pokémon in PkHeX. After I have made all the desired changes, I export the file to exactly the same location as the .srm file. The new file has the exact same name (“Pokémon - Emerald Edition.srm”). However, as soon as I put my SD card back into my Miyoo Mini Plus and start Pokémon Emerald, I cannot load a save file in the start menu. Instead, I am only told that I can start a new game. I can only load older save states via quick saves.

Of course, I made a backup beforehand, so the save data is not the problem. What bothers me more is that I can't load the modified save, as I'm trying to complete the game as fully as possible and some event items can't be obtained anymore.

I have already done a bit of troubleshooting:

- I disabled “Savestate Compression” in Retroarch and saved the game in PkHeX before loading it, so that no compression problem occurs.

-I activated the event function in Pokémon-Emerald ingame via the Poké Mart.

- After saving, I used PkHeX to check whether the file was functional. PkHeX has no problem opening the file and the changes are included in the new file.

However, once I put the SD card in the Miyoo Mini Plus and start playing Pokémon Emerald, PkHeX can no longer open the save file.

Has anyone had exactly the same problem? I have practically searched the whole internet and am more than at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
