my Pokemon white file wont load into PKHeX

[Masterofcorn]

I have had no trouble with  RSE, FRLG, HGSS, DPPt, but Black and White won't work

When I import a Pokémon, black or white .dsv or .sav this is what pops up. I extract the file straight from the game and put it on my desktop and then send it to PK Hanks, but this pops up, I do the exact same thing with all my other games and have no problems except for with this.

Emulator issue where it doesn't completely reset the savedata when you change from Gen4 emulation to a brand new Gen5 game, in that it retains your Gen4 savedata. Your first save in Gen5 has only overwritten one half of the save data.

Save again in-game.

I did when I think you meant, I opened back up the game in my emulator emulator, i saved that game 3 times back to back, and put in the .dsv, but I loaded it it with the same issue, i am useing Delta emulator on iOS if that helps with anything.

I've used a hex editor to invalidate the HGSS section of the save data that was erroneously retained by the emulator.

(offset 0x40000 + GeneralSize, invalidate the previous 0xC bytes by arbitrarily replacing bytes with something else so it doesn't match a Gen4 save block footer).

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it.

Is it possible to dumb down the hex edit portion as I’m having the same issue with my W and W2 saves from Delta to PKHeX. ChatGPT is explaining but I’m not technically minded enough to figure it out.
