Binary is not compatible with save file Gen: 1

[NezumiMouse]

I tried to edit a save file from Pokemon Red, I extracted it from a cartridge using FlashGBX and everytime I try to inser the save in PKHex, the message of "Binary is not compatible with save file." appears, any idea or some help pls?

Not a valid dump.

You can confirm it doesn't work by seeing it your save file loads in an emulator, or if other save editors don't load your file.

The VBA Emulator can load it, that's why for me is a bit strange that PKHex can't

I tried VBA but your save file did not have anything available at the Continue menu, only New Game.

That's weird, on my case let me load... maybe it's the rom? and now that I think about it, when I load from battery, the archive is .sa1, but it's the SAME save data, and now let me use the PKHex, but this is weird... I mean... I can... insert the ".sa1" on the cartridge even when the cartridge have a ".sav" data?, and also, something I noticed, at least using the ROM and the save data (It doesn't matter if is the SAV one or the SA1 one) if I try to save in game, the game just keep saving infinitely, and I don't have any other Pokemon Red rom (The one I have is extracted from the cartridge)

I'm under the impression your cart is fake, and stores saves differently than original ones.

Maybe it stoers the save data within the rom data or something. That would explain the invalid save file, and us being unable to load it either in PKHeX or the emulator.

The emulator may still create a valid battery save file when used. Unsure if you can restore battery save files to the cartridge though, if it's fake.

But can I use it on the cart? I guess I can try, is not like I lose anything unless mess up the whole cartridge or there is not a way to change the extension? so, modify the ".sa1" and then turn it into a ".sav"?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I discovered that just as you said, stores the save data on the rom, that's why the save files I sended didn't contain any save, I re-extracted the ROM again after playing some more time, and yes, the ROM loaded the new spot... well, it seems that I can't modify the save, but anyways, thank you all for the help.
