So I made a new save in Fire red. The cart is real. It is my childhood copy and I have never had any issues with it before. 

I backed up the save file using a Flash Boy, but it will not load into PKHex. My leaf green copy loads up just fine as do my other cartridges. 

I'm not sure what I'm missing. But I am concerned my cart might be bootleg after all? I opened the cart and looked at the chips and it all seems to be correct. 

The game seems to save properly on cart.

I am getting this error message about the flash memory... is the chip broken somehow? I cant seem to import other saves over it because of this. Is my cart bootleg after all? Or something else?

Any help is very much appreciated!

@mrtylersquaredhave you tried to dump the save again? How far did you make it into the save before you tried to dump the save? Because right now the save block index order is 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 which the expected for your save would have the save block have the following order 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The long short of the block order is blocks 0-13 need to be present to be a valid save and they rotate by 1 each time you save so that is why block 8 is the first block which is normal. However, in you dump blocks 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 are missing and multiple blocks are repeating. In order for a save to be valid all 14 blocks need to be present in a rotating numerical order. So my suggestion is since it is a new save file is to make sure that the save does load on the cart, save 2 times in game, and then try to dump the save again. In terms of the cart itself it looks like all of the images of a FireRed cart board that I can find online so I believe its a real cart.
