Please Help Me Recover My 19 Year Old Leaf Green Save File

[Lloydman2001]

Hello,

A few years ago I dropped and damaged my Pokemon Leaf Green Cartridge. I accidentally knocked the flash memory chip off the board. I tried resoldering it but ended up making a mess. I just sent it to get repaired professionally and got it back. Although the game atleast now boots up, I receive the message "The Save File Has Been Deleted..." I backed up the save on Epilogue but got the message "Save Integrity Check Failed!," it does not run on the program. I don't know if it even downloaded any save data in the first place or whether there is anything capable of being recovered. I have attached what I believe is the corrupted save file data for anyone to try and figure out if there is anything salvageable. It would mean so much to me if someone could fix this to the best of their ability. I got it back around 2006 when I was about 5 years old. This save file means a lot to me. Thank you.

PKHEX can read your save means the problem is not serious ID BRANDON 03855 59830 I don't have time to experiment if your save can run in the emulator You can try it yourself

I've looked through your save and it looks like it can be salvaged. There are a few Bad Eggs in the PC and one in the your Parties 6th slot. It seems like most of the corruption are in the save sections 0 and 1, with the exception 5 of your party members should be savable. I don't have time now to fix it, but I will try to fix the sections later if no one else fixes it first.

 

Also, it is against the law to share the games ROM on this forum as the site is hosted out of Canada. I suggest removing the ROM from your post.

Thank you for letting me know about that Poke J. I don't see the ROM from when I posted earlier so I assume it's gone.
