Need help validating Pokemon Red save integrity on pkHEX

[archr]

hello ,

Having issue with installing pokeHEX on my mac and I won't be able to get my hands on a windows machine until a couple weeks.

Would someone be kind enough to check the attached save in pkHEX for me and let me know how it goes ?

For context this .sav file was generated via the GB Operator (just when I received it so i dont have any other .sav for that specific run) and after doing that initial backup the 'Continue' option is gone from the opening menu and loading that initial save back to the cartridge gives me the same result.

I sent the file to a friend of mine who also has the GB Operator and a cartridge with cleaned pins and new battery and he can't load it as well.

In return he sent me one of his save and I'm able to load it to my cartridge without any issue.

This does not look good at all and I'm almost sure this save is somewhat corrupted or even blank.

Thanks in advance!

Not a valid dump; I don't think there's any save data in whatever you ripped.

thanks for taking a look!
