Does PKHex support Scarlet/Violet 4.0.0? Cannot load saves from either version - "Attempted to load an unsupported file type/size"

[magiccoupons]

Trying to load a 4.0.0 save file from Pokemon Scarlet. Bear in mind I have added x990 items via Edizon cheats etc but I have since turned those off to see if they were causing the issue. Then got an error about unable to load due to unsupported file type/size.

I traded between my Switch and Switch 2 legitimately the pokemon I want to edit on PKHex to Violet, also version 4.0.0.
I then tried to load said 4.0.0 save file from my Pokemon Violet where I'm very early on in the game but it gave the same error, see below.

Attempted to load an unsupported file type/size. This could 
be caused by loading a different generation Pokemon file on 
an unsupported generation or your file is corrupt. 
File Loaded:

I tried looking all over the site about whether PKHex supports 4.0.0 for SV? I'm about to start a fresh new Violet save and see if that can get loaded.

Attached is the violet save in question.

EDIT - just started a fresh Violet save no hacks no mods nothing, doesn't load in PKHex. I can only assume that PKHex doesn't work with 4.0.0 saves?

Hash isn't valid, assuming you transferred via FTP, fix your setting to force Binary transfer -- not ASCII/text.

Perfect you were totally right, I did transfer over FTP via Filezilla. Binary has been selected now to force that from now on. Thanks a lot!

How did you generate the hash and validate btw, may I ask?

Gen8+ save files have a hash at the bottom of the file. Ignoring the file size. I ran PKHeX under a debugger and manually called the hash verification function to observe the result. 

The program rejects on invalid size or invalid hash, your save file failed both.

Hello, I'm getting the exact same problem, but its happening to me on PC, I'm using the Eden emulator.

I'm guessing my main file failed the size test?

Try again with a save file that originated from your Nintendo Switch. PKHeX does not support ROM hacks, and it does not support emulator misbehavior save files.
