Pokemon Ruby "Save has been deleted"

[cata23]

Hello guys!

I was playing Ruby, doing the tower battle and by mistake I restarted my console (R36s).

When I booted the game again, I realised I wanted to check something on my Sapphire save and closed just as I was going to battle in the battle tower.

Next time I booted Ruby, it said my save game has been deleted. Could anyone please help me with recovering the save?

PKHeX says it's corrupt, I tried RecoverGen3 but I don't think I am using it properly

I would be extremely grateful. Thank you!

Thank you so very much! It's now working, it lost maybe the last 30 minutes of progress, but that's completely fine!

On what OS did you run RecoverGen3? I tried both on MacOS and Win7, both with .net 10 installed and had no success.

Win11; it's just a console app you drop the file on and it exports a fixed file for you. Without knowing the exact error message/trace you had, dunno what is wrong with your side since it doesn't use any operating-system specific things (just a console app and no windows-DLL function calls)
