Pokemon Emerald Sav says it's corrupt but I can't figure out why

[MagmaMouse]

I've saved it through PKHex and I've put it through RecoverSaveGen3 and still no luck.

The the file with .BROKEN at the end is the original sav before PKHex and RSG3.

If it helps with finding what's wrong with it, this save was done on an EZFlash Air

If the original .BROKEN save still won't load after both PKHeX and RecoverSaveGen3, I'd start by checking whether the EZFlash Air wrote a complete save in the first place. Have you tried opening the original file in another Gen III save tool to see if it reports checksum or save block errors? That could help narrow down whether the issue is corruption or an unsupported save format.

Try this; did some manual fixes and it was able to load the backup save.
