PKHEX will not load .sav files

[Ian C]

I have an Anbernic RG40XXH and three .sav files, leaf green, fire red, and emerald. PKHEX will load the leaf green .sav but not the fire red or emerald. I get an error saying they are not correct file types.

Ensure you are properly saving in game, and that your game progress is saved to the save file.

Yep, I save them all using the in game save. I can open all three on the anbernic and emulators on my PC.

Post the files or try them in another save editor.

They all function on my Anbernic just fine, no glitches, the in game save works, they all load. I don't know if it's related but I'm new to emulators so I'll include it. When I load all three saves on my PC emulator the in game save gets stuck at "Saving, do not turn off" for 15-20 minutes, then the game crashes.

The save files are incorrectly set up in whatever emulation software you have, as they are failing to save the latter half of the savedata (e.g. it saves them as 128KB files like it should, but they're treated as 64KB instead).

 

Using the Force Load SAV feature within PKHeX, they open just fine:

 

Use the Recovery tool: projectpokemon/RecoverSaveGen3: Try and recover a Gen3 save file via console app!

That should reformat your save file to the proper arrangement.

Where do I go to actually download the app? I know I'm very new to all of this, but I can only find the web version which is very limited in what it can do.

Easily findable with a google search or the navigation bar at the top of this site.

Yeah, I saw that right after I submitted the last comment. I think I've got it from here, I really appreciate the help.
