Can I still save my Heart Gold save file??

[El Dimentio]

My file got corrupted after using PPSE-DS and I couldn't even access it (read or write to it!) in Windows so I used chkdsk and it managed to save it as 256kb. I thought it was doomed but I opened it in Pokesav and it opened with everything perfectly as I had left it the last time I played (right before the E4) ! But when I put it on the DS, the game will tell me it is corrupt and won't load it!! :frown:

Is there anything that can be done besides starting a whole new game? (I do have a backup but it's from like, the 4th gym... )

I'll attach a zip with both, the 256kb sav file and a 512kb one I got from Pokesav.

savs.rar

one thing you could do is start a new game, play through till you get your starter, then copy everything in the old one via pokesav to the new one, just dont touch the number of pokemon in party option

I think I can't do that well enough because of all the items and badges I won't be able to transfer (at least the items would need to be done manually...)

Anybody can share a Heart Gold save file that already has all 8 badges and the Ho-Oh/Kimono events done but the Elite Four still unbeaten? I would really appreciate it!

If you are still stuck on this,

You could try the Sav converter located on

http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php#

Choose the option to convert to the Acekard | EZ Flash V | RAW Format | Force 512kb (.sav) option

and that should get it back to all it's original glory.
