So, after realigning based around the rival`s name, I came up with bytes 114000-11BFFF as containing the save file. I extracted this section, saved as a .sav file and loaded it against my legit ROM with VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2 and it worked! The save file`s blank spaces look nothing alike, but it still operates. I imagine that data isn`t read by normal game play until it`s been overwritten later. I will let y`all know if I run into problems later. Thank you so much theSLAYER for your tip on how I can align the two save files!
