@BlackShark I've got another Emerald RTC problem oddity for your consideration: Recently upgraded an Emerald to a battery socket; board is pristine, battery is Panasonic, socket seems fine. Did a quick test to make sure the dry battery message was gone and then got out my flashcard to reset the RTC. If you've ever used the home-brew tool you'll know that it takes a couple of tries to get it right. After the first try I found I got the dry battery message back. I equated this to an improper solder connection, or the socket not making good contact. I redid the solder job and this was fixed again. Now however the GBA RTCReset tool won't work, and always says 'Power Flag Raised - Battery probably bad'. I check the clock in little root and the most bizarre thing happens: It shows a time of 12:00AM for a moment, then quickly changes to 10:57PM. Leaving the room and coming back results in the same effect. The clock is noticeably not progressing...have waited an extended period of time. Have tried the reset flags in PKHeX and Days passed as other posts have done, but it's literally the same time every time with the same behavior. Saw other another post on GBATemp saying to reset the PKHeX flags and use the hidden time set tool at the start screen...but that seems to be only for Ruby/Sapphire. Launching that hidden menu opens the Berry Fix Program. Can you please take a look? EDIT: Got the dry battery message again. Took just the battery out and found an enormous amount of flux in the socket, likely preventing contact with the battery. 'No Clean Flux'; if I had seen it I would have cleaned it though. Cleaned and it is now working fine. IMG_5259.MOV POKEMONE.SAV

Umbreon is Frame 0 and Espeon is Frame 7 from the same seed for reference. I am looking at Vaporeon and Jolteon again and they appear to not generate from the same seed. Believe I had the same results on my personal save with Swiss codes. Pokefinder doesn't let you select Vaporeon/Jolteon as they are unofficial. Can I use XD Eevee in Pokefinder for this? But as they don't generate from the same seed, where would the second starter (Jolteon) come from? I am trying to recreate them manually, but it's hard to tell if I ever get it 'right' because PKHeX errors always say 'Uncontributed Mystery Gift'?

So what about Pokefinder? That guide uses RNG Reporter with its own learning curve. To reiterate the original question, nothing produced by Pokefinder for CHANNEL Jirachi is found to be legal in PKHeX. Can Pokefinder be used or not?

Hi there, this may be a release-related bug/feature (could be either tbh) or just coincidence. I replace a lot of batteries on Gen III games and always make a habit of dumping the save (Joey Jr) and verifying checksums prior. I have now seen two games out of the last 5 I've serviced on the new version that is giving me the "Final extra data invalid." checksum error. Was not able to uncover much on this after a basic search. Games load, play, and edit fine. Opening the game inside PKHeX and saving a copy of the save corrects the error in the new file. So very much a non-issue, but still curious. I have NOT taken a look at these in a hex editor yet... Attached are the two saves (both Emerald); can you enlighten me on what this is?

Is there an excel/csv list of all these mews (with the spreads)? Could have sworn I found one before, but not finding it now. Or, is there a way to export the box contents to an excel format?

Thought that was a typo...thanks.

Appreciate the response. I did try using the 20241111 release, and I found the following attached. As you can see, berries and PC items are the only ones that can surpass 99 items, and that is still capped at 999. Default Give Amount is what is shown in the count text box at the bottom of the bag edit window Maximum Entry is what the text edit field restricts for entry on a particular item's quantity Maximum value saved is what PKHeX will actually save after you enter the maximum entry in the item's quantity text edit field and click 'Save' (only key items have a discrepancy). Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Or have to disable some legality checker?

As I have seen by various cheating devices/ACE, it is very possible to have more than 99 items. I don't actually know what the upper ceiling is. What is the ceiling and how can I adjust an items quantity to this amount? Are there any issues with exceeding this arbitrary limit?

It is working again. THANKS! So this value is what is used by the old man...how is it calculated? Why was it not being calculated/updated correctly?

Much appreciated; Counter has reset to 7 days. Will see if it drops to 6 tomorrow.

I have an emerald with a dead battery that I've replaced and I can't seem to properly reset the RTC. I usually use the rtcread homebrew tool via flashcart to set the date and time, and this usually works (reasonably) well. So the following I have tested to be working: the clock in Littleroot is displaying the correct time Events are occurring on the TV Berries are growing normally However, Pacifidlog man quotes a massive number of days before he will give a TM again. In playing with rtcread, I have moved the clock to the last possible date...12/31/2099 23:59:30 (some time to open the game) and the man then states 8 days. Great. So after waiting 30 seconds and the day elapsing it did switch back to 1/1/2000 0:0:0...however the man now says he will get a new TM in 65,227 days...that equates to over 178 years. And considering the RTC cycle for this game only covers 100 years, that number appears theoretically impossible to hit. I have advanced the clock 24 years into the present and the man accurately states that he will get a new TM in about 56,144 days. It almost seems like the timestamp that the last TM was received was corrupted...obtained at an impossible time. Also tried resetting the RTC inside PKHeX but that yielded no new results. Have also tried my save inside an emulator and gotten the same results...what else can I try?

Thanks, I will take a look. So, I am getting an error message when attempting to open the 'Misc Edits' window: Exception Details: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Value of '2409996727' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. (Parameter 'value') Actual value was 2409996727. at System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown.set_Value(Decimal value) at PKHeX.WinForms.SAV_Misc3.<>c__DisplayClass33_0.<LoadRecords>g__LoadRecordID|8(Int32 index) at PKHeX.WinForms.SAV_Misc3.LoadRecords() at PKHeX.WinForms.SAV_Misc3..ctor(SaveFile sav) at PKHeX.WinForms.Controls.SAVEditor.B_OpenMiscEditor_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, WM msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) I can continue or abort, but neither opens the window. I don't know which record this is anyhow; is this another fix that needs to be done in a HxD?

You're doing God's work, thank you. (Why are there 15 downloads for the save??? XD) I thought I did my due diligence researching the error. Apparently not. Can you elaborate on how you re-ordered the blocks? Just copied and pasted chunks inside a hex editor, or what?
