Please Help me,
I bought a tool to store my save file of Pokemon Crystal (Italian version: I'm Italian, sorry for my bad English ) with more of 400 hours of game, but it is too late: the battery was drained and the file save was damaged.
Searching online I saw that is possibile to recover data using different software or tool, so I tried different solutions.
This is the result:
Using of PKX Delta v4.5
Using this software, opened the .sav file and I obtained this:
Even if some glitches are present, the Pokemons, ASH and objects are there!
So I tried to save this .sav file obtained by PKX Delta but it wasn't works loading it with emulator.
After I opened always the original game file .sav with an other save editor: PikaSav. Initially I obtained an error, that I fixed "forcing" the load of the sav file, in fact there is the possibility, using this software, to load it with the option: "force .SAV file".
I obtained this
My old Pokemon are still there! So I saved this file, and then I tried again to load this new .sav file with the emulator.
Now there is the possibility to select the "Continue " tag. Selected this tag, the game tell me to set the day and hour.
The game starts, I see Ash and Pokemon centre, I'm the happiest boy in the word, but only for just one second, because after this, all the screen presents a lot of glitch and after, the screen become white, sound stop, and I can't do anything. I tried to open start menu but it wasn't worked.
At this point, after crying, I saw online that is possible to edit .sav file using hex editor.
I tried to search how to modify it, but I don't know from where to begin, please could you help me?
Below an image go the .sav file opened using hex editor (notepad++) and I attach the original .sav file, before to modify it using PikaSav.
I don't know if I could attach also the Italian ROM, if I could do it please tell me this, in mode to help you to help me
