Hi there!
Context; I am currently attempting to edit a save file for a custom rom hack I made via HG-Engine. No major changes, just changing gym leaders/elite 4/champion to have custom parties and allowing pkmn up to X/Y gen. I ensured I followed the instructions within hg engine to maximise compatibility (commenting out allow_save_changes).
When attempting to take my save file (raw save from Desmume export, 512kb) and pop it into PKHeX, I get this:
Attempting to use the .dsv from the Battery folder of Desmume produces this error:
I have done a few hours of reading through these forums to see the common issues/answers and can't quite come to a conclusion as to where my issue lies. In the save, I have got the Pokedex, returned the egg, done two trainer battles, accessed the PC and saved in-game more than twice.
I have opened the .sav in notepad++ to see if data was present and, while it's completely unintelligible to me, there is stuff there.
Am I to assume I have kind of borked it and the ROM will not be compatible with PKHaX in any form? I was just looking to add 999 rare candys, max repels and money. Potentially add a bunch of "vanilla" 'mon to boxes at lvl1.
I will attach the save file. I can attach the ROM also but won't on first post just in case it is against the rules.
Apologies for my long post, I wanted to give as much info as possible and measure I'd taken. I'm hoping someone might be able to help!
