Hey @Kaphotics, my oras file was corrupted yesterday as well I found this thread and hacked my 3ds just to dump my save in the file below.
PKHex won't open my file either, but I have tried to compare it with a normal save with a hex editor like you said earlier and it seems like it is not nonsense?
Is there any way you could take a look for me please? You would make a Pokemon and 3ds newbie very happy and much less dead inside :))
info that might help: game was played on a Japanese cart with the native English language option, game was ORuby, starter was a grovyle
Just in case you could have a look for me in the off chance, thank you times a million
