It's working again! Loaded in PKHeX, and the exported save was recognised correctly on the 3DS itself again. Thanks a million for the help, @Dybala and @Kaphotics!

Hi @Dybala, is this attached file including the fix suggested by @Kaphotics? Then I'll try this evening! Otherwise I'll try to fix it myself with a hex editor.

I'm gonna try that this evening, but I'm not sure that's it: the main-file loads in PKSM, but not in PKHeX (same error as when I tried to load the sav-file). And I got the message that my save data was corrupted before I did anything on the SD card. But thanks for you help anyway, and maybe it will work nonetheless! I can probably use Checkpoint best to restore the file then, after creating clean save data? Sorry for all the questions, quite new at this

Thanks, that's now clear to me! And I've located the main-file, attached. @Dybala looked into that file, and saw it didn't appear to be seriously damaged, but couldn't find/fix the problem why it isn't recognized by the game anymore (it does load in PKSM). Would you be willing to take a look for a second opinion? main

@Kaphotics, I see your name popping up a lot in other topics where people have similar problems - would you be willing to take a look? Would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm, that's a pity, since I've only discovered PKSM and the options for back-up in general after the initial corruption I have a hunch that maybe it's got something to do with the internal clock: when I started the game, I noticed the 3DS was set to some twenty years in the future. I've corrected this in the settings and started a new save, but I still see that the sav-file has a "last edited" data somewhere in 2047 - not sure if this has any effect on the corruption though. Thanks for your help anyway, and maybe someone else would be willing to take a look. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll just have to accept the loss and start a fresh save - including my newly-discoverd back-up tooling.

What do you mean by "old one"? The sav-file is the one I found in the designated folder on the SD-card - it's my first time working with these kind of files, didn't know what the expected file size had to be. Attached in this reply is the main-file PKSM created as a backup, is that any help? Already big thanks for looking into this by the way! main

Hi everyone, I've recently dusted of my 3DS and started playing a digital copy of Omega Ruby. About 15 hours in, I was unpleasantly suprised by the 'Your save data is corrupted'-screen whilst booting up - can't recall anything weird happening during the last save. I've been trying to see how far I could get in recovering the file, and what gives me hope is that it does load in PKSM on the 3DS itself, showing the correct data (Dex, boxes, badges, etc.). However: trying to open it on my computer in PKHex gives the following error: I've now kinda reached the edges of my own capabilities/know-how in these matters, I think So if anyone could take a look at the file and see what could be wrong, that would be greatly appreciated! 00000001.sav
