Alright, just got my GBxCart RW 1.4 and dumped the ROM and save file. Seems to work, so the issue really was the Analogue Pocket.

I see. I thought perhaps there was an option in the GUI that I was missing, but I guess not. Strange thing though, I compared a known good save with mine in a hex editor (ImHex) and large parts of the save files are identical. For now, I suppose I have to assume the analogue pocket is just not reading it right or something. I also tried cleaning the cartridge contacts. I will give an update as soon as the duper arrives in a couple of days. Thanks for your help so far!

Sorry, I'm confused. RBY = Red Blue Yellow? For some reason, I thought Red was gen 2... How do you force pkhex to load a corrupted sav?

I forced it to load as a Gen1 save file and it's all garbage. I'm not at all familiar with the save file layout. Is Gen 1 similar enough to Gen 2 that what you tried should work? If the answer is yes, then I suppose the analogue pocket is just not reading the save game correctly or something. Will try with the dumper in a few days when it arrives.

Hi, I have a (I think) original Gen 2 Pokémon Red German Cartridge, which I executed several glitches on several years ago. The cartridge works fine and loads the save game without issues. However, when I dumped a .sav with my analogue pocket, that .sav did not work in an emulator (tried BGB and SameBoy), and PKHeX doesn't want to open it either. By that, I mean, the emulator loads the game just fine until the title screen, and then the game tells me that the save file is corrupt. As far as I can tell, the .sav has exactly the correct size. Is there anything I can do, or can anyone help me? I just ordered a GBxCart RW 1.4, to check if maybe the analogue pocket is the culprit, but I honestly don't think so because I have successfully extracted save games from other cartridges this way before. Thanks! Pokemon - Rote Edition (Germany).sav
