First of all, "currently, Pokesav only works for Diamond and Pearl and Pokesav for Platinum only works for Platinum." I *am* using the Platinum Pokesav for my Platinum emulator.
I should mention this as well. I tried using a previous No$gba DS emulator. When I would open the cheats menu and simply close out of it again without even adding any cheats, the program would crash every time. So, I downloaded a second No$gba emulator which is the one I am currently using. This program does not crash like the last one.
Now, I do all as described here under "Using Action Replay Codes (with an Action Replay DS or Nitro Hax)," though it only mentioned "run[ning] the codes with Pokemon Diamond or Pearl." Like I said, I am using Pokemon Platinum as well as the correct Pokesav program for this ROM. I do as instructed even though it only mentions Diamond and Pearl. I manually copy the code from the XML file and paste it into the No$GBA DS Emulator cheat list, but once I hit the final "okay," which would normally execute the code, the program crashes. The *only* thing I am attempting to do is *create* a Pokemon for the second slot in my party. My game file on my ROM is fresh, meaning I just started a game, so the only Pokemon I have is a starter in slot one. Thus, I create a Pokemon for slot two in the Pokesav, then do as directed in the given link. I only created it, I did not alter anything. The game crashes when I try to execute the code given in the XML file.
I figure that either the No$gba emulator I am using cannot handle it or I am not following the instructions for Platinum, and the instructions I was following were in fact only for Diamond/Pearl.
If your emulator for Pokemon Platinum is working with the Action Replay codes, please link me to the download for it. Hopefully, that will solve the problem. Otherwise, I need someone to walk me through how to use the Pokesav with Pokemon Platinum without the emulator crashing. Thanks in advance.
