hello i think this question is offtopic, but i would like to know if there is a tool i can put on my r4 to extract the saves of my pokemon cartridges (original this time) without having to modify my nintendo ds lite, i've seen one around and mentioned in this forum by someone, that is nds savegame manager but i can't get it to work and i don't want to modify my nintendo. I also have a 2ds but I don't want to modify that too if you could tell me if there is a method or do I have to go modding. Thanks again for your availability.

OK I'll take a look

yes but I need it later if I want to transfer them to home

thank you very much it's fine now the only problem is that I can't make the shiny legal with PKHeX as I can't get the autolegacy plugin to work

update. done I managed to do it I renamed the .bak file to .bin and inserted it into the flesh card and then inserted it into the cartridge which is now working again, now I need to figure out how I can put the pokemon legality plugin I edit but otherwise everything is fine thank you very much

and how can I get the cartridge restored? it no longer gives me any signal

I screwed up and the cartridge won't start...

sorry either I am incapable or I am strongly so, I followed the picture you attached carefully when I do ‘inject’ and put the attached save and start it tells me it's done but on my desktop it gives me two .bak and .gba files the .bin doesn't give it to me.

okok excuse me now I see, and no I understood that the gba backup and GBABF are different

the GBABF works for me I repeat the problem is to insert the modified save with PKHeX inside my cartridge what I can not do, because it gives me the save before the changes made on PKHex despite if that save I insert in an emulator it gives me the changes made on PKHeX. I repeat my problem is INSERTING THE MODIFIED SAVE FROM PKHEX THROUGH GBA BACKUP TOOLS, the result it gives me is a file with 0 modifications despite I do the correct step to import the modified save into my cartridge. I hope I've got it explained now if not I'll try to make a video. here is the video

yes I followed the tutorial you provided and it gets me to extract the .sav file it doesn't give me any GBABF errors in using it the only problem it gives me is that the modified file doesn't get me to insert it into the bootleg cartridge i.e. it gets me to insert it, I load it into GBA Backup Tool, go into the software I select the .sav to insert it into, it loads it for me, however when I access the game it gives me the unmodified save as if I never extracted it.

so as far as PKHeX is concerned i don't know why but i can't legally put shiny (for some reason i can't install the autolegaci plugin) as far as the .sa is concerned i can't get it to work even though i import the save but it always gives me the initial save the unmodified one i've also tried replacing it and making it .gba but it doesn't do anything with gbatool it doesn't let me import any modification i can't understand the problem.

I've been trying for hours but I can't import and replace the old save with the modified one

lie I don't know why but it won't let me insert the modified file....

I thank you since I'm taking the plunge, I wanted to make treeko shiny but for some reason on my PKHeX I can't insert the autolegal plugin and as a result everything becomes illegal can you help me?

i finally managed to put my save on PKHeX using the software here i managed to put the save file in as well and now everything is fine, thanks for your interest and yes i guess i was scammed but i paid about 5 euro a cartridge (i got the whole gen 3)

So I looked into the origins of the cartridge and it is not an original but a bootleg (the guy who gave it to me said that he had removed the battery problem of old cartridges and made it work permanently), so if I use the GBA Backup Tool it gives me the dump and not the .save, right? so now my question is: can I still extract the saves from this cartridge and then use it PKHeX or not?

I use the GBA Backup tool to extract the data but I don't understand then why it extracts the dump and not the saves should I maybe change the tool? and then how can I clean the cartridge? I can't understand this

Ciao, ho problemi a modificare il file di salvataggio estratto da una cartuccia GBA tramite un R4 sul mio DS di Pokemon Smeraldo. Mi dà questo errore (allego foto) che indica che il file non è supportato, che la versione del mio PKHeX è diversa (aggiornata all'ultima versione) e che la dimensione del file è di 131072 byte (0x20000). Ho visto nel forum che molti hanno avuto il mio stesso problema e che alcuni lo hanno risolto tramite un editor esadecimale, quindi vorrei capire perché mi dà questo errore nonostante il salvataggio sia preso da una cartuccia fisica e non da una ROM. Allego il file di salvataggio per aiutare a capire meglio l'errore che mi dà PKHeX. Grazie in anticipo. Hello, I am having trouble editing the save file extracted from a GBA cartridge via an R4 on my DS of Pokemon Emerald. It gives me this error (I attach a photo) that indicates that the file is not supported, that my PKHeX version is different (updated to the latest version) and that the file size is 131072 bytes (0x20000). I saw in the forum that many have had the same problem as me and that some have solved it using a hex editor, so I would like to understand why it gives me this error despite the save being taken from a physical cartridge and not from a ROM. I attach the save file to help better understand the error that PKHeX gives me. Thanks in advance. POKEMON_EMER_BPEI00.sav
