Hi all! I am currently having problems with editing with PkHex/Hax. Yesterday I have tried browsing this site to know if anyone had the same issue, but none of the solutions (which worked for other users) worked for me.
ROM: Pokemon Blaze Black 2 Redux v 1.4.1
Desmume: v 0.9.13_x64
Editor: PkHax (a Reddit user suggested not using PkHex for fanmade hack roms).
Other general informations that may help: I am 13 minutes into the game, just gotten my Snivy, so not in the tutorial anymore. Snivy is boxed.
So, I normally save in-game, then reset to make sure the "Battery" folder has a clean .DSV save, then I copy the .DSV save into another folder, rename it .SAV, and open it with PkHax. The Snivy (boxed) appears on the left, I click "view", I change its gender from male to female, I click "set" to save the editing, and then export the file as a .SAV.
When I try to import the .SAV, the "File data size cannot be reliably determined from the file you're importing".
1) I tried selecting the first option, but the game restarts, I continue the in-game save (as in a normal NDS, to be clear), but the Snivy is still male.
2) I tried selecting the second option, and the same happens.
3) I tried the manual option, and the game restarts, and "NEW GAME" is the only option.
Second; I also tried converting the edited .SAV to a .DSV file, put in the same folder as the Desmume. The Desmume reads it automatically when I open the ROM, but can't read the editing.
However, if I re-upload the edited .SAV file into the PkHax, the PkHax box has my Snivy correctly gender-swapped. It's like the file has been edited, but Desmume cannot read the editing.
Anyone has any idea what could be happening here? I also tried browsing around to see if PkHax/Hex aren't compatible with Blaze Black 2 Redux, but from the various comments and posts it seems that this is not the case, and I am sure I am doing something wrong.
Thank you in advance for your help!
