Once I do that, what’s my next step? At what point do I extract/inject saves?

Yeah so the extraction works perfectly, then I'm able to read it with PkHex and make edits and it exports the save just fine. The curious thing is, if I load the edited save file using an emulator (VBA), it loads the unedited version of the save, but if I load that exact same save back into PKHex, it shows the edits. Clicking inject doesn't seem to work. I'm assuming it's something to do with the cartridge but then again, shouldn't I be able to play in the emulator and see the edits that I exported with PkHex? If you have any ideas or know of a possible solution, let me know. Thanks for the response!

Is there a way to extract and inject save file after editing them in pkhex that does not require an NDS when it comes to repro cartridges? I got a whole collection delivered, reshelled my 20 year old gba, and now i find out I cannot edit the saves and it's driving me crazy.

Hey everyone, I’m running into trouble getting my edits from PKHeX back onto my bootleg Pokémon Leaf Green cartridge and I could really use some guidance. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I used GBFlash to dump the ROM so that the Bootleg GBA Save Extractor and Injector would have a ROM to pair with. The ROM plays fine in VBA. I used the Bootleg GBA Save Extractor and Injector to pull the save file from the cart. PKHeX was able to open it perfectly. I made my edits in PKHeX and exported the save. When I use the injector, it tells me the save was successfully written… but when I boot the game on the cart, it’s just my old save with no edits. So clearly I’m missing a step (or the process for these bootlegs is different). What I’m trying to figure out is: What is the correct workflow for editing and reinjecting saves on these fake GBA carts? Do I need to be using FlasherGBX alongside GBFlash and the Bootleg Save Tool, or should one handle everything? Are there quirks with how bootleg Leaf Green carts store their saves that I need to watch out for (e.g., offsets, different save banks)? Basically, I just want to be able to take the save I edited in PKHeX and actually play it back on the cartridge. Any step-by-step instructions or tips from people who have done this before would be massively appreciated. Here's my game's info from FlashGBX Thanks in advance!
