Hi everyone,
I've spent countless hours trying to fix my Leaf Green run but haven't found a working solution yet. I got my RG353V and started a Leaf Green playthrough straight out of the box (The only tweak I've done was moved everything to a trusted SD card). At the time I wasn't aware of the issues with the ROM that comes with the console but got over the SS Anne issue using a walk through walls workaround. Since the ROM itself would crash every time I'd try saving the game I put my trust in the save state function. I pushed through and beat the final four but after beating the rival, the game auto saves and I can't get past it.
I've looked at many solutions to this issue and this is what I've tried:
Downloading a verified ROM, renaming it to match the broken one and loading the save state - outcome: states load but aren't playable, just a snapshot of where I've saved.
Tried using a verified ROM to create a save state, moving it to the SD card and using it to save the game - outcome: game loads where I've saved but I still can't overwrite it with my saved state.
Tried taking everything save related and opening it on my PC using mGBA (both the verified and broken ROM) - outcome: Says the save state is corrupt and doesn't load.
Checked file sizes as many people advised on the forum, both .srm and .sav are 128 kb, save state is 56 kb though.
I haven't been able to get the state to work on my PC at all and wonder if there's anything else I could grab from the SD card to get it working.
Could anyone please have a look at this and advise how I can migrate my saved state (.state4 file) to a .sav or .srm file? I've attached the files I've found and if there's anything else you need please let me know.
