Thought I'd post this for whoever is interested. I did a hex comparison between my 3in1 and Wifi dumps and noticed that the junk data is written on a consistent basis. It seems that within the 3in1 save, at every 16KB, the junk data is written to the file. The starting point for where the junk data was written in my save was at 0x2000. Based on the established pattern of every 16KB, the next instance of junk data will occur at 0x6000, then 0xA000, 0xE000, 0x12000, etc., all the way until near the end, at 0x7E000. The size of the junk data is also consistent as well. At the first instance (0x2000), the junk data ends at 0x3FFF. The difference between these two produces 0x1FFF, or 8191 bytes. This value remains constant for each instance of junk data. So, at 0x6000, the junk data ends at 0x7FFF, at 0xA000, it's 0xBFFF, at 0x12000, it's 0x13FFF. That's it with my observations. I hope someone will find this useful.

Thanks for the new release Pokedoc. Here are my findings with this version: Using either my R4 or Acekard2i with my 3in1 still produces the same corrupted save file that I got with version 0.1.1. The checksums from the 0.1.1 dumps are the same as the ones I dumped with 0.2. Dumping with Wifi works (awesome job Pokedoc!). I was able to make proper dumps with my R4 and Acekard2i. The wifi dumps produced a different checksum compared to the ones dumped with the 3in1. However, I can verify the wifi dumps are proper because they load error free with the applications I was having problems with before (Pokesav doesn't show corrupted boxes, Pokegen and Mystery Gift Editor don't throw save file errors anymore, and running the save files with an emulator or on a flash cart resumes the game from the save point). To sum up, 3in1 dumping is still sketchy (for me anyways) and Wifi dumping is perfect. Great job Pokedoc!

It may open with Pokesav, but if you check my boxes, it's full of corrupted data. Also, as Bond697 has mentioned, Pokegen doesn't work either. It throws an "Invalid save file" error. I also tried running it through the Mystery Gift Editor, and that too throws an error. Running the save file through an emulator and my flash carts forces me to start a new game.

Congrats on the tool, unfortunately, the HG save I got from my retail cartridge does not work. I used the hwtest file on my EZ 3in1 (it's an EZ5C10), and it generated the following: I made dumps of my HG save on both my R4 (original model) and Acekard 2i. The two saves I got from the two flash carts are identical after running them through a hash checker. So, for my case at least, I can verify that it's not a flash cart issue. I've attached my save for those interested. POKEMON HG.0.sav
