Hello, I apologize in advance if I'm asking in the wrong area. I'm attempting to partially decypt my X version save game so that I can view pokemon, specifically gen 5 pokemon, using PKHeX. I want to find out what my PID is so that I can RNG shiny pokemon in my gen 5 games.
I have followed the quoted instructions to the best of my ability, however when I attempt to view the "decrypted" file that is the result of the XOR operation (with the header removed, as per instructions), PKHeX gives me a warning that the file has not been decrypted. I can press "yes" to ignore the warning, and a second prompt appears asking if I want to load the sav at 0x3000 or the one at 0x82000. I have attempted opening both, and a final error message appears "Unrecognized Save File loaded."
Is there a troubleshooting guide of common mistakes new users make while attempting this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
