I'm trying to figure out if its possible to extract a Global Link Game Sync ID from a game save then inject it into a new one. I want to start my game over (as most people do), but I don't want to loss all my progress in the DW. I'd also like to inject it into ROM Hacks for the same reason. I didn't think to make a backup of my save file when I started because I didn't think Nintendo would be so anal about it (yes, I should have know better). Anyone know if this is possible?

Heads up to anyone who contacted Pokemon Company about not getting there Eevee: I just recieved this email from PCI Looks like they are going to take responsibility for screwing up. Yay!

Sweet! TY

What Eevee-lution is it?

They have already responded to a number of people on the Serebii forums. I'm hoping that means they are taking it seriously

Wasn't doubting you. TY very much. Quick question: The Eevee-lutions wont show up until you get the Nationdex right?

Is it from DW or hacked? Just curious. Im is grateful either way :-D

Guess I'll be keeping my fingers crossed they are nice enough to upload it. At this point I don't care if its totally legit or not. I'll set its Trainer ID to mine so I don't have to deal with it being disobedient.

Thanks to everyone who is uploading the Eevee-lution pkm files. Not to seem ungrateful, but did no one get a Flareon?

Thanks for posting your DW Eevee-lutions. Now all I need to do is wait for a good Flareon to be uploaded or for Nintendo to "fix" the issue.

Well I just came from the Serebii.net forums and it seems a number of people there didn't get their eevee-lutions as well. A number of them send emails to tech support at Pokemon.com about it. I suggest anyone here with who had problems do the same. If enough people bring it to there attention, there is a good chance they will do something about the problem.

No. It took me two or three tries to get Flareon though. Once it said it saved, I just closed the browser. It wouldn't require them to give out their entire save. You rip your save and then use PokeGen to extract the Eevee-lution as a pkm file. Its no different than people extracting wonder cards or event pokemon from there saves and uploading it to the forums. I'm not desperate to get one, I just would like to get what I "earned". While this is true, I'm hoping they take the time to realize that most people wouldn't waste the time to lie about something so trivial. I just emailed them about it because they have been very helpful in the past when I've contacted them.

You used Firefox too? Ya that is a web design error. Well I'll be sending them this and other threads as proof. We'll see what happens. Im hoping people will rip the eevee-lutions from there games so we can load it on. Im hoping it wouldn't be too hard to manipulate the pkm file so it looks like it came from your DW.

I wish I saw this post before the 5th. I logged on today to find that it my Flareon never registered. I sent an email to tech support about this. This seems to be a widespread problem, so maybe they will do something about it. I want my Flareon!! It was supposed to be my fire type for my first play through. >.<

There ya go. Thanks for posting the info. I'm linking to this from GBATemp as there is a discussion about this there.

I understand where you are coming from, but after talking with my friends, the Celebi they got this weekend have OT GAMESTP. I can assure you the date was not changed on the distribution DS. I have also checked with the ASM at the GS closest to me (he's a friend of mine) and he said they never got a new distro cart in. Like I said before, I'm going to ask a Nintendo rep at PAX East this weekend about it. They might not know, but never know unless you ask.

Its not trolling when you make a valid point. I agree that is it unlikely they would mark it as hacked/illegal, but you never know (unless you work for or have spoken to Nintendo). I spoke with a friend of mine who is an ASM at the local GS and he said his store never received the new distro cart, so there is a chance that there are a number of them floating around out there. I'm probably going to ask a Nintendo rep at PAX this weekend just out of curiosity.

You are not 100% sure of this. They very well could do it. It may be unlikely, but it could still happen.

How can you be so sure about that?

I have no idea why its not working for you. All I can guess is maybe the your download was corrupted. This app is still in pre-beta (pre-alpha even), so it could just be a stupid glitch or bug. As for you file names, Im suprised it didn't do that for you. Has no one else run into oddly named files from the zips? What are you using to extract them?

claudekennilol, not sure why it isn't working if your files are named correctly. To be honest I'm actually suprised they aren't misnamed. What is the file name? Also what release are you using? Adding another bug: I tried to rip a friend's SS save and it failed with both snapshot and snapshot2. snapshot just errored out with generic message while snapshot2 said it was a NOR error. I used snapshot to extract the save from my HG and it worked, so not sure why SS wouldn't work.

Sadly there is no readme, which is something I've been asking for since I found this app. Without one. its not clear how to get the app running. For some reason Pokedoc adds the folder/directory name (savegame_manager_0.2.1) to the beginning of the file names (Ex savegame_manager_0.2.1\savegame_manager.nds). This causes problems as the NDS file looks for "savegame_manager.ini", not "savegame_manager_0.2.1\savegame_manager.ini". You need to rename both the NDS and INI files to "savegame_manager". Place them both in the same folder, and then boot the NDS file. It should work after that. If it says it can't find the ini file, move it to the root of the card and try again. Once the app actually loads, its self-explanatory. If you want to do a dump via Wifi, you will have to ask someone else about it as I have no idea how it works. A heads up: Ignore the releases in the first post and use snapshot 2 (found in post 76). It is the most recent stable build. It works with a 3-in-1 (tested it myself), but Noko is having problems copying saves back to a retail cart. Yup! Goodie. Thanks for the heads up. Sucks you lost your save on the retail cart. Thankfully it is backed up so when the problem is fixed, you restore it. Hopefully Pokedoc gets back to us this weekend about bug fixes.

Noko: So you can rip saves using your 3-in-1, but not upload/restore them back to the retail cart? Did you use snapshot2? I ask as I was going to try this sometime next week. If there is a chance of losing my save, I'm not trying it until Pokedoc does more testing.

So you can't "force" a sprite to work? I know you can hack sprite with AR codes. They might not work properly in game (no walking animation), but you can still do it.

No one has any idea if this is possible? Not a one?
