unfortunately yeah. Game looks/runs so good with those options on tho

The two .ini files are identical other than these 3D and Video settings Renderer=2 HighResolutionInterpolateColor=1 EnableEdgeMark=1 EnableFog=1 EnableTexture=1 ZeldaShadowDepthHack=0 EnableLineHack=1 EnableAntiAliasing=1 EnableTXTHack=0 [Video] Window Rotate=0 Filter=8 Width=512 Height=768 FPS Scaler Index=5 Window Size=0 Window width=512 Window height=768 WindowPosX=202 WindowPosY=118 Display Method Filter=1 Display Method=3 Window Rotate Set=0 This is what they look like in the new .ini file which works [3D] Renderer=2 [Video] Window Rotate=0 Filter=0 Width=256 Height=384

To anyone looking in this forum for answers to this problem. I changed the new desmume.ini file's graphical/video settings to something different and the solution above no longer works. There arent any other differences which is unfortunate because the game runs/looks like shit without the different graphical settings.

Yup, after repeating those steps with a new desmume.ini file it allows me to continue the game and edit the file in PKHex. I'm gonna go through and see which settings are different.

Aw man i was hoping to avoid deleting desmume.ini because I have a bunch of settings on that I prefer. I'll make a copy of mine in a different folder and then delete the original to see if your process works then. Thanks anyway for trying to help me out again.

No, all the ROMs and emulators are in a regular folder on my desktop.

nope, it doesnt. It puts me back into the beginning professor oak dialogue. Also, when I save in-game it only takes like half a second so it might not be saving correctly or something idk.

Okay I repeated this whole process without save states and deleted any states or .dsv files beforehand. When I soft-reset after saving in-game twice, it puts me back into the beginning prof. oak dialogue, here is the .dsv file anyway. Pokemon Platinum.dsv

Sorry didnt see that post for a sec, here is the .sav after following your steps. platinum SAV.sav

This is the file after saving in-game twice. Pokemon Platinum.dsv

That save I linked you is brand new from right now after I saved in game 3 times. When the game pauses to save it only took like half a second which leads me to believe it's not actually saving the game or something.

So im trying to open the .dsv in PKHex and it is giving me the error that the file is too large. Also when I close Desmume and open it again, the ROM willl start a "new" pokemon game from the professor oak screen and wont let me continue. edit: I also read through this forum post again and made sure i followed your steps Pokemon Platinum.dsv

Hey man, sorry to bother you about this same issue but I'm trying the same thing and this .dsv file just refuses to work. I've tried deleting the save file in .\battery and re-saving in-game but it wont load the save in game to let me press continue. Do you have any ideas of what to try? Edit: It seems to be making a new .dsv save everytime I launch the game and replacing the old one instead of loading the old one

okay perfect, all i wanted was a shiny perfect IV piplup to start off the game. Thanks for your help

okay, thank you. I got it to work. If i want to edit anything else would I just edit that .dsv file?
