Funziona tutto anche sulla versione italiana, è passato un po' di tempo e l'interfaccia PKHeX è un pochino diversa dagli screenshot che avevo fatto, ma il processo è comunque lo stesso. Tutti i Pokémon catturati in questo modo sono legit a eccezione di Mew. I biglietti per Latias/Latios e Deoxys sono stati direttamente rilasciati anche in Italia (il Biglietto Eone nel corso del primo "Pokémon Day" nei negozi nel 2004 e il Biglietto Aurora al Pokémon Day del 2005 a Mirabilandia e al Lucca Comics dello stesso anno). Il Biglietto Magico per Lugia/Ho-oh invece non è mai stato rilasciato in Italia ma, in teoria, l'evento americano sarebbe stato compatibile anche con le cartucce italiane. La Mappa Stinta per Mew, invece, essendo stata rilasciata solo in Giappone non è mai stata riscattabile in modo legittimo sulle cartucce occidentali, quindi ogni Mew dell'Isola Suprema catturato in un cartuccia non giapponese viene visto come illegale, ma si può comunque catturare con questo sistema.

I can correctly open my legit Battle Revolution save file extracted from my actual Wii (PAL). But I noticed that every Pokémon without a nickname is flagged as illegal with the allert "Nickname does not match species name." I don't know if this has been reported before. It only happens with PKHeX 20240603, not with 20240505. @Kaphotics

As @Kaphotics said, Gen4 save files are 512KB, not 1MB. So there could be some issues in your flashcart/emulator settings. I trimmed the extra 512KB and it works (I also added a Pichu-Color-Pikachu in your Box 2, so you can directly use it to trigger the Spiky Eared Pichu event). Pro tip: you can use TWiLight Menu++, a DSi menu replacement, also with flashcarts. In this way you can have the best DS roms compatibility. Take a look here. 4781 - Pokemon SoulSilver (U)(Xenophobia).sav

Checkpoint works like a charm with all Pokémon DS/3DS carts, HGSS included.

DS saves are not encrypted and they are usually directly stored in the SD card, so simply put your R4 SD card inside your PC and look for [game name].sav

You can dump the entire rom from your cartridge and then try to find a valid save file using this tool.

When you install a new battery, the RTC (real time clock) restarts from 01/01/2000. The game keeps track of played hours, so if you (for example) have played for 10 years and then the battery died you should wait others 10 years to reach the "next day" in-game. Imho, the best solution is to adjust the RTC and set the actual time, this can be easily done with this little Homebrew software that works with DS/DS lite (the .nds version that works with DS flashcarts, like R4, that access the GBA carts through Slot-2 insertion) or directly with GBA (.gba version with GBA flashcarts, like EZ Flash Omega, and works with cartridge swap).

Try to clean cartridge contacts with IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) and dump again. If you are using a flashcard (like R4) with your DS/DS lite with GBA Backup Tool you can try instead GodMode9i.

Maybe your plugin is blocked by Windows. Try to right-click the plugin .dll file and select "Properties." In the "General" tab, look at the bottom for a "Security" section. If there is, select the "Unblock" check box and click OK.

You have to save in-game and then you can use the .dsv save file (located in your DeSmuME folder\Battery) or the 512KB .sav exported backup memory.

firered.sav Somehow there was a corruption in the "Previously on your quest" function, I was able to open the save if I pressed "B" to skip the sequence, but it was stucked if I tried to watch it normally. I tried multiple approaches, but at the end I simply did "something" in-game in order su overwrite the previous corrupted sequence. Now it works.

I personally use GBxCart RW with FlashGBX and it works like a charm with III gen Pokémon games. @jcb753 are you sure that the cartridge is original? Have you correctly installed the GBxCart RW's drivers? Does it work with other carts?

PKHeX should be able to read a .raw GC Memory Card file. There could be a problem with latest builds: your file doesn't work with PKHeX 24.03.26/24.03.10, but it works with PKHeX 24.01.12 Until a fix, you can either use an old build or use Dolphin Memory Card manager to extract the .gci Colosseum file.

Same happens to me with all IV gen save files (dumped from original cartridges). Previous PKHeX version(s) works fine.

Nowadays brick a 3DS while installing CFW is almost impossible.
