Hi all, Recently I tried my GBA copy of Pokémon Emerald with my Nintendo DS lite but sadly got an error message when starting the game. The error message is as follows: The save file has been erased due to corruption or damage. So after some research I found out that this might be because my copy is not a legitimate version but possibly a knock-off. It's been a long time since I bought it so I don't recall where I got it, but it wasn't in a physical store but at some online retailer. After looking around on the internet I figured I could try and buy a device that can read the cartridge so I bought the GBxCart RW 1.4 Pro Reader and was able to detect the cartridge and download my save file. I'm not sure if this info is relevant but below is a screenshot from the program. I've also attached the .sav file. After this I downloaded the VisualBoyAdvance emulator to see if the save would load there but sadly I got the same error. So, after some Googling I saw quite some posts on this forum with people asking for help recovering their save file. So here I am doing the same. If someone has the knowledge and time, I'd highly appreciate if you could take a look to see if anything is salvageable. Please let me know if any other info is needed. Kind regards, A nostalgic Pokémon player POKEMON EMER_BPEE.sav

WELCOME, to the absolutely CHAOTIC world of Pokémon Chaos Emerald! This hack is WILD! Get ready to battle in some of the strangest and most unique battles you've ever battled in a pokemon game before! This is in no way, shape, or form a normal difficulty hack! This is a funny little difficulty hack I've made that's full of things that pokemon fans love including some old beta pokemon that were scrapped long ago Lots of changes have been made to make the game better than ever! Including no need to teach field HMs, more engaging and surprising battles, fairy type, night time, some new moves and abilities, and most important of all, the removal of that stupid fish gyarados (I hate gyarados!) "Torchic!" The game also features almost all of the pokemon from gens 4-7 including chatot (duh), riolu, solosis, alolan raichu, MEGA EVOLUTONS and much more! There's also a gen 8 pokemon line sneaking around in the shadows, can you find them? This fanhack also adds some fun quality of life features! You can use your starter unevolved but with the stats of a fully evolved pokemon (level them up holding a regular potion at any evolution stage they'll turn into their X variants, which are basically the first stages of them but much more powerful (basically the first stages of them but with the stats of a fully evolved pokémon). You can switch back between the X forms and the fully evolved by having them level up holding a super potion). So now you can carry your cute little Torchic and Mudkip all the way to the Elite 4 without having to worry about them being too weak! You can even purchase rare candies! In some pokemarts such as the rustbaro mart and ever grande city you can buy rare candies for a low price to prevent having to grind too much, they'd also be really useful if you feel the game is getting too difficult too. I don't recommended going too high over the gym leaders however or else the game will be too easy haha I'm glad to announce that EV training is not required to finish the rom hack! I've beaten it twice with zero ev training whatsoever The hack is basically complete and 100% playable from start to finish! Pretty much all of the major battles are modified with fun including the first Gym Leader rematches and the Meteor Falls battle against Steven! So please have fun playing my silly rom hack! There's a lot of surprises waiting for you... Included in the download link below is the Version 2.4 MilkyWay UPS patch file (released 9/24/21) , documentation that you should read, a small text file that teaches you how to patch if you don't know how, and details on how to get those sweet sweet mega evolutions! https://www.mediafire.com/folder/oqmy6iw0kz99p/chatot WARNING: This hack doesn't support old VBA or mVBA, use a more accurate emulator like VBA-M 2.1.4! If you're playing on android I recommend John GBAC CREDITS POKEMON LIBERATE EMERALD ROMBASE BY LI YUN BOX ART BY ANONYMOUS NEW SPRITES BY ATECAINCORP. AND JAPEAL.COM NO HMS PATCH BY YATOOMA/DEARMAN4 OTHER SPRITES AND ICONS BY DYNAMIC POKEMON EXPANSION, MRDOLLSTEAK, THEDARKDRAGON11, POKEFARM ITEM SCRIPTS BY PHENOM2122 SOME VOICE LINES BY TED LEWIS AND VINESAUCE BATTLE ENGINE AND NIGHT CYCLES BY DIZZYEGG EV DISPLAY BY jiangzhengwenjz PLAYTESTED BY TOLLEYPLAYS ON TWITCH.TV AND ARKARDIAN if I'm missing any credits or if there's any crazy bugs let me know :} and most importantly, enjoy the show! P.S if you hear any weird screeching noises during your battles, its because they aliens are so intrigued by your battles that they have no choice but to come down and watch. They're a very interruptive and loud crowd indeed. FAQ Q: Umm... I think I clicked on the wrong thread, can you help me figure out where I need to go? A: Let's just consider this a happy accident and you accidently stumbled amount the strangest difficulty hack ever made, why don't you give it a try? Q: Why did my treecko learn water gun? A: That's a good question... moving on Q: Why does remoraid look like that??? A: Don't blame me Q: Maxie sent out a what? A: A what is a pretty good pokemon, in fact it learns outrage at level 1, isn't that wild? Q: Help I'm stuck underwater! What do I do? A: Simply press the B button on your device and you'll be back up in no time! Q: This game isn't real, and I'm just having a really weird dream A: Pinch yourself, you might actually wake up Q: I hate you... A: That's mean Discord Community! (created on 9/20/21) https://discord.gg/4XHndatKvv EDIT: I'd love to hear any feedback about the rom hack! Edit (9/24/21): Version 2.4 MilkyWay has been released! Adds in a new Mega Evolution, more backsprites for new additions, and improves more movesets! 2.4 will most likely be the last version update unless theres any bugs I need to fix. The game is basically 100% complete at this point, I hope you all enjoy it! I had a lot of fun making this hack, and I hope it puts a smile on your face! HOW TO UPDATE: You need to use a clean unpatched emerald rom to patch the rom, then rename your .sav file to the new patched rom and it should work fine! Save the old patched rom using the in-game save option and rename the .sav file to the new patched rom, and now you can load the save file on the new patched rom! Make sure the .sav and the new patched rom are in the same folder or else it won't work! Also make backups just in case there's an error! You can use the program ADVANCE MAP 1.95 from LUHO to view the wild encounters and GEN 3 TOOLS by KURAPIKA to view all the stats and ability changes. Extreme caution however as they contain major spoilers! ENJOY!

Hi! So i’ve used Gameshark multiple times to find my sid and pkhex, just to make sure i get the same number - which they are. So with that said and done i have my SID. I put it into rng reporter to find my shiny frame. i use another vba program, one which i can load an lua file so i can find the exact frame! i speed up my vba to that frame, well almost and pause the game, going one by one, each frame individually until i get to it. however, it’s never shiny? It’d be awesome if anything knew anything about this. Thanks!

I only found this...but it's look like need something That looks like it needs something other than Pkhex？ I only have the tools in the picture

Hello everyone, first of all i apologize if this topic doesn't go here, but i don't know where to post it. The question is that I have observed that in my original LG / FR and EMERALD cartridges, when entering any Pokemon Center, the image freezes for 1 second, i need to know why, as you know the normal thing is: ENTER->SCREEN IN BLACK-->IT LIGHTS UP PROGRESSIVELY AND YOU APPEAR INSIDE THE POKEMON CENTER, whitout the frozen image being left as indicated below I don't know if it has to do with the fact of having accessed the games with an external application to extract the SAV games (with GBA Backup tool program) or when injecting the events of the 3rd GEN(program created by Suloku) The same thing happens in my 3 games and it surprises me because I've already done t his with Pokemon Rubi & Sapphire and this error doesn't happen, only in this next generations I think it's some error in the ROM but my games are original and have never been manipulated before These are the characteristics: FireRed: Version 1.1 LifeGreen:Version 1.0 EMERALD: I've only extracted the SAV to know my SID, never injected again I attach images of the error, this happens playing in GBA / GBA SP / DS lite / Game boy player in game cube etc..I upload the images from an emulator so that it is better appreciated. Thanks a lot for all and I hope u could solve this doubt that drives me crazy Images:

So I was playing Pokemon Emerald for the last 4/5 weeks, and I got out of Victory Road. Because I had a team of Pokemon around levels 40, I started to grind EXP to get them atleast lvl 50's before facing for the first time the Elite 4. Problem is, my sav file got corrupted and already lost the file. If someone could create a sav file where I would be outside victory road, never faced the Elite 4, with the list of Pokemon below, I would appreciate. I searched online for Pokemon Save Files Editing, but I dont understand much, and I'm not in the right state of mind to do so. My team of Pokemon was Mightyena lvl 44 Rock Smash Strength Bite Howl Swellow lvl 41 Fly Aerial Ace Steel Wing Quick Attack Sceptile lvl 42 Cut Leaf Blade Giga Drain Flash Gardevoir lvl 39 Shadow Ball Psychic Calm Mind Thunderbolt Aggron lvl 41 Dig Earthquake Metal Claw Iron Defence Tentacruel lvl 44 Surf Dive Waterfall Ice Beam The lvl's mentioned are around the lvl's I had for those Pokemon. I just want to atleast be able to fight for the first time, and defeat, the Elite 4 and Champion with the same team of Pokemon that I had before. I don't mind not getting other Pokemon that I had (I captured Rayquaza with a Masterball, but didn't intend to use for the final matches) Thanks for the help.

So I was playing Emerald with mGBA because someone heavily recommended it, and wanted to trade a Machoke with myself to evolve. I opened the second game with the same .sav and successfully traded, but as I got to the point where the game automatically saves, my main window froze with a black screen and the second one kept saving. Moments later, I got an error screen saying that it couldn't save, and then I was sent to title screen. Second game just had that "Connection error" black screen and I closed it. Right after I got to the title screen with my main window, I decided to open the game and save, and I found myself stuck in this place. Funny thing is I'm not even playing as the male character xD Anyway, I'm gonna attach my .sav here and see if any of you can help me get out of there and go back to a normal game pokemon_esmeralda_esp.sav

Hey, so after a year of on and off tinkering with my savefile I figured out what my issue was. Simply put, a lot of the events I checked while changing my RTC are timestamp-based. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what points in virtual time I saved at and when those events will tick over and become active again. Has anybody ever figured out even what the hex editor values for stuff like the lottery or Swarms are? Or am I truly in the shit? Cheers!

I've played a few Soul Link's so far and every time I start my play session for the day it's always kind of an annoying process. Loading up 2 separate emulators, 2 roms, having to rekeybind the controllers every time. I was wondering if someone would be able to make a program that could make it easier. If your unfimiliar with a Soul Link Nuzlocke, heres the rules. 1- Any Pokémon that faints is considered "dead," and must be released or stored in a specified PC box for "dead" Pokémon. 2- You can only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. 3- You must also nickname all of your Pokémon, for the sake of forming "stronger emotional bonds." 4- In a new area, the first encounters for both players will be, "linked," together until death. 5- If one Pokémon in a linked pair is placed in the PC, it's Soul Link partner must be placed in the PC as well. 6- If one Pokémon in a linked pair dies, it's Soul Link partner is considered dead as well. 7- If one player fails to capture their first encounter in an area, the second player must forfeit their encounter in their corresponding area. 8- Across both players parties, primary typings may not be repeated. Basically what I'm looking for is a program that emulates 2 roms side by side and be able to control them individually. I've thought of a few features to make it better. Features -Emulators from all consoles built in - Ex. VBA, Desmume, and Citra -Saves both roms under 1 "project" and loads them on the same side every time -Type Chart ready -Online Remote Play - Be able to join your friends session online to see and control one of the games. -Games connected locally so you can trade and battle -Database where you can input your linked pokemon pairs and where you caught them -Built in Pokedex Database (Not necessary but would be helpful) -Program reads both your teams and displays them between the game (I'm aware that's not an easy ask but if it's possible, why not) I feel like except for a couple of them this is a completely possible thing to create. I know it probably wont happen but I just thought I'd get the idea out there. I love doing Soul Links and I'm so happy people found a way to make Pokemon Co-op. Thanks for your time.

Hey there, I'm wondering if anybody has had luck with getting their savefile to have TV events and the Berry Master and such work again. I can get berry growing and the Shoal Cave moving, but that's about it. The RTC fix option in PKHeX doesn't seem to function correctly when it comes to fixing this.

Please can someone tell me how can i get all the people in the Fan Club in Lilycove City to like me . I hate to be told that my father (NORMAN) the gym leader is stronger than me .

This is my thread of wild Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Emerald. All the code types are: GameShark v3 (ActionReplay) I hope you enjoy it.

Hello projectpokemon. I've tried the following programs; PokeFinder, RNG Reporter, and Windows Calculator to generate a legal shiny 6IV Adamant natured Rayquaza in Emerald version. However, I never ever get Adamant nature in the search results. Can you guys write a program that is capable of generating valid shiny 6IV PIDs of any specified nature? Should PKHeX also have a more sophisticated PID generator that allows users to specify the gender, nature, IVs, shininess, ability, and encounter slot for generation 3 and 4 Pokemon games? This would make it significantly easier for users to generate legal generation 3 and 4 Pokemon. Thank you and best wishes projectpokemon!

I have a MYSTRY Mew and was wondering if anyone could confirm if it's legit or not, please. OT: MYSTRY, ID: 06930, Nature: Serious, Characteristic: It's very finicky! IVs: HP: 23, Attack: 21, Defense: 6, Sp. Atk: 29, Sp Def: 8, Speed: 6,

Hello, I know this has been asked before, and I've also consulted HaxAras's guide. I'm unable to follow the steps of that guide due to only owning a non-Japanese Emerald cartridge. Would anybody be so incredibly kind to put the Regi Dolls (and possibly all decorations, but that's optional) in my Emerald backed-up save? I'd be extremely grateful, as the Regi Dolls have been a forever dream of mine to own. Thank you so much in advance! POKEMON_EMER_BPEE00.sav

Hay I need help badly, I've asked on discord but when I look it up on google (like some people have said to do) there are no helpful results... all I'm asking is for help with some competitive move sets for my Pokémon in gen 3, in this case emerald/colo. I need help with three move sets for Salamance for two event eggmoves and one for a normal in game eggmove, ill list them below. Moves: * iron defense * wish * hydro pump some of the most reliable sites were of no help when it came to move sets for these moves. even looking up "competitive (insert listed move here) salamance" resulted in no help at all just info for move sets for gens that are not gen 3 but had the moves in them. (granted smogon did have one for wish but not the set I thought was helpful sents I don't really use moves like protect that much) I really need help with these move sets for gen 3, if anybody can help plz respond im about to give up looking for these sets and just focus on other Pokémon….

Hey guys I wanted to start a LEGIT shiny collection. I've been a shiny collector for years and just got into .sav files. I'll be uploading a .sav file soon with a collection of the shinies I've caught over the years as well as some I've gotten some friends. (I'm just waiting for my package) My collection does include some RNG shinies since I did a bit of experimentation with it but the rest are full odds. I'm we can all pool our shinies to make a complete shiny-dex of non RNG pokemon.

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone had/ could please make me a sav file with any of the shiny starters in any of the gen 3 games. Either fire red/ leaf green or Emerald. Also could you please put the name of the player to Ryan and select the male character. Thank you so much! I appreciate it! P.S. If possible would Could I also get max money and the aurora ticket.

I want 2 save files (.sav) in Pokemon Emerald where: the protagonist is already back on Littleroot after beating Wallace for the first time AND has not got the SS Ticket yet. If possible, Hoenn Dex is almost (if not fully) completed that will qualify me to get a Johto starter. I want that the two saves have different Trainer ID numbers because I wanted the other starters (Cyndaquil and Totodile; I already got Chikorita) to be traded to my own save like a legit trade. Protagonists in both saves must be a female named "MAY", not "May". Thank you in advance!

So I used the wii homebrew gamecube cable save dumper to get my emerald save file from the cartridge and it wont open and gives me the error in the picture also am attatching the actual save file POKEMON EMER [BPEE01].sav
