How to Save Game for Pokemon Red in VBA

[GMac333]

Hey I just want to know how to save my game so that I don't have to do it in one sitting, I'm trying to play Pokemon Red

[Lex_Light]

Press "Start" (the key which is assigned to "Start"), go to "Save" and then, if the game asks for saving, say "Yes". ;)

[GMac333]

I tried that and it doesn't store it anywhere, when I reopen the game or the emulator the game save/file is gone

see the stickies.

Try using save states.

He needs to be able to save normally or he can't play on after the Elite4.

First off, don't triple (http://forums.ngemu.com/vba-m-discussion/132775-save-problem-w-fire-red.html) post (http://forums.ngemu.com/vba-m-discussion/114277-fix-your-broken-pokemon-firered-leaf-green-saves-here.html). And secondly, read the sticky threads.

um i did read the sticky and ppl are still having problems.i found this ''I mean, the save size for pokemon games is 128kbit, whereas most GBA games only use up to 64kbit. To get pokemon working, you will have to make a blank 128kbit file and rename it "Pokemon Emerald.sav" or whatever your rom name is. To create a blank 128kbit save file easily, just go into MS DOS and type something like this: copy /B "sav1.sav"+"sav2.sav" "128kbit.sav" where sav1.sav and sav2.sav represent any 64kbit saves you happen to have. they can have data in them already, it doesn't really matter. the output will be 128kbit.sav, a save that is... 128kbit. rename that to Pokemon Emerald.sav (or whatever your rom is named.) and put it in the VBA GX saves folder. Pokemon Emerald should then work just fine'' now i dont understand how to make a blank sav file thru ms dos.

[Squall-Leonhart]

no.

no no no.

and no.

delete the save. and use vba-over.ini.

[ninmario4life]
