I can't get this to work on pokemon platinum (I'm assuming it works for platinum...)

I followed the instructions to the letter. I changed the file to say Uncompressed, converted the file, opened it with the hack program, then all I did was change the pokemon in slot 1 and changed its attacks and set everything to max. I then chose "save as" and made it the exact file name as the original save and put it in the battery folder.

I opened up NO$GBA and it went straight to creating a new character. It has loaded saved games in the past, I don't know what's wrong >.<

EDIT: Apparently, it doesn't work on platinum...I tried it with Diamond and it works fine. If anyone has a solution that works for platinum, I'd love to hear it.

Works perfect for Platinum, just use the correct save editor RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

However for whatever reason pokemon still arent shiny, no matter if I get them out of an egg or just edit them into my team, does anyone have any idea why?

Hi,
I've tried this with Diamond, it was just a test, so I only did 995 of every Pokeball. It worked (yay!). But now, when I try it again, It doesn't work, I want it on my DS, I have a firecard/fire link, it has .sav files that are 256kb, so I thought, in PokeSav, instead of 512kb, (you can choose on the left) I'll do 256kb, but it didn't work.

But when I first tried, it worked as I said on No$GBA, AND on my DS, but now not anymore.

What I did, made the ini uncompressed, saved in No$GBA, converted it, (doesn't makes the file smaller) edit it, and save it. Now that doesn't work anymore, suggestions?

EDIT: As I said, my save files usually are 256kb, with PokeSav you can choose between 512 and 256kb. But when I pick 256kb, save it, then go to the directory, look the properties, it says it's 265kb, and with 512kb, in properties it's 521, the first time, I don't know what I did different, but it was the normal 256 size. It's always 9kb bigger, that's the reason (I think).
Does somebody know how to make it smaller, so it works?

Man, I spend hours trying to circumvent the comdlg32.ocx problem(which I finally figured out) and then I run into another when I finally get pokesav working lol. Has anyone ever had trouble getting a backup save to load? I couldn't get the pokesav save I made to load so I tried deleting it. I think I must've deleted the original file because when I load up the rom it goes straight to the rowan intro. I've tried using backup saves but they don't seem to register. What can I do?

Edit: Nvm, was messing around and I stumbled upon the solution. The names(of the rom and save) seemingly matched up but I changed them both anyway to be sure. Sure enough the save loaded right up. Must've been a letter off or something? Idk lol.

hello

try converting no_gba ini with no_gba to vba
here is the site to download:
Freeware - No$GBA VBA Battery Converter

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · August 26th, 2009

what? converting the no$gba.ini file will do nothing...
that advice you just gave makes no sense whatsoever.

This is immediately after converting and opening in PokeSAV

the data cannot be correct at all, I have a full party, all have actual names (not ||||||||), my character has a name, I am not at that location, my character is a male, and I did not start in 2000, etc..

Squall-Leonhart · September 21st, 2009

you didn't convert the save correctly.
