EZ 3-in-1 Save, VBA and Pokemon Emerald [Spanish Version]

stpdrgstr · May 18th, 2010, 19:00

Hi, good day.

I'm having a lot of troubles to use the save file created with the Flash Card in the emulator. I receive a white screen when trying to use this .sav file created by it.

The save weights 129 KB, not 128, I don't really know why.

I know AKAIO or GBA ExpLoader both patch the game so I can save or something, so that might be the problem.

Any way to fix this? I'm trying to link the game to a ruby rom so I can transfer a pokemon from there, and I think this is the only way.

I already read through the "pokemon saves fix" sticky, but I can't really fix it without a save state.

This is the savefile.

Thanks in advantage.

i don't support patched roms, they introduce too many variables that can go wrong.

I had the exact same issues.

Fix:
Open save file in hex editor. Remove first 16 bytes (so the file is back to a size with a power of two).

You can also port an emulator save to your 3in1 by adding these 16 bytes (from the correct game) back to a save file.

Spacy:

Thanks, it worked!

Now, how would I go about adding the bytes back? I'm using XVI32, I removed the first 16 bits using the script command "DEL 16".

Thanks again.
