I'm having some issues trying to import a save to Pokemon Silver VC. Whenever I attempt to import a save of mine normally used on an emulator, it'll give me an error message reading "The save file is corrupted and will be initialized". I'm guessing I may need to do some hex tweaking with the save file in order to fix this issue, but I have zero experience in hex editing. Is there anyone else that's having this problem with the recent G/S VC releases?

highlight and delete the last two lines in bottom of the save file in Hex Editing program.

Hey Yall, long time reader, first time poster...

I have JKSM and I am trying to pull a save file into a CIA of Pokemon sun. I go into the new CIA version and get to the first same spot, then I try and import my save. When i do it says it completes, but when i go back into the game it starts from the beginning having me pick a language. Any ideas?

I have a Gateway and a cia save with 3 files: common.bmssv, pkprfl.bmssv, samus.bmssv.
I would like to convert this cia save to Gateway save (.sav). Is it possible with JKSM ? If it is possible, could someone explain me where I need to put these files on SD card, and which options I need to use with JKSM to convert it to .sav ? Would be nice.

JKSM does not convert save files. I do not know what you need to use.

I haven't tried, but have you tried injecting it right after backing it up. Also padding the file to the exact size of the 3DS version's save. Yellow always gave me issues unless it did both.

Try removing the last 2 lines of the file within the hex editor you use and import that file using JKSM. I think thats whats been causing that error to appear.

You only need to pad/remove lines in HxD if you're swapping saves between an emulator and VC. If you're making changes to it in PKHeX or other, you need to delete "secure data" before restoring the save. Otherwise if you're just exporting/importing it should work just fine.

Edit 2: Wow I'm dumb. File hierarchy was wrong. I knew it would be something simple. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Also having issues with Pokemon Gold. I exported the save from my 3DS VC using JKSM, edited it slightly in PKHex, and now when I try to reinject, it says the save is corrupt and needs to be reinitialized. I'm not trying to pull a save from an emulator. It's going straight from VC to PKHex and back. I've looked at the two files now (backup and edited) in HxD and they both look the same. The last lines are the same. Only difference I see is the original has offset 0 and the new one has offset 800C, and I have absolutely no idea what that means.

Edit: I just tried to reinject the original file I pulled as a backup and I'm getting the same error. This is some serious garbage.

Any help?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
