[50,000 Challenge Tickets]

Is this the ticket points so we don't have to accumulate the points to unlock the ticket?
or it is the ticket itself?

Given you can only have 1 ticket at a time, and you need at most 50k points to unlock a ticket, I'm wagering its the points.

Turn off/disable cheat in emulators or edison overlay, and then you can click normal Save. Because in game detected cheat from game freak. Like Pokemon Others Old Cases Like that cant saving.

Anyone else getting corrupted saves?

well illegal pokemon just mean you can't bring them online, what get you banned is like going online with like a dirty nand, transferring save from a modded Switch to a unmodded switch risk getting banned, for certain games you can get away with other game but not pokemon if you go online.

The ban risk for save sharing is very low, also use cheats for games are very low, exception of few titles like Splatoon, Pokémon and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

That is based on assessment from members only use hacked Switch for save sharing or/and cheating, so exclude pirated related like install NSP will get you banned.

As for Pokémon, PKHex found out that Legends: Arceus has additional integrity check to determine if save is yours and if not, you can be banned from in game, so not sure about console ban. They suspected that Scarlet and Violet and Z-A likely have same tool, so as for reason, they don't allow the save sharing on PKHex forum. The restriction don't apply to here, however we strongly encouraged members to use shared save in offline mode by cut WiFi off as safety measure.

My unpatched Switch that I got in 2018 never had emuNAND and I only use for save sharing, cheats and translation mod, so there is ZERO ban after 7 years. I don't allow selected Pokémon titles go online because save isn't mine, Splatoon (I stopped play many years ago) and Super Smash Bros.

Transfer saves from hacked Switch to unhacked Switch is not problem for vast majority of games, exception of few games that I mentioned above. As for Pokémon, there are some members reported that they don't get a ban if they are doing correctly like no illegal Pokémon and it is their saves that they created, not from someone, so my statement is based on their experience.

Ty so much My dude. I'm gonna Try it now,

That sounds like save corruption. Backup your save and try this:

https://pl.azalea.sh/

That site is a tool designed to fix Legends ZA Save Corruption.

If that works for you, delete your current cheats file and rebuild it by hand with cheats that have been confirmed safe and working instead of copying from big cheat lists.

It's totally worked, ty soooooo much

Why do you keep posting this?

There is no anti-cheat in Legends ZA. Saves get corrupted because some codes are not formatted properly and are not tested, the majority being bad item codes.

Turning off cheats won't change anything if the save has already been corrupted.

Use the plza save recovery tool

The problem is that I don't know where to find my saved files.
I use JKSV, make a backup, then use the recovery tool, and finally use JKSV again?

I mean that defeat the purpose of the save transfer if you can't go online. May as well just play the playthrough. I do remember about the PLA save sharing thing.

No it is something else.

i just finished backing up and using this pack and its working like a charm, thanks for the tip and the quick help!
kudos to you!

Turn off/disable in Emulators/Edison Overlay cheat game speed 3x 5x or 5x, its only works not stuck animation in game speed 1x and 2x. And then Game Back Normal can run animation (My tested).

I got stuck when i fight Rintaro for ranked up, it got loop loading. I played on citron with default setting. It is caused by cheat or the game is still unstable on emu?

thanks mate.
another question, is it okay to unlock a TM or Mega Stones by cheat? since we can only get one TM or Mega Stones each.

for example, I use TM001 cheat, then after that i found TM001 lying on the ground then I grab it, is it okay or will it corrupt my save file? (also for the Mega Stones)

TMs you might be okay, I haven't seen anyone complaining they're soft-locked because of it, however Mega Stones I personally would avoid (other than the Kalos starter mega stones that you can only get by playing online). A lot of people have reported soft-locks because of already having a Mega Stone.

You get a lot of the Mega Stones via story progression, and if you've been diligent about collecting Colorful Screws, grinding Mega Stones is stupidly easy once you have 3 of the Pink Canari Plushies. With 3 Pink Canari Plushies, I'm regularly maxing out on Mega Stones without realizing it, and I'm not even actively farming them, just breaking the clusters when I see them. Of course if you don't want to bother with collecting the colored screws, there is an item cheat for that.

Of course, soft-locks are solvable, and if you added an item via code you can always remove it via code.

My windows detect the download files as virus. Why is that?

 

[headkittens]

Hey guys, I played for a few hours normally, but today, when I tried to play again, the game opened and then immediately displayed an error. I closed the game and noticed that when I opened it with a different profile, it worked normally. Did I use some kind of cheat that caused this issue? Because it seems that this ended up causing the error. Do you recommend not using any kind of cheat to avoid this kind of situation? Now I'll have to start all over again…

Oh, and how do I delete a specific save? I don't want to have to delete my entire profile on the Switch.

You can recover the save with a python tool mentioned a few times in this thread
https://github.com/azalea-w/plza-recovery

You can use JKSV to manage the save on switch hardware, soft modded or hard modded, or delete buried in the Switch settings menu I think?

My understanding is it's caused by using item codes for items you don't have, but has been reported related to other codes, I've managed to avoid save corruption.

Oof left the computer too long and not only has the thread gone on without me, but the web tool is up now

It is false detection, it is just a text file

I know you're posting to help someone else, but the creator of the PLZA Recovery tool actually made a web version that's far easier to use:

im taking the silence as a no?

I have no interest with online play - I just transferred to test on Switch 2 version to see if it is worth.

I think that save would be problematic if member have different profile ID for emunand and it means save wouldn't be safe to run if transfer to NAND. I don't know if CFW has tool to allow the members to export their profile ID to emunand, so it would help to make save looks like from same user.

My statement is only based on assumption if save is come from same profile ID in both emunand and NAND. It can be used in online as long as there is no illegal Pokémon in possession and I don't know if they have additional integrity check - the members would have to take a risk if they want to proceed with this routine. If no ingame ban nor console ban for very long time - it is presumed to be safe.

I don't condone the cheating in multiplayer, but it is fine for single player. I do think that heavily use rare candies make Pokémon stats look like weird.

At the moment, unless you can figure out how to trade with another save, there is no workaround other than just catching the evolutions.

 

[Hayato213]

You should be able to do trade with 2 emulators
