Hey all,
The other day I bought a Game Boy Micro (Japanese 20th Anniversary Famicom edition!) and the seller kindly brought his copy of ShinyGold for me to test. After testing the Micro, I caved and bought the game too.
I'm curious though, how can I go about backing up the save file? I tried the same GBA utility (GBA Backup Tool v0.21) that I've used on my other GBA games and it doesn't work. Just for testing purposes I backed up my copy of Emerald and it worked, but ShinyGold failed 3 attempts. Every time I load the game, it says "the save has been deleted..."
I tried loading the save in VBA-M v2.0.0, mGBA 0.6.3-win32, mGBA 0.7.2-win64, my DSTWO's NDSGBA and even TEMPGBA to no avail. My Emerald save backup read just fine in VBA-M so I didn't bother with the other emulators for that.
According to the backup tool, the ROM hack is based off Pokemon Ruby.
Here's a picture I have of the cartridge.
(Look at this beauty!)
