ROM Hack FAQ: PokeSav

[Nakura]

Alright I'm definitely getting N-Cart XD Thanks again guys. If all else fails I guess I'll just use a Pearl "back-up" and transfer Pokemon between the two.

 

[Nakura]

Oh one last question. Does the N-Cart work on Wifi?

 

[thegame07]

thats one thing im not sure on i dont have wifi

 

[Deaddy]

If you want an alternative when looking at flash carts, my G6 Lite works great for both downloading/uploading saves between the G6 and legit game cards, and taking the save file back and forth with Pokesav usage. I think it's on sale now that the slot 1 cards are coming out.

 

[thegame07]

he doesn't want to buy a passcard or anything. I think hes found a solution anyway to get his save file from the retail card. The g6 is still more expensive than the n card thats not even including a passcard.

I'm pretty sure all flash kits work with Wifi.

Hmm... unsure if this is the place to ask, but here goes:

Alright, I have the tool to convert my AR DS MAX saves to the format accepted by PokeSav, but my AR doesn't recognize Pearl when I try to backup the save to my computer. Is there something I can do, solder some pins, etc. to get it to recognize Pearl?

 

[poonti]

When I downloaded it onto my AR it said Pokemon Diamond (JAP) even though I used the English PokeSav. And it won't work. Can someone help me?> Can someone please answer my question?

 

[BakuFunn]

is ur rom jap?

 

[poonti]

No I don't think so.

 

[cheezbunny]

how can you resize the Pokesav program's window? it's too big for my screen, and the bottom sections are covered up.

 

[r999]

Can someone please help me? I'm having some trouble with the save files. When I open the .SAV file, 512kb, into the POKÉSAV program, version 0.38b, I receive the following error: Wrong file type!

I have followed the instructions exactly the way they were told and I am using the No$GBA emulator version 2.4A

Why is it working with everybody else, and not with me?

Just for the info, here is everything I have:
- A 512 KB .SAV file;
- Windows XP Home;
- A no$GBA Emulator, version 2.4a;
- POKÉSAV program, version 0.38b;
- An error while opening the .SAV file, before and after convertion, in the POKÉSAV program.

Please help

I take it you're using it with a No$GBA save. The reason you're getting an error is because the save format of No$GBA is compressed and as such will throw an error with PokeSav. Turning off save compression should fix the proble, there's another post in this thread that explains how to do this.

Hi guys i have got a problem:

1)First of all im using supercard rumble mini sd
2) i have the latest firmware (1.7)
3) the 2.58 converter patched with the required .dat file
4) and all the conversion settings in default

Every time i save my pokemon pearl game and then restart it it shows me a black screen (as soon as i click "continue game") and the wifi led is blinking.. and when i convert the pkmn diamond and start the game in my supercard it shows a white screen and the game doesnt even start... thns in advance.. any help would be appreciated!!

 

[m2pt5]

As for the wifi LED blinking, that's because every time you go from the title screen to the main menu, the wifi is active for a couple seconds; this is how you receive the Manaphy egg from Ranger and how Mystery Gift gets remotely activated without doing it in-game.

Try starting your game with a started 512k save. Grab one of these, use this to convert it into a 512k R4 save, then rename the resulting file to match your patched ROM and start a new game with it.

 

[MoBoRoS]

Its no use... i tried this and i tried even 1mb saves.. i used all the default settings of the conversion, i changed many them according to many peoples oppinions but nothing happens..
every time i put in a save it is as if it can't read it...

Please help..

 

[m2pt5]

Rename both the patched rom and the save file. (You can do as little as adding a space before the dot, but make the same change to both.) Then try again.

 

[MoBoRoS]

Nothing happened bro... now what?

im hopeless

 

[m2pt5]

That's as far as I can offer any help, then. I only have a Supercard SD and an R4, not a SCLite, and it works perfectly on both of mine. (I can even take the save from one and use it with the other.)

is Flash me my last hope?
