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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.)
