ROM Hack FAQ: PokeSav

[Error 917]

Hey when I try to load my backed up data I cannot find the .sav file
I'm using windows XP does this have anything to do with it?

What are you talking about? You're not meant to load your "backed up data" on Pokesav... you're meant to back up your usual save file in case something goes wrong...

I have original cartrige of pokemon diamond, I want MEWTWO (also in lev1-normal stats) but i haven't in the previous game (GBA). I'm thinking to create it with this editor in lev1 but i want to do it PERFECTLY normal, i'll feed-build on my own, but i need the exact stats, info about this. I'll excanghe online with a friend (from my R4), then he'll exchange again with me but towards my ORIGINAL cartridge pokemon D.
Where can i find all the info requested in this save editor about this pokemon?
Will it works? Or my pok will be online banned?
Are there any procedure to do this in a more "regular" way?

I'm pretty sure it will work.

Just to double check. Make sure the IVS are Normal(Do NOT touch the IVS), The EVs are 85 each MAX check a guide to make sure it has legit moves, make sure it's in a legit pokeball like masterball, NOT cherishball, Make sure you put it's fromPal park and you put in a proper date on which you recieved it. Make sure you recived it at LEAST before the day Pokemon Diamond was released, which I THINK was June 19 2007 for Australia, and also give it a nature and ability "Pressure" and make sure you met it at level 70. Also, make sure you put it ON level 70 and after you're done, click All Stats and press MAX.

DO NOT, MISS ANYTHING I HAVE JUST SAID, If necessary add something more, but do NOT modify it.

Since it is going to be pal-parked it needs to have its trash bytes fixed.
and there must be a valid PID otherwise it has a chance of not going online
there is a IV PID relationship so you need to change the PID if you change the IVs and vice versa

If you are using Pokesav 0.40c then it has a built in PID/IV calculator

You can't have a level 1 mewtwo, so you need to put it at level 70 minimum

"click All Stats and press MAX" only do this in 0.40c, an earlier version will give it 999 stats

Was wondering if this works with Platnium? I know it isn't out here yet, but isn't it out in Japan? Was thinking about playing again, but wanted to change my starter though.

There is already a Platinum version of Pokesav

Hey, is there something like this for the gba versions? I have searched everywhere and cannot find such a thing.

pokemon platinum is giving me a weird problem...

i extracted the save from the original cart (but it seems to be a save that was prior to the most rescent one i saved)
then i edited with pokesav sucessfully (no problem here)
then i installed the save with nds backup tool slot 2 version (which i used to obtain the save in the first place) and the save installed sucessfully
now when i start the game... nothing is new...

my theory is that the tool extracted a late save AND then installed the late save back... not really effecting the game itself... has anyone else came across this problem of installing a save to pokemon platinum?

please i appreciate your help.

Same for me, I use M3 sd , convert .dat save to 512kb raw .sav , edit in pokesav and convert back. No changes in game but when I convert&open it in pokesav again changes are there

And I edited both save slots, and reset/played another game before I took my sd-cart out.

weirdness...

When you turn off your ds, turn it back on and wait for it to finish saving. What it is doing is saving from the internal temperal memory onto your sd card. THEN you could successfully edit it.

That's what I do, see bold text, which makes it all the more mystifying

But thx for reply, nice to see people are willing to help

pokesav is awesome

 

[jacob.bercovich]

how do i make a action replay code?

 

[sheely69]

can any 1 tell me why i cant pick complete pokedex on pokesav platinum version

 

[Eon-Rider]

can any 1 tell me why i cant pick complete pokedex on pokesav platinum version

I believe it's because the feature hasn't been built in.

 

[Pavichokche]

This program is too awesome!!! I used to think that it only makes AR codes and I was having some trouble running those codes off my acekard 2i, and then I found out that it actually edits your SAVE FILE (the name makes sense now!)!!! anyway, whoever made this program is quite smart!

 

[Jugiatsu]

My question now is, with the latest version of the Platinum editor (.06d I believe) can we say, load our save file, open up one of our party pokemon, and edit its IVs and EVs to max now without having to worry about the online/Wi-Fi check? Or do I have to keep all my IVs and EVs under 31 and 255?

Sorry but I dont quite understand what people were talking about earlier in posts back from 2007 about how Metwo cant have 31 IVs in certain stats, or his EVs must be below 85 yadda yadda. Anyone able to explain or clarify a little better?

 

[benbop1992]

is there a program which lets me change witch pokemon are in my pokedex
