I've tried three or four times to transfer the Gold clear code to a new game of TLA and I keep getting an invalid password error!

I used a modified Golden Sun rom that was patched with a leveling code and attribute modifier boosting codes to beat the game.

Could this have messed up the sav file in some way and made the password unrecognizable to TLA? I'm thinking something like values that are higher than TLA will recognize which makes the password invalid.

Thx for any help anyone can give.

That depends on if you used a gold, silver, or bronze password.

Hacked stats have no bearing on giving you an error, it is always a user input error.


If you really want error free transfers, you should use the transfer cable. Codes are case sensitive so if you wrote down say a lower case c instead of a capitol C it can jack your code and invalidated all of it. All you can do is double check your code, there are 6 pages of code for a gold code so any messup is possible.

If double checking doesn't work, just make some minor changes like selling some junk at the shop. This will produce a completely new password, then try again.

Okay, that's good to know! Was worried I'd have to backtrack through some of the harder maps.

Was sure everything was right, but my handwriting is seriously screwed up, even I can't read it! Found more errors.

Even though I cheated, I'd rather use my character stats as I played them...thanks for the link though. If all else fails, I'll definately go that way.


Well, when I try again I think I'm just going to type everything to the PC via a notepad file and then read it from there...it should go without any probs then. Those '+' and t's were tricky!



Thx for the suggestions all!

Since you're going this way, look at this FAQ. Search for ´* Save raw password characters...:´.
But, I´ll be nice and copy 'n paste it for you:

'* Save raw password characters...:
This option is for those playing on emulators that have a memory-editor
available that can load data from a file. It will save you the trouble of
entering in the passwords yourself. Pretty nice, no? ;-) I will use
Visual Boy Advance as a reference here. Here's how it works:

1. Once you have a password, choose this menu option. You will be
presented with a save dialog allowing you to choose what folder you
will save the file in and to name the raw password memory-dump file.

2. Next, start up your emulator (or bring it back up), load the game or
reset it, and get to the password entry screen for the appropriate
type of password (gold, silver, or bronze).

3. Once the game is on the right password entry screen, open the
emulator's memory-editor. The location of this option will depend on
the emulator you are using, if it's supported at all. If not, you
won't be able to make use of this menu option. (In Visual Boy Advance,
look under "Tools | Memory Viewer...")

4. Choose the "Load" option on the memory editor. If there isn't one, you
won't be able to make any use of this menu option.

5. Use the dialog to navigate to where you saved the raw password data
file earlier and choose that file.

6. When you are prompted for an address, type in the hex number
"0200A74A". (don't enter the quote marks, of course). This number
must be exact, so be sure to enter it correctly (lower case is OK).

7. Now, close the memory editor and return to the game. Your password
should magically appear. :-) Just move the cursor to "Finish" and
press the "A" button (or just press Start). Not too bad, hmm? :^D

If the password didn't appear, then you almost certainly made a mistake
when entering that number in. If this happens, reset the game and
get back to the appropriate password entry screen. Then, go back to
Step 3.'
That's much easier!

Wait, if you're using an emulator, wouldn't it be much simpler to just link the two games together?
Or are these using a different link cable?

... Sigh...

I'm gonna repeat.

If you're using an emulator, why not just connect the two games together directly?
Unless these two use a different sort of link cable, but I doubt it.
