You know what, nvm, it seems after I deleted the save file on my SD card, I edited a back up and it worked! Thanks for helping me (or at least trying toÂ). The only thing I'll have to do is keep doing this as a cycle everytime I want to hack the save file...
Nice to hear that. Just remember that it is the combination deleting the .SAV + loading the ROM what worked. Probably just deleting the save and replacing it with the edited one is not enough as this wouldn't be different from what you were doing before.
