Wow, this is amazing. It's come so far from the last time I visited this project. Great work!

Hey Chase. I was wondering why I get an unknown save type error. It's a clean rom. A normal save from an R4.

 

[alidsl]

try using a different rom

What do you mean a different ROM. It's a save issue, isn't it?

your sav should work. im using an r4 too and it works for me.

Well it doesn't for me. Can you upload me your pokemon save and your PPSE-DS?
I want to see if it's just my R4.

Despite my best intentions, it still gets used for things like this. -.-

How exactly do you inject save files back into a commercial rom (I would love to fix my pokemon game, I accidentally did something extremely stupid...)?

 

[Whooosh]

Chase-san, i know you have alot on your plate but just a suggestion . . . .

Once you'v rebuilt the homebrew and added pid generator [shiney, alternate forms ect.]

Would be it possible that there could be a file in root of your flashcart, called "pkmn files"[or anything really] in which you could put pkmn files. So that pokesav_ds can find them and thay can be injected into the sav.


Dont know if its possible but it would be really awesome

i think he used action replay media thing. it can backup your savs like, 6 times. [6 backup savs]

NDS Backup Tool by Rudolph.

There are Slot-2, WiFi, and 3-in-1 versions, and each allows you to dump ROMs and Saves from a retail cart to a flashcart, and also allows you to upload saves to the retail cart. Pretty damn awesome, since it lets me copy my saves from my games onto my flashcart, so I can play all my games with the saves all on one cart.

Yeah, that would be pretty sweet for easily cloning loads of pokemon from one save to another. But I can imagine this being a lot harder than a PID gen, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Actually a PKM import export funciton is fairly straight forward, mostly laziness in that case. Hopefully eventually.

r11 is taking so long because I have rewritten almost the entirety of the entire application. From the ground up. (this means the graphics system as well). However once I finish the toolkit (all that is left is the kana board, the list box, and a screen widget), I can start back on the real application.

Aha, still no help on my invalid save type problem?
I have a clean rom and my save is 512k.

I am not sure, make sure your using r10, older versions were a little funky with the save loading (at least to a point, I might of fixed it around r7, r8, or r9). If it doesn't load at all, and it doesn't say I/O ERROR or LOAD FAILED or something like that and instead says "UNKNOWN SAVE" or something to that effect, then its something with your carts save type thats causing problems.

I haven't used my R4 in awhile, but last I checked it worked on there. So try fiddling with your save settings if possible. If its not possible, I am not sure what to say, try a different game version if you have copies dumped.

Not sure what else to say, if its dumping a raw save, it should be fine.
