I'm having some issues trying to import a save to Pokemon Silver VC. Whenever I attempt to import a save of mine normally used on an emulator, it'll give me an error message reading "The save file is corrupted and will be initialized". I'm guessing I may need to do some hex tweaking with the save file in order to fix this issue, but I have zero experience in hex editing. Is there anyone else that's having this problem with the recent G/S VC releases?

highlight and delete the last two lines in bottom of the save file in Hex Editing program.

Hey Yall, long time reader, first time poster...

I have JKSM and I am trying to pull a save file into a CIA of Pokemon sun. I go into the new CIA version and get to the first same spot, then I try and import my save. When i do it says it completes, but when i go back into the game it starts from the beginning having me pick a language. Any ideas?

I have a Gateway and a cia save with 3 files: common.bmssv, pkprfl.bmssv, samus.bmssv.
I would like to convert this cia save to Gateway save (.sav). Is it possible with JKSM ? If it is possible, could someone explain me where I need to put these files on SD card, and which options I need to use with JKSM to convert it to .sav ? Would be nice.

JKSM does not convert save files. I do not know what you need to use.

I haven't tried, but have you tried injecting it right after backing it up. Also padding the file to the exact size of the 3DS version's save. Yellow always gave me issues unless it did both.

Try removing the last 2 lines of the file within the hex editor you use and import that file using JKSM. I think thats whats been causing that error to appear.

You only need to pad/remove lines in HxD if you're swapping saves between an emulator and VC. If you're making changes to it in PKHeX or other, you need to delete "secure data" before restoring the save. Otherwise if you're just exporting/importing it should work just fine.

Edit 2: Wow I'm dumb. File hierarchy was wrong. I knew it would be something simple. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Also having issues with Pokemon Gold. I exported the save from my 3DS VC using JKSM, edited it slightly in PKHex, and now when I try to reinject, it says the save is corrupt and needs to be reinitialized. I'm not trying to pull a save from an emulator. It's going straight from VC to PKHex and back. I've looked at the two files now (backup and edited) in HxD and they both look the same. The last lines are the same. Only difference I see is the original has offset 0 and the new one has offset 800C, and I have absolutely no idea what that means.

Edit: I just tried to reinject the original file I pulled as a backup and I'm getting the same error. This is some serious garbage.

Any help?
