Unable to Properly Dump Saves #16

Closed ReclaimerShawn closed 5 years ago

I have a US copy of Pokemon Emerald (BPEE01) and my I have a Gameboy SP Model AGS-101. I'm using a TOMEE Gamecube to Gameboy Advance Link cable. Using my Homebrewed Wii, I'm able to launch this homebrew, but only after making a meta and icon file for it for the Homebrew Launcher. After starting it, I'm able to send the Link Cable dumper program through to my Gameboy. Only problem is whenever I backup the save I get a 128KB File (proper size for Emerald) that is full of nothing but garbage data. Attempting to restore the garbage save deletes the save file. Attempting to load an actual save not generated by this program also clears the save file. I've tried booting the program on the Gameboy through Start+Sel and just leaving the game out and inserting it. I've tried versions v1.1 and v1.6 of your Homebrew and the same thing happens. I will attach the save extracted below.

It's most likely the fact I'm using a non-OEM link cable. I looked at the first issue on here and saw that. I'll close this issue now.
