I’ll also post a update here and a link to my save if you need to look at it

To add on to this I tried booting pokemon saphire on a different emulator and it didn’t want to use the save from this emulator

From the readme page:

Most emulators output EEPROM saves differently than what open_agb_firm expects, making them incompatible. Fortunately, they are very easy to fix, using https://exelotl.github.io/gba-eeprom-save-fix/ by exelotl.

The tool also works vise versa, if you want to use a save generated by open_agb_firm with an emulator.

So you should convert your save back and forth to load it into pkhex to fix this issue.

Ok good to know thanks just what type of rom save does open agb use?

btl200 commented 1 year ago

Question could any of the advanced options make it so I won’t have to change the .save type in the future and if so could you help me walk through doing it

btl200 commented 1 year ago

Never mind I have 100 percent figured it out

For the record: Pokemon games use flash savegames. They need no conversion. And the savegames are located in "/3ds/open_agb_firm/saves".
