I'm using VBA (Virtual Boy Advance) emulator. When I play Pokemon Fire Red, and a few other games, it says my save file is corrupt. Anyone know how to fix it?
PS: If I get a different emulator, is there a way for me to transfer my save state to the new emulator?
Strange... never ran into that problem. Yeah, try another emulator or a version before the one you have, if it still runs into the same problem of the save files being corrupted, then I guess you might have to start a new save... Hard to tell without looking at them...
Ok, my bad. Not the "save file." But, the actual in-game save. Like I'll pause the game, select save, and it'll tell me it's corrupted. The save states work fine.
Yes, the .sgm files, save slot files. Read that PM I sent ya. ;)Quote:

yeah, I have the same issue too. I thought at first it was just because I'd converted the save file from no$, except it didn't fix when I resaved, and when I converted back to no$ the error showed once and fixed itself when I resaved there.
Granted, yes, savestates are just fine for most things, and I convert back to no$ for things like time-based events ('low battery') and for avoiding having my save deleted after I beat the elite 4.
'course, if anyone had solutions to those problems it'd be nifty, but I'm quite happy switching.
Wait...so, deleting the save after the Elite Four is a known problem? That's what's happening to me.
How do you transfer savegames from VBA to no$gba, if that's one way of getting around it?
Just select file-->export-->export battery file in vba, and have it export the file to the BATTERY folder no$ makes.
'course, I much prefer vba otherwise, so I switch right back using a converter.
It's also important to note that as far as I know, you have to export it before it tells you its been deleted, so if you don't have a backup savestate or something you might be out of luck...
Thanks so much -- that's a huge help, I was in despair that I might never get to see the Battle Frontier.
oh, thanks; now I have a better Idea of what the problem is with the pokemon games, on another thread someone else is having some issues with saving.
also do not use cheat codes might corruped the save
