Well first of I'll start by apologizing because I do not know if this is the right forum for this.

Second of all.. My problem.
I'm in possession of a Supercard Mini SD(So a Slot 2) And a SupercardSD one (Micro SD, Slot 1)
On my SCMiniSD I played pokemon Diamond up to far beyond the elite 4, and I was hoping to be able to transfer my safe from the ScMiniSD to the SCSD:ONE.
But everytime I transfer it ( Yes mind me, I did remove the nds.sav part and just made a .sav out of it. )
It starts out with 3 badges, somewhere in a gym town and with a starly and a ? pokemon ( No not the unknown , rather missingno. ) .
Is there anyway to prevent this corruption?
I've already tried renaming the .sav to POKEMO~1.SAV, and also first saving another game before opening it.

I've also included my save file for anyone who'd like to try it out for me, or who'd like to see the type of corruption I mean.

I'd like to thank you all in advance.

Thanks for your reply,

But I did ^^. And it still came out corrupted :).
Maybe it's because I'm way past the e4 or something. But it's still annoying..

*The save file that I've uploaded in my first post was converted with the use of your tool*

It's because the save file is too small, the rest of the data is on you minisd card.. the save file should be 512k, the sc patcher produces the wrong sized save file. (still not fixed in 2.60 patcher)

What you can do about it i don't know.


edit.. actually you may be able to repair the file with the "pokesav" utilty (you'll have top search for it)... load the faulty save in the utilty, add a couple of pokemon then save it... then load that saved file back and delete the pokemon you added then resave.... i think this has worked for others.
Yes I'm mad

DS SAVE TOOL can also convert saves to 512k size  :)

I know, I did that :(.

thanks anyway.

and @ add a couple of pokemon with pokesav.. this is no option either, pokesav reads the sav as corrupted too ( with a starly in the party ) :S
