How to hack your Pokemon Save File Instructions

Okay, I figured this out.

1. Go to your NO$GBA BATTERY folder and copy your save file somewhere else in order to back it up in case you mess up.

2. Open NO$GBA.ini in notepad, scroll down to the line:
SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
and change it to:
SAV/SNA File Format == Uncompressed

3. Open No$GBA (make sure your save type in NO$GBA is FLASH 512 kbytes) and continue your game. Save the game, and then quit NO$GBA. Check the size of your save file in the BATTERY folder. It should be over 500kb.

3. Use the follow program to convert your save file, it will remove the first 76 bytes of your save:
Freeware - No$GBA > VBA Battery Converter | KermEd@Gmail.com
To use it, click the "Configure" button and set the directory to where your new big save file is. In the empty text box named "New .sav File" enter a name for the new file you will make. Now select your Pokemon save and press convert file. It will create a new save file with the name you typed in.

4. Download the Pokemon save editor:
RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting
Open your new converted save file (the one you made in step 3) with it, and when you are done cheating your ass off, click save. Now take the new save file you just cheated with, and put it in your NO$GBA save folder. Now name it the same name of your original pokemon save, so that NO$GBA will load it when you play the game. That's all. Now I shall enjoy my 99 of every TM, and I had a sex change just for the hell of it.

Lastly, once you use your hacked save in NO$GBA and save, you will not be able to hack it again right away. Once you have used your hacked save in NO$GBA and saved, you must use the NO$GBA>VBA converter, then hack.





Proposed Alternative Method:
1. Go to your NO$GBA BATTERY folder and copy your save file somewhere else in order to back it up in case you mess up.

2. Open NO$GBA.ini in notepad, scroll down to the line:
SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
and change it to:
SAV/SNA File Format == Raw (it does not need to be converted and you just have to change the save type mentioned below)

3. Open No$GBA (make sure your save type in NO$GBA is FLASH 512 kbytes (or in the case of no$gba 2.6a set to Auto)) and continue your game. Save the game, and then quit NO$GBA. Check the size of your save file in the BATTERY folder. It should be over 500kb.

4. Pokesav.org

This is for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. The VBA save converter is used because all it does is remove the first 27 bytes of the NO$GBA save file, so you can use it with the save file editor.
is not 25bytes, it's 76bytes (h4c) you can remove by just hex editing.

by the way, good tool XD

Do u guys know when we will be able to "save state" ?
And when will the % will work normally ?
wrong thread dude :angry:

EDIT: I did it again and again,but it didnt work!
PLZ tell me what must i do to make it right?

Here is my Way:

1.Change the SAV/SNA = From Compressed to Uncompressed
2.Saved in my Pokémon Game
3.The saved Data was 521KB
4.I converted it with the Converter the new Converted file called NewSaveFile.sav was 521KB too!
5.I hacked the Game(I made me some new Pokemons with that Editor!) then i clicked on SAVE and then i shut the Editor down.
5.I changed the Original Name of the Game like the .sav data! (NewSaveFile.sav to lgc-pkmnp.sav!)
6.Then i started the Game and looked into my Pokemon thing but i still had my old pokemon and there were no new Pokémons!

So my Question is:
1.What must i do?????????:bow: :bow: :bow:

if you have 1 pokémon, and created 2, put 3 there. SAVE. done.

Hi
Please first, forgive me if I make some mistakes, I'm french and very tired ^^"

I've done all the instructions, and I run the game, all is fine .
I just wondered if we needed to re-save the file using no$gba > VBA every time we play ? Or the first time is enough ?
I know my question might be stupid but ... I prefer ask ^^ I wish I could finish this game before he'll come in shops ^^
By the way... my game often bug at the end of a match . So I turn on the sound, wait the cry of the Pokemon, and turn off . No problem . But sometimes, when I turned the sound on, an error mess appears and end my game ! If I restart the game, my save don't work :( I tried to change the save type with no$gba>VBA just after the mess error and without restart the game, but when I want to load, the save crashed ... :( So if my game crash after any battle, how can I play ... ? :'( *cry*

Thanks for answer :thumb:
Xoxo​

you have to edit their MAX HP or else, they will have 0 max hp, and always dead.

please, the software is translated to english, try to read and test the options before you post.
