I've been using in game saves for Pokemon Leaf Green for (According to the game) about 40 hours now. I was trying to get Articuno and I saved right before, but I accidentally hit "File" -> "Load" Instead of "Open" and it took me to the game I wrote over (Using In Game Saves) that was way back at the beginning.
I got the game from a kid at school by copying the VBA Emulator from his Flash Drive to mine, then to my comp. So he must've saved using the Emulator, and I accidentally loaded that.
Can I get back to my game? Please? For the love of God, please?

Yeah, just open the game and load your last save game ingame.

I tried that, but it loads his.

So... did you save after you first accidentally loaded his save game?

Nope. I knew enough to NOT do that.

OK, so when you "load ingame" are you going to File > Load or are you loading your game from the title menu?

When you were saving, how exactly were you saving?

To save in the game, I hit "Start" then "Save." Just like if it was on a real Gameboy.

And to load I'd click "File" > "Open" and then the title would pop up and I'd click "Load Game" using my designated "A" button.

Is File > Load > AutoLoad turned on?

Yes, should it be off?

masta.g.86

Yes since you are using ingame saving instead.

Ok, it's off. What now?

You know, I have Skype and Yahoo. Could we use that instead? It's quicker...

Sorry. I don't have Skype.

Have you tried loading your old save game after turning off AutoLoad yet?

Yes, it loaded the messed up one. I didn't save it, so I don't know why it's not working.

Hmmm... Well, I'm out of ideas.

I guess you might want to wait for a reply from somebody else who is a bit more familiar with VBA and GBA emulation in general. Check back in like 4 - 6 hours.

Cuz I have no idea what's going on and thus assume it's legit.

I'm confused. Can anyone help me or not?

O now I see what Squall was talking about. I had missed it earlier.

I am afraid getting a game by copying it from some Kid at school is not a legal means of getting the game and thus you will receive no support here according to the [rules]Emuforums Rules[/rules] and I will now lock this thread.
