I keep looking online for a solution to this issue, and I see that everyone recommends editing the save file with PKhex, but I don't know how to dump the save file from the actual cartridge and then put the edited file back on (this would be easy if it was just an emulator save). Could a GBA cartridge flasher be used to do this if it connects the cartridge to a PC? With all the dead links and ancient forum posts I've had to wade through, I'm getting a bit frustrated. Does anyone have any experience with fixing this issue on the original release cartridges as opposed to an emulator or flash cart?
