Sebbe's short return to hacking / [Not having to restart with flash-64k]

[hi sir tomato my password is syvniti]

Hey what up pc?
I discovered something neat I'll post it here instead of in the hacking area so it helps people who are not hackers.

According to the emulation FAQ, If you don't start off with flash- 128k this is your situation.

Q. "The save file has been erased due to corruption or damage." And I just beat the Elite Four. What should I do?
A. You ignored "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed.", and it is your fault. There's no way to perform an actual save, or continue after the Elite Four. In lamens terms: "You're literally screwed". You have to start all over again, but first you need to fix "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed.", which is described above.

Well, I started playing Fire Red again, and was just playing by the default setteings. I was "literally screwed" too, and decided to fix it.

I'll write a more general tutorial on how to find such results soon, but here is just how to fix the save.

1) Go Options--> Emulator --> Save Type --> FLASH 128K
2) Tools --> Memory viewer
3) A new Window opens, go to the whitebar at the top right corner and write "3005004" and press go.
4) On the first number write 01 instead of 00.

You should know be able to save using the games saving option instead of the emulators savestates.

Video, anyone?

That's interesting. By the way, I've recently gotten back into hacking, but not here... I'll send you a PM, you may really enjoy this information.

By the way, maybe you could update the FAQ. :)
Or just write a new one since the current one is full of awfull, wrong and outdated information.
