How to Un-Corrupt Pokemon Games for the GBA
Everyone knows those moments where find a glitch an start to exploit it right? Well, sorry to break it to you but it’ll corrupt your save file! And you can never figure out how to get it back to normal!
Well, I don’t know if this is luck or a Technical Error but I fixed my file when it was corrupt and I’ll be willing to share the technique!
So first I’m going to tell a story of how I figured it out but if you don’t give a crap then just skip to where I explain exactly how to do it.
Okay, so it’s common knowledge that you have to trade in order to get certain Pokemon right? Well I was going to trade a Master Ball over to my copy of Pokemon Fire Red from Leaf Green with a Pokemon I thought that I didn’t have, so I have it to that Pokemon and then proceeded to trade it but then thought for a split second, “Bro, you’re gonna need that for a legendary and I can just trade over my other Master Ball from Pokemon Colosseum.” So as a unknowing person who doesn’t know how Video Game Processing works then I unplugged the Link Cable and reset both games but when I checked both of the games then I saw that they both had the Master Ball equiped so I tried it again but when I went back to the Front Menu from reseting it showed the Corrupt Save File message but luckily it didn’t destroy the Save File. So then I just got mad and turn it on and off again and again and when I checked again it didn’t show the message and it went to my save file without any Error messages.
STEP 1:
Check to see if the File is Corrupted, if not then this is no help to you.
STEP 2:
If the file IS corrupted then turn off the GBA.
STEP 3:
Continue to turn it on and off again for about 15 to 20 times and then let it get to the Game Menu.
And if this didn’t work then repeat STEP 2 and 3 until it does work.
