Failed to save the game Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

Citra Support
#1

Issue:
So i recently started streaming Shiny hunting on Pokemon Alpha Sapphire on twitch. Due to me not having the funds to pay for a caputre card, i decided to extract my save file from the cartridge and run it via Citra. This worked perfectly fine and made for a good stream.

However when i ended it and tried to save the game through the ingame save option, i got the message saying “failed to save the game”. I looked around the internet and it said that I needed to update my drivers, i spend the last hour or so going through all my drivers and updating them. This resulted in nothing however and I am kinda lost on ways to figuere this out, because the excisting threads aren’t of much use to me.

I am currently using the Save state option in Citra, which is perfectly fine, but i would love to eventually transfer back the save file onto the cartridge, so i can transfer the obtained shinies through Pokémon home. I know i could use PKHex to gen these Pokémon into my save file, using the data provided by the files ingame, but i would prefer if i could just transfer the entire save file over.

My two main questions are: Is there a fix to the failed save error? If this isn’t the case, is there a way to convert a save state into a “main” file that is transferable onto a cartridge?

Thanks in advance!

Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • Enabling Accurate Multiplication is recomended in certain games. If you are experiencing graphical glitches, try enabling this option.

your framelimit is in 0… and it is better to use resolution factor as Native(400x240) your’s in 2xNative(800x480)…
