Not a valid ROM/Recover data

[Darren991027]

Hi guys, I lost my played halfway ROM, and it was accidentally deleted.
So i transfer the same ROM from the computer and open it, it says: 'This ROM is not a valid ROM'

Any idea about this?

And i had lost my ROM, so those the DraStic have some backup files to recover my file anyway?
I really need to recover those saves...

Thanks alot,
Sorry, bad english

if by backup you meant saves then yes.

the ingame saves (saves in the game) are stored in sdcard/drastic/backup while savestates (saves using the app) are in sdcard/drastic/savestates.

you can just make/get another copy of your rom and you would still have your data (unless they too had been corrupted.).

uhm hi thanks i had backup my ROM

Now the second problem is i was playing Pokemon Black and i need to transfer it to PC to play
Then i press 'X' Then 'Save', it was the manual save.
Then i take my Pokemon Black ROM to PC and use a DS Emulator to open it but it was a new game...

So how can i get my previous file on my PC?

thanks in advance

what emulator do you use? if its desmume, you can get the save file (it ends with .dsv) in the battery folder. copy this and paste it on the backup folder on sdcard/drastic.

uhm sorry for my english

I am playing Pokemon Black on DraStic, so if i need to play my Pokemon Black on PC (desmune),
so what should i do?

Should i copy the file.dsv from sdcard/drastic and paste it to where?

you can paste it on desmume/battery
take note that the latest desmume (0.9.10) seems to use 1kb more of data for their saves so use desmume 0.9.9 for more compatibility.

Thanks uhm sorry,

i had copy and paste Pokemon Black.dsv on desmune/battery,

How do i open it on desmune? ><

[Jay Haru]

open your game and there will be a continue when you start it. thats the dsv file.

i had placed Pokemon Black.dsv on C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Battery

I open desmune, i go file>open rom, and it comes out a new game, can i know did i do anything wrong?

thanks
