The 'Save States' folder has a file labeled 'Pokemon Emerald1.sgm' that gives me an 'Unknown file type' error when I try to open it with VBA and the 'Battery Saves' folder has a file labeled 'Pokemon Emerald.sav' that also gives me an 'Unknown file type' error when I try to open it with VBA.Īlso, I know that this question was answered previously by Jerry, but he answered the question if it was being run on a PC. After quitting the emulator and returning later, however, I had only the 'New Game' and 'Options' selections at the main Pokemon menu. The saves seemed to work successfully and no errors popped up when I saved the game. I was playing Pokemon Emerald and saving via the in-game save option (not using the 'Freeze state'). 1.7.6 and am having trouble loading saved game states. I am on a MacBook Pro running Maverick and I recently downloaded Visual Boy Advance v.
