Pokemon Diamond GBA Slot-2 Migration Issues
Your console: N2DS 11.13.0-45U Luma3DS 10.2 Launch Method: TwiLightMenu++ 6cc5fa04c65f257c7aac0f2f6240135df2edd0ee Version used: 73184cec27e1ff779f0f57bcd17fbfc70b826182 Game tested/used/applicable: Pokemon Diamond U Hash:02a1af2a677d101394b1d99164a8c249
Expected Behavior: When using a DS Emulator that has GBA Slot-2 enabled I should be able to migrate Pokemon from GBA save to DS save. Actual Behavior: I get an error saying that I already migrated six Pokemon when I didn't.
Steps to reproduce
Use NDS-Bootloader to start a new game and play (many hours) until you get the National Dex and go to Pal Park and save. Copy save to computer and use a DS emulator like DeSmuME to load a GBA into its SLOT-2 feature and load the DS rom and save. At main menu select to migrate and follow prompts.
Attached is a save created using NDS-bootstrap and a save from a retail cart. The retail cart save has no issues.

I found a save editor that can edit Pal Park data and the data between the 2 saves is different. I then used the editor to load 6 Pokemon into the Pal Park and caught them. Now the Pal Park data is what it should be. Somehow the nds-bootstrap didn't create the save properly or something got corrupted.

Could you say which? Incidentally, another community is researching that exactly.

I could only get Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Pal Park to work. Platinum is grayed out for some reason.

Thanks. I've used the program to assist research with inserting pokemon into the Pal Park with PKSM in at least DP, and, if my ideas are correct, all of Gen IV.
You can all now carry on with the normal issue stuff lol

Next would be being Able to inject Gen 4 Pokemon into the Black/White importer or get some way to have NDS-Bootstrap to let Black/White recognize a Slot-1 Flashcart or NDS-Bootstrap save file to allow legit importing into Gen 5.
The first wouldn't be possible (insert "That's not how any of this works" meme), as instead of a transfer program writing to the save, the Gen IV-V transfer is all in RAM, since it's done in-game on the spot.
Then we would need the gen 4 system to be able to trick the DS Download program that B/W sends over to see the gen 4 save of a specific game.
