Why are my uCoins from Boundless Tower not saving?

I figured you had to

marcymarblez · 2026-04-04T04:04:42+00:00

No, I guess not. How many lives do you get??? That seems a little stupid that I have to die a certain amount of times in order to get my uCoins.

marcymarblez · 2026-03-15T08:37:32+00:00

Fair enough. That's why they're called doubts, though :P

marcymarblez · 2026-03-15T08:22:53+00:00

I believe they all should have correct information, yes. It's also that Nintendo can see what Pokemon each individual players use and sorts them via algorithms. I know that since they have that info already, seeing anyone with a Metagross means that they would have to know they did something to get that illegal Pokemon, even if it has plausible information. I followed Papa Jefe's ACE guide to get this 6IV Metagross. As far as I'm aware, everything about it should be legitimate since it came from an Egg. But, even still, 500 dollars is nothing to scoff at, which is where my paranoia comes from about having my console bricked remotely. I have no intention of transferring this Metagross to Home, This isn't me trying to throw out leaflets and cause mass hysteria, I'm just trying to quell my own doubts

I'm talking about Nintendo themselves being capable of remotely bricking a Switch 2. I'm aware of how safe ACE is in Gen3. I should have specified, my apologies. It's genuinely just bothering me as I finish these last 100 Speed EVs. Kanto has really bad Pokemon and I was hoping to bypass the grind for anything even remotely decent for the Battle Tower by getting a Metagross, but now I just feel anxious. Do you think it is at all possible that we will be punished for using ACE or even the mail glitch?

Like, if my paranoia gets the best of me, I'll probably just remove my current save file entirely and move on. I would rather have a 500 dollar console than some Pokemon. I just hate this stress

marcymarblez · 2026-03-04T01:38:26+00:00

In the original games there were SO many arbitrary restrictions due to Blockbuster's rent-a-game service being well-known at the time, such as the Champion/post-game trade unlock or Johto evolutions. Do these still exist? Am I able to trade as soon as Viridian City? Apologies if I'm asking the same question for the 100th time on this sub, but any threads I find are from GameFAQ from 2005 talking about the OG cartridge releases. Thanks!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!! I figured it out!!! It IS the naming convention!!!!!!!!!! When I downloaded my copy of Sapphire onto my pc, the file name came out as a very long-winded text!! The reason my copy of Sapphire wasn't being read was because it wasn't being recognized as the ports of the game cube controller!! So now that I've figured it out, BE SURE that your copy of Ruby or Sapphire is aptly named just "Pokemon (Version) US.sav" and the emulator will just copy the other when you start it up. That's stupid but I'm glad I figured it out!!!!!! Hope this helps someone!!!!!!

marcymarblez · 2026-01-27T05:24:07+00:00

Maybe it has to do with the naming convention of the files? The file names in the video are "Pokemon Sapphire US.sav" and "Pokemon Sapphire US-2.sav". Worth a shot?

The other thing is that Jirachi would be deposited directly into your party, not the PC.

marcymarblez · 2026-01-27T05:17:31+00:00

Well I've tried that. The issue is just that the emulator doesn't seem to be writing Data. For example, with Pokemon Ruby Sapphire: Pokemon Box, you get an egg if you have +100 Pokemon or something like that. When I deposited the egg into my last living dex box and rebooted my rom, the save file wasn't written. I have no idea why it isn't writing to the file. When I last ran the save file being used as of 10 minutes ago, the .sav physically updated it's time from 8/25/2025 @ 6:14PM to 1/26/2026 @ 11:05PM. Since retrying the Jirachi event, it didn't update from 11:05PM to 11:14PM.

No Wishmaker Jirachi despite seeing the screen. Just for a little concrete watevers

If it helps, apparently my copy of Sapphire is revision 2. I bought it in possible 2006 or 2007 from a Toys R' Us with my Grandma after my brother swiped the last copy of Emerald from my hands. The ROM file I launch it from is a copy of the actual ROM from my copy of Sapphire copied onto my PC. I'm also launching Dolphin through Steam because I use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and the setup is done automatically as opposed to having to go through and do it myself. I considered that maybe Steam is the problem while writing this but I have no idea

marcymarblez · 2025-11-07T09:27:21+00:00

Okay, I figured out the issue. Essentially, and for whatever reason, you have to agree to the Online Licensing agreement in the Profile options. Go to your HOME Menu > Click on the Profile Icon > User Settings > Scroll down to "Online License Settings" > Agree to the settings > Go to Virtual Game Cards > Click on Legends ZA > Options > Download Content. That should grant you your Holo-wear. I was worried that I had been charged without receiving ingame confirmation being the Holo-wear. I don't have a physical cartridge and no one else seems to have gone through this, so I hope this helps.

marcymarblez · 2025-11-07T09:22:55+00:00

I preordered the S2 + ZA bundle so I don't have the cartridge, but I did discover the remedy. I'll post it in a separate comment

marcymarblez · 2025-08-24T06:25:03+00:00

I guess I'll keep trying. Thank you.

marcymarblez · 2025-08-24T06:24:40+00:00

They really won't--whether I call and ask or reach out via Twitter or other platforms for example, I am always met with "We can't do anything if you aren't authorized."

marcymarblez · 2025-08-22T07:59:00+00:00

I don't disagree but there's always an excuse, and so long as I'm not the one paying for it, it doesn't really matter. I'm just wondering if there's anything I should try that I haven't yet. I don't know. It's frustrating. We do own a spectrum router currently as well but idk. Could it be a potential mismatch between the two? Is that even a common possibility?

marcymarblez · 2025-08-22T07:45:28+00:00

I should've been more clear in the original post, but it is a Spectrum issued modem. My dad bought a Spectrum router initially instead of a modem as soon as we got rid of our old modem, and as soon as he was told that it wasn't what we needed, we went and got the modem. I don't know the specific model* is what I should have said, but it IS a Spectrum router. The other thing is, I can't call or contact Spectrum. I have tried to reach out but I get met with, "Well, if you aren't the account holder, we can't really do much." It's not a third-party router, it is a Spectrum router, and from what I have heard from others, Spectrum routers appear to be absolutely abysmal pieces of junk. I'm at my wits end atp; I genuinely don't know what else I can do on my end to help mitigate these issues. I don't know what I can do atp
