Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering something about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (U). I started the game unable to save, but just ignored that and saved using the VBA save and load. I got pretty far into my game, but now realize I can't get any wondermails or be at the starting screen. I also realize that there were posts like this before, but I think the case was slightly different. So I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread, and was able to save on a new save file. However when I load my old file, I still can't save. Now my question is, is there any way I'll be able to save on my old file? Or will I have to start over? Thanks very much.
