Hi I have been trying to open a Pokemon Volt White DSV save file, but it keeps telling me the ROM is invalid despite having an nds file that opens the ROM is there something I am doing wrong or can I just not play this file anymore I have attached a word doc with screengrabs of the error messages I am getting ?

a DSV file is not a rom. Stop opening a DSV file as a ROM.

clean up all garbage from failed attempts

load the NDS

watch where it drops the dsv

close desmume

replace the dsv with the one you want to use
