Well, I don't really know where to put this but since I'm guessing the problem is with my save file, I'll take a chance and put it here. Might've rambled too much, btw.
TL;DR- I can only have 1 backup regardless of the max backup number setting. Save file below. Video: https://youtu.be/QzG9ool1mNg
I downloaded and finished (not 100%, of course) Reborn (E15) on last year's vacation. No problem there. But, after downloading E16, I decided to do some prep before actually starting the E16 story. To be more accurate, I decided to trash (sounds kinda harsh lol) my old mess of a team while also doing some sidequests I had missed. In the process of exploring, capturing, soft-resetting[It's an inherent part of Pokémon, don't look at me like that.]/tactical episode-switching[sorry!], etc., I noticed my backups were kinda weird. I ignored it at first but then I realized that, in E16, I couldn't have more than one backup at a time despite having already messed with the backup options! [This is outrageous! How am I supposed to save s.....trategize? I'm totally not trying to abuse the system!]
Alright, so I switched to E16 to catch pokémon that are in E16 but not E15, explore areas that seemed incomplete in E15 (Chrysolia Springs, for instance) and to (ab)use the speedup feature, but I didn't stay in E16 because I wanted to avoid spoilers.
Backing up works the way I think it should if I move my saves elsewhere and start a new game. But get this: if I don't move my saves, I get the option to either continue or start a new game (or to acess the options or to quit the game); if I start a new game, it preserves the settings (and the problem) from my main save and thus backups don't work. [Or at least that's what I think is happening. Why didn't I put that in the video? Because I just found that out and it's late at night.]
I might've gone back to E14 once to get a Marill from the police officer egg but that was last year and there's no way that has something to do with backups. Besides that and jumping between E15 and E16 willy-nilly, I don't recall doing anything else that might've broken my save file.
Also, I used Dig or an Escape Rope or something in the Obsidia Slums and now I can't hop from one ledge to another. (Only tried in E15, though.)
I think I'm ready to stay in E16, so could you, the reader of this needlessly long post, try to fix the 2 problems (backup thingy and Obsidia Slums not being able to hop on ledges glitch) in my save file if possible?
EDIT1: Bump. I have a temporary fix for the backup thing but it's kinda inconvenient (3 different files needed, like wth). Btw, is it bad to copy the main Game.rxdata while the game is running? Because thats what I'm doing. Also, the Obsidia Slums dig/escape rope bug fixed itself somehow? Idk. If nobody knows a better fix to the backup thing, then the topic may be closed.
EDIT2: Don't worry about it and thanks for tryng to help, Njab, but since the Obsidia Slums thing just felt like working for some reason and the temporary fix isn't too much of a nuisance, the topic may be closed. (Also I've already started E16, so yeah, old save file and it's only gonna get older.)
