I've been using an EF Omega DE since Christmas, and also use a EF IV.
I've noticed a recent issue with one game in particular, Pimball Challenge Deluxe. The SAV file transferred over from my EF IV with no problem, and I've been able to use it on the DE just fine. However, recently I managed to beat a score, and the DE appeared to process the save file with no problem.
When I restarted the game, my high scores are as they were before, i.e. it looks like the new scores haven't saved.
This is were it gets weird though. After backing up my card, I formatted it and copied my files back. I deleted the .sav file via the EZ Flash UI, and can confirm (by putting the SD card in a PC) that the file is gone. However when I load the game again, it doesn't create a new SAV file, and when I've finished and reset the GBA, it doesn't save anything. Even more weirdly, the game still shows my previous scores!!!
What's going on, and how can I fix it? There's clearly some residual data hiding somewhere.
