I got DS Lite and bought R4i 3DS Gold with the 3in1 (v2) so I can play GBA games. But after playing around with it I found out that GBA games won't load saves. There actually is a savefile of any game I run on my SD card but it doesn't load when I reset the DS or load different GBA game. I suspected it was a dead battery because GBAexploader always asked me to set the Slot 2 card (GBAex is not working on my R4i, don't know why, but I can run it on EZ V I got with the 3in1).
So I successfully changed the battery (did the SRAM test, it was OK with old battery too) but it didn't help. It always starts new game when I launch it. I tried 2 Pokemon games and TMNT. I'm not doing any patching of the ROMs, Wood 1.64 should do that for me if I'm not mistaken.
With the old battery, maybe even now, I didn't try it, I noticed that when I turn off the DS and immediately turn it back on and run the game, the save loads. But when I leave it off for a few seconds, it doesn't.
Is there any fix for this, something I don't know about, or is the card basically useless?
