holding L doesn't have anything with the saving
holding L makes the card softreset before launching the game, by mistake the EZ team didn't enabled that by default
loads of games have issues if you don't use the L+A
this being true in firmwares 2.01 and before.
Aahhhh thanks for clearing this up for me. It was giving me gray hairs, and i didn't know if it was my code or the flash cartridge that had a problem
I just beat it on mGBA, it was really good. The one thing that annoyed me a bit was that level with the hearts with blocks you need to break surrounded by invincible blocks.
As you might have guessed, this is a design decision, so you have to fight to stay alive in the small space between the hearts until you can finally get a fireball and break them. I will take a note that it is a bit annoying, and potentially redesign the level. Thank you so much for the feedback this is truly an amazing forum! I got absolutely no feedback on Reddit, this is where the true GBA fans are! <3
