Also having issue with Chrome picking this up as malware and refusing to download. I just installed it and it works great, but maybe something's generating a false positive or the download domain of GBAtemp has been flagged?
Mine did too. I just opened all downloads and told it to keep it and moved on

It's probably your cartridge. Make sure you clean the pins.
Just happened again with Mario kart. I was just finishing up the 3rd race in a gp and it totally reset the game. Didn't go back to the menu, just restarted the rom. Pins are clean, fresh formatted good quality SD. Write to NOR, no problems :/

Strange. You should probably contact your dealer for a replacement. :/

It's real a common issue that emulator reset broken tf card fat table..
Is there any change to add a fixed delay after exit/reset , just wait for maybe 3-5 second , for the poor file system.
Which may better to users

FWIW waiting 5 seconds isn't a bulletproof system either, you still have problems.

It's more of a bandage rather than a fix for the root cause.

EZ-Flash really needs a revision without this stupid direct save feature.

I really hate counting every time.

btw, last version (Update v3.41) kernel i got an addons pathing issue on writing norflash with addons, for a modified rom (FFTA JP with Chinese translation ver.)

and I've found it's fix in kernel 1.07, fw 7, seems simple light still base on on kernel 1.06 ?

my solution is rollback to simple light is ok , so the backup feature can work

Make sure you disable the fast patch engine in the options menu. This uses a lookup table for each game in the library. This should resolve your issue.

Sure fast patch engine is off .

I've test on a clean rom version with simple light kernel, got same result.

conditions

* addons: reset on , savestate on , cheat on , sleep on; fast patch engine : off
* no cheat file.

boot with addon : in-game menu , reset+savestate+sleep works
write norflash with addon and run from norflash : savestate hotkey works , no menu , no reset function, no sleep

it seems simple light kernel don't remember game save type ,and behaviour differently when work with norflash rom.

game FFTA (EU) clean rom

It never remembered the save type on the stock kernel.

As for the NOR issue, try using the stock kernel and see the results.

Sounds like you got a bad ROM or something. Try playing some homebrew games or something to see how that goes.

You can find some here: http://gbadev.org/
