I'm having some problems with the GBA emulation on my CycloDS. According to the CycloDS manual:
"CycloDS Evolution allows you to launch GBA games directly from the CycloDS Evolution game list. Some games must be patched in order for them to properly save data – this is done automatically on-the-fly. GBA games saves are stored in a directory called “GBA_SAVE” in the
root directory of your MicroSD card and are automatically backed up from your slot 2 device when necessary"
However, I have not been able to get emulated GBA roms to save correctly. To clarify, whenever I run a GBA rom from the CycloDS menu, it will appear to save while I am playing the game, but when I restart my Cyclo and load up the game again there are no saves in memory. I assume this is due to a problem backing up the slot 2 SRAM to the MicroSD, but I don't really know enough about the process to diagnose it further. The manual says that this backup happens "automatically," but clearly it is not happening at all in my case.
Some notes:
- CycloDS is at latest firmware, 1.55.
- I'm using an EzFlash V slot 2 cart
- This occurs in both PSRAM and NOR modes
Is there something basic I'm missing here? Is there some way to force backup of the GBA ram? I can't seem to access the Team Cyclops forums, so I'm hoping some of you will be able to help.
