Thank for the blank ROM, I may use it. I asked about emptying the NOR because maybe clearing it would fix the GBAExploader problem?
I don't think it is extactly the 0 games error. If I open GBAEx with no cart, I can use the program, and navigate through the filesystem. But when the cart is in, it gets frozen, I can't change modes and I can't navigate anymore. I can see the number of games of the last opened folder, but no files or anything, like it loaded the number but not the folder/files view.
Now that you mention it, maybe the battery is badly installed. Can I do something about it? Is it harmful? Does not seems to affect Wood R4...
The cart is a second-hand one, but the battery seems to work (I can save games), and I don't know what I did, but GBAEx stopped working and I would like to at least know why, or fix it.
So, to sum up, please correct me if I'm wrong:
To ways of playing: load by NOR or by RAM.
By NOR the save stays inside the cart until you dump it or overwrite it.
By RAM the save gets dumped when opening Wood R4 again.
Anything else I should know about this cartridge? What if I didn't have Wood R4? How would the RAM saves dump after a reboot? Can I write a NOR save for an already NOR written ROM? When I dump the NOR save, I guess it doesn't get the same name of the ROM and stays next to it right? I guess it would appear at the root path with a strange name? And lastly, ROMs usually works without patching right? When do I have to patch? When they do not work? Or when they do not save? I have to use the 3in1 tool right?
Thanks so much and sorry for the long post, but I like to have control of what I buy
