Pretty sure you would just replace the .sav in your rom directory with your gba4ios save. I could be wrong though.

Both in-game saves and save states are very random and non-functional. Sometimes when attempting to load saves natively or not, it will load a save from an past date. Then sometimes it will actually load the present save I originally wanted to load upon start-up. This feels out of control.

I haven't done any of that, though. I've just strictly been playing my emulators with my own saves.
Since nobody gave you an actual answer on how to save properly in-game, I'll elaborate.
You want to make sure you don't press the home button at all after saving, you want to press X to bring up the home brew menu and then X again to exit the emulator through the menu. If you do this properly, the game will recognize that you exited as opposed to suspended the software.
So I finally got everything in a state where I'm mostly satisfied with it. So here it is vba-next-switch 0.3!
https://github.com/RSDuck/vba-next-switch/releases/tag/0.3 EDIT: for those who see this later the newest version is: https://github.com/RSDuck/vba-next-switch/releases/tag/0.4
It includes the audio fix, @jakibaki 's support for auto saving and RTC and a settings menu, you can open it by pressing Minus. There you find a setting to change the screen scaling method. Bilinear scaling is supported but it's currently a bit slow. If you want a fullscreen image you're better off with the option Nearest Fullscreen.
If there are two things I learned then it's to appreciate GPUs and that the Switches CPU is slower than expected. I tried multiple implementations of bilinear scaling and all of them(including the one which can be found in this release) are too slow. With GPU support this wouldn't be a problem at all(after all they are built for exactly this purpose), but since there's currently no real support for the GPU, scaling has to be implemented on the CPU.
If anyone is eable to scale a 240*160px image to a resolution of 1080*720px on a Switch(without the GPU) in 6ms or less please let me know.

Could you add support for the picture mode we had before? It looked absolutely perfect to me.

Actually, that makes sense. See, everytime I exited the games I was playing, I only pressed X ONCE instead of twice. Thanks for the heads-up, lmao. My Mother 3 and Link to the Past progress is still dead but hey, what are you going to do?

Doesn't work on 5.0.2 sadly, or if it does, I get an immediate crash no matter what ROM I choose.
This new version introduced some weird lag which looks like skipped frames even though frameskipping is disabled. Didn't have that before. First noticed it in Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls while running even without scaling. Also scrolling in menus seems to be broken as of the new version and it's still randomly sorted. The new auto save and scaling is a good addition.
I made a fork on github and added an option to switch R and L buttons for ZR and ZL. @catlover007 take a look maybe it'll be useful for next release. (Sorry for retarded commits)
I also designed a new icon (I think it would look great with the Switch and HB launcher, but when I test it, it doesn't show on the HB launcher) imgur com/a/Uv7kVxb
If something I have my Discord at the signature

Thanks! I can't post images for now.
This is my fork github link: /dene-/vba-next-switch
Edit: added built nro with the setting and also "switch/roms/gba" as starting directory like it was in gdkGBA. Based on 0.3
Edit 2: It's tested of course, I'm using it now on my switch

Would it also be possible to change the menu shortcut to something like pressing both + and - ?
That would require a rewrite of the menu. Actually that would conflict with how the settings screen works. I'll try to improve the menu by the next weeks, but @catlover007 will have the last word at the end
I addressed some issues in https://github.com/RSDuck/vba-next-switch/releases/tag/0.3b https://github.com/RSDuck/vba-next-switch/releases/tag/0.4
To be honest, I never tried scrolling, because I don't have a folder with enough files, but I tried lowering the amount of files drawn until you need scrolling and it seemed to work fine. Maybe your folder had more files than supported. I increased the limit in this release, so please try again.
I thought I eliminated it completely it completely. I made some quick changes, I think these fixes it or at least improves the sitaution. And the filenames are now sorted in the new release.
