I don’t know if you all are able to help me or if this is a known issue that I have yet to hear about (still new with the device) but, gpsp doesn’t seem to be usable at all for any kind of game that requires saving. Save states do not work at all either they save but crash upon loading or they don’t save at all. Battery saves are just as bad I’ve tried multiple games from pokemon to mario to zelda to spyro they all seem to save some of the time but 75% of the time they don’t actually save and cannot be loaded into again.
Big thank you to all the developers who made this CFW possible!
Anyone have any thoughts on how they feel about ohboy vs gambatte? They both seem very good. I feel like Gambatte has slightly less screen tearing (if that's possible), but Gambatte currently has no way to edit controls, and I can't get used to the switched A and B buttons. What do you think about these two?

Hi I have the same problem. Saves, either battery or via gpsp savestates, work just once, then it’s impossible to save again. It’s a nice handheld but this make it useless... hope it can be fixed
A quick update: after upgrading to the lastest CFW, instaled on a new SD, saves finally work as expected. I don't know if the problem was the FW or the SD, but anyway upgrading is very simple and a 8GB SD (big enough for keeping the best games in every emulator) is not expensive at all. Resizing the main partition is also simple but not mandatory.
I'm very happy with this little device now
thanks for your work on this CFW!

A quick question what brand of memory card did you use? I think it might have to do with the brand they sent with the device.
Am i getting this right? After the V1 and V2 version of the New Bittboy, a new V3 Version of the New Bittboy has been manufactured and already released?
With the following changes:
1. A tempered glass protector for BITTBOY screen.
2. Support vibration on games.
3. The ghost-key problem have been fixed.
Is the "tempered glass protector" just some foil to be applied to the screen or a whole new screen-cover? And can somebody please explain to me what the ghost-key-problem means at all?

Yes, they were now selling a 'v3' with those listed changes. Mine is listed as 'shipped' from retromimi but there are not any tracking updates yet. No one currently on the discord chat appears to have received their v3 so far, as soon as they do I'm sure some youtube vids will appear.
Not sure what the screen protector will be yet, I believe the older ones had a thin film covering the screen rather than glass and apparently now that's improved on the V3.
The Ghost input issue is where pressing a face button, its 'turbo' button and a direction on the dpad at once causes the device to register as though you pressed the select button which can bring up menus/pause the game when you're just playing.
Apparently it's a hardware issue somehow related to the fact the device was originally meant for emulating NES and GB that only have 2 buttons so the user was not expected to press say 'A' and 'turbo A' at the same time.
Forum software keeps stripping out the time tag so I'll put it as code:

A v3 model just launched. Tempered glass screen, various ghosting issues fixed and has built-in rumble.
Looking forward to the v4. Said to have all the same features as the v3, but with shoulder buttons and unit is horizontal.

If you buy a new bittboy (v3) and want to replace the included OS with CFW v3.6 you need to write it with win32diskimager or similar, not just copy the files to the fat32 partition as the pdf guide shows.
Personally I'd use a new microsd not the included one, mine came with some corrupt/unreadable files.
