Hi guys,

Is the game save file located in the micro sd card or the sd card? Also, approximately how big is an average save file say for like Pokemon X, Professor Layton, Harvest Moon etc.

Thanks so much!

I am probably wrong but i believe EmuNAND games like pokemon save the file on the actual microsd. because ive had issues with pokemon restarting the save over and over - the only way i can get it to progress is to load into gateway mode... which means emunand... which means... SD card. dont know about sizes i never looked for them.

Yes, you are wrong.
Firstly, Pokemon is a NAND save game, it has nothing to do with emunand.
NAND save games store the save file inside of the rom itself, but won't actually write the save until you exit the game, so if your battery dies even though you tried to save, it doesn't actually get saved.

oooh... i see. That does make sense. I had a bunch of problems with unsaved progress and i figured it was because i was trying to load it from NAND and not emunand, but i guess it was just because i didn't quit all the way or w/e...

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.

    But you still don't know what it was?
