I'm playing on a CycloDS 1.56B4 with the xpa patch, and I played up to the snow region and saved/quit/shut off my DS for the night. When I loaded it back up, my save file was completely gone. Has this happened to any other Cyclo owners?
Does it say "Creating new save file..." When you booted it back up? If so, I posted this three pages back, here it is:

Using a normal save file (And the one you posted twiztidsinz)
Does NOT work
However, by using the Realtimesave function you can save whenever you want,
and load that game after restarting and it works
However when you load your game, All the characters will be black shadows until you exit the room you loaded in,
you can go back in and have it be normal
To those who don't know, just highlight the patched rom in the cyclods menu, hold select, and press a
It should say like "RTS initialized" underneath"Loading"
In game, press A + B + Y + X + L + R to bring up the Cyclodsmenu, allowing you to save, or load
You only have to hold select and press A ONE TIME you select the game,
don't do any other time you load up the game
Okay, so I've read some 25 or so pages of this thread and I can't finish it. So I figured I'll just post what I have here. I heard there's a .sav file uploaded here? It's like, a normal .sav, nothing on it. So I downloaded it and put it on my CycloDS. I renamed it to the same name as my Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks patched ROM, and booted it up. Didn't get a Xenophobia logo, still has the starting animation. Before I used that .sav file, I tested the save feature by creating a new profile, then before starting it, I'd restart the DS via soft reset and go back in. Previously, it did as everyone said, treated it as if it was blank, a new game. Now, however, it doesn't do the "Creating new save file" thing anymore. Here's the link I got it from:
