Hey guys, I have an Acekard 2i and an EZV 3in1, running akaio 1.9.0 on my DS Phat
Running GBA games from SRAM works 100%
However, if I flash a game to NOR i have save issues.
First problem was with astro boy, when flashed to NOR it wouldnt keep the save at all, every time i turned off and back on it would be blank save slots. I didnt do other testing, and replaced the battery thinking that might be the issue, but even with a new battery no luck.
So I ran SM Advance 3 from SRAM and it saved fine. I thought maybe the problem was the astro boy rom so I flashed Metroid fusion to NOR and was able to save fine once. Also the astro boy save worked from SRAM.
So I played Metroid Fusion for a good 2 hours only to find out that after saving, turning off and back on... It didnt load the GBA save when I went back into akaio. To my horror, when I loaded Metroid Fusion again, my test save from 2 mins of playtime was there, not my new one or any of the ones in between :< I lost 2 hours of gameplay...
also of note, not sure if this is normal, when I flash a game to NOR, the first time loading it freezes at the Gameboy screen, then i power off and back on and it works fine.
I love the NOR feature because of no load time but... I have to be able to trust my saves. Help me GBA wan Tempnobi, you're my only hope!
