Homebrew AGB_FIRM Help

[Aletron9000]

i have asked this question around, and have not found an answer.

My GBA game says it is saving, but when I quit the game and go back in, it acts like I never played it. It is not only one game, it is every single GBA game I have used. I am using converted .gba to .cia games. I think it must be the AGB_FIRM. What am I doing wrong?

Have you ever patched your AGB firm?

 

[Aletron9000]

Have you ever patched your AGB firm?

Yeah, by replacing the agb_firm.cia

Did you generate proper footer files and use them during the conversion process? Because those determine how the AGB_FIRM games save.

 

[Deleted member 366698]

Yeah, by replacing the agb_firm.cia

you might have to restore it to its original state in order for it to work correcly with luma3ds

I can't remember, I am going to try to create another custom GBA rom and see if it saves.

EDIT: it is not the footer, I changed the footer, still not saving

EDIT 2: The AGB_FIRM is in it's original state, still not working.

Are you using the latest release of luma3ds?

 

[Aletron9000]

Are you using the latest release of luma3ds?

Yes, should I be using 5.5 or should I be using the one with a bunch of numbers and letters for the version? I use the latter.

EDIT: this is where I get my Luma3DS builds

I recommend using 5.5. GitHub commits are very unstable and might cause bricks.

Ok, thank you.

If all else fails, the game you're playing might be incompatible with AGB_FIRM's save emulation. Look on that iso site for a thread titled "[TUTORIAL] - Convert GameBoy Advance (GBA) ROMs to GBA VC CIA files" for a comprehensive guide, including patching problematic (#triggered) games.

Thank you, this was the issue, i can finally play the game without it constantly restarting!
