i just ran some tests using akaio 1.4.1 proper....
1173 - Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (E)(Menace) [37141F32] - FAILS
1195 - Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (U)(Independent) [A44BA79F] - FAILS
1613 - Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (E)(Indecline) [8D84ACFC] - FAILS
2140 - Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (U)(Trashman) [88DAB27F] - FAILS
i tried the 4 dumps (1173, 1195, 1613, 2140), each flashed to psram. each time i played 1 level, saved, quit back to the main menu, double checked the save was there, and finally turned off the ds. turned it back on, dumped the save, reloaded the rom and loaded the save. the save fails to work. it appears to load correctly, nothing errors in akaio. each game sessions says "new" instead of displaying my saved game.
is this an issue with this rom not being on an actual cart, or an akaio 3in1 bug?
