Emulation Certain GBA games will not save anymore

[monsyphon]

I several games on my ezflash (3 in 1 I believe) and most of them work. However, my F-zero Gp legend has suddenly stopped saving my games and now I have to redo everything
Even then, if I were to stop playing and turn off my DS my game wouldn't save, and I'd have to redo everything again. It;s wierd because all my other games work so i dont think its a battery issue, any help guys?

Firstly, the 3in1 uses real gba flashcart hardware to run your game, it is NOT emulation. It shouldn't be in this section you got it under.

Secondly, the 3in1 requires a slot1 to flash a game to before it can be used. YOU DIDN'T bother to tell what you use to load a game to it.

Thirdly, ALL PROBLEMS ARE RELATED DIRECTLY WITH THE ROM you are using.


It is most likely you didn't correctly SRAM patch the game before use or used a loader that doesn't do on the fly SRAM patching for you. This is as good an answer your gonna get until you start providing better info to your problems.

You should SRAM patch your games with the EZ4 Client if you aren't already.

EDIT: GBATA also works, but I've had less success with it:

If I stick this on my DS will it SRAM patch stuff automatically or are there steps?

The links I provided are to programs you run on your computer, you don't put them on your DS.

You only need to manually SRAM a game if the auto SRAM fails.

CycloDS is supposed to SRAM patch games automatically.
