Hi

Recently bought a 3in1 Expansion and I got some "issues" regarding with GBA save files. First of all the only game I play as of now is Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, so I loaded that game in the NOR memory, started a new game just for testing purposes and it saves well, but when I try to dump the savefile into a .sav file with GBAExploader it says that there is no SRAM, but when reload the game the save stills there. The slot-1 card I use is EZFlash Vi with the last firmware (ver:805, firm: 101, K:3.0 OB1), and it doesn´t either let me dump savefile from 3in1 with the R+X comand (obviously doesnt let me copy another savefile to 3in1 with R+Y comand). I got the "New3in1" version of the card´s chipset, and each time I start the GBAExploader (version 0.58b0) it asks me to initialize the slot-2 card so I thought was the battery, but it saves well. Hope you guys can help me, thanks in advance

 

gba exploader doesn't work properly on the EZ-Flash Vi by default. You will have to get the a modified version of the DLDI file to put on the flashcart to get some apps to run properly.

You can read the original here:

You should get the correct file here:
http://dldi.drunkencoders.com/index.php?ti...ash_5_(SD_Card)

Once you got that on the microSD, you shouldn't have any issues with exploader. You might have to delete any KH save file from the microSD and reload the game to the 3in1.




Either that or use the internal gba loader on the EZ-Flash Vi.

 

Hi, first of all thanks for your help.

I tried the things you said and here are some new questions I got:

1. Where I can find GBA Exploader 0.59b? googling only throws me the 0.58b
2. About the DLDI file, I tried the files of the wiki link, and when launched the app it said me about FAT reading error and to try the correct DLDI patch. The only one .dldi file that works seem to be the one to be included in the last firmware (EZ5iV3.dldi) cause the one of the previous release (EZ5V2.dldi) that seemed to be product of the research of the link that how_do_i_do_that posted didnt work either. (question?)

Well, the other issue I got was with the EZ Flash Vi built-in "GBA support" cause like I said in my previous post, I cant use the R+X and R+Y comand in the menu to dump and insert .sav files into the 3in1 expansion, but I can use the R+A comand to launch "GBA mode".

Btw, thanks (again) for all previous help and hope this could be solved, I only could wish to continue my previous save data of KH for not starting again (and if I do that, wanna backup that save to avoid lose it if I change the rom in the NOR memory).

P.S.: the save still there after one day

 

Well, KH is 32 mb so it doesn´t load in PSram, and I tried another game to load in PSram while KH is in NOR memory and booted KH, it´s kind of weird.

I think is a 3in1 hardware issue, well, I´ll see if I could get a "warranty" for it

Edit: I found out how this works (now that I´m not so tired): When a game is loaded with the EZFlash Vi built-in GBA Loader in the NOR memory it works great, saves and all, but changing the rom in the NOR memory the save file is backed in GBASAVE dir on microsd so the save is not lost, and when changing again loads that .sav file. So there is not need to use GBA Exploader (anyway it doesnt work well in that card).

I don´t know why I didn´t figure it out before Well, thanks for the help anyway

 

im having the same problem with chain of memories actually, everything else saves fine through psram and pokemon has worked through nor but i can't get chain of memories to save

I think it might need a patch or something, is yours patched

im using gba exploader btw with a ez flash 3 in 1 and a dstt patched with ysmenu
