Hacking GBA games aren't loading on new M3 Sakura Firmware

[maplesyrupandjam]

Any reason why my GBA games will not load on this new firmware vs the firmware from a month ago?? I've switched between them and I can play my GBA games on the old however many of my newer DS games have problems so I'd like to use the new firmware. Is there anyway I can fix this? I know my gba expansion is not the problem since it works with older firmware.

Try deleting all *.opt files in you GBA rom dir. This file stores the options you have made for a game in the Sakura interface. They should be safe to delete.

It didn't work... in fact I switched back to 1.35x and they worked and then I switched to 1.47x and they stopped working again. Can someone help me make my GBA games work with the new firmware, this is really frustrating and I seem to be the only one having this problem.

they work perfectly for me
Try reformatting the card with panasonic SD formatter

Not sure if this is the same problem, but I had something similar happen to me (and by similar, I mean identical.). The way I fixed my problem was: push X to go to the boot settings or whatever they are when you're choosing which GBA game to play, and switch the "patch load" to "quick load". That solved my problem, at least.

The first time loading a GBA Rom Use ALWAYS Patch Load To Patch SRAM for saving

Patching on M3 can corrupt save. Patching on PC using GBATA is recommended.

Thanks, worked like a charm!
