Hacking GBA SAVE

[Dippingbirdie]

I'm using Supercard LITE and V2.57

I have to disable RTS and RESTART to play FF V properly... I did that for FF I & II as well, so in this case,

HOW DO I SAVE? Since I can't do the L + R + A/B + Select thing...?

Turn your DS off and on quickly, then go to the saver tab and choose your FF V save file, press A to save the data in the supercard RAM to the save file in the sd card.

It didn't work!

My, I like GBA games... Guess I should change to M3 or something already

It sounds like you upgraded to the new SC firmware, which doesn't let you do a QPC save: quickly turning your DS off/on etc. For FF V to run at a decent clip on a Supercard you need to disable "restart" in the SC patcher; but then how do you save?

Here's one solution that others have helped me with. Only enable the "saver" patch in the FF V rom, and then run the resulting rom through the "fastrestart" program. When you want to save, do an in-game save, an L+R+Select+Start to reboot to your SC menu, and then navigate to the "saver" menu, select your FF V's .sav file, writing it to your flash card.

I'll try that later...

Thanks! I have gotten it to save, just a tad troublesome ~
