GBA/SP/GBMicro NOOB PARADISE: ask and answer questions here
Wii has one. Switch has one. 3DS has one. Now it's GBA's turn. Ask questions now.
The only thing I can think of is that the battery in the game cart used for saving is dead. You can easily find replacements in stores or on the net.my GBA says it saved my FFTA progress, but when I got to "load game" it says there is no progress to be loaded
is there an answer to this?
actually, I have a rechargeable battery that I charged just before playing. Its worked fine for about 4 months already. the game also was working just fine, and the save even worked the first two times I played, but after that it stopped working. oh yeah, something that may be helpful: when I first got the cartridge, it had dust in it, and it didn't work, but after I used a brush inside, it started working just fine. maybe dust is still inside?The only thing I can think of is that the battery in the game cart used for saving is dead. You can easily find replacements in stores or on the net.
For most game it's a CR1616 if I recall correctly.
but thanks for the idea anyways!The only thing I can think of is that the battery in the game cart used for saving is dead. You can easily find replacements in stores or on the net.

Could be a corrupted save file problem. I know it sounds dumb but maybe you turned the system off while the game was saving or something like that ?the save even worked the first two times I played, but after that it stopped working.
Thanks a lot for this thread ^^
So, I'm not new to the GB/GBA itself. I have been using them, since they first came out (yes, even in 1989, I as born in 1980).
Buuuut – what I'm new to, are these flashcards. I finally bought:
1x EZ Flash Omega
1x EZ Flash Junior
1x Everdrive GB X3
Until recently everything worked, as it should. But around 1 month after getting the EZ Flash Junior, I got the message 'Battery dry' and since then, it won't boot up anymore. I can't get in the menu or anything.
I googled a bit and found out, that this problem, with the battery running dry is kinda widespread. But what I'm confused about is, that although it seems to be common knowledge, that the battery can run dry fast, nowhere does anyone ever mention anything about the card not working anymore.
So, I am kinda confused. Was it just a coincidence for me, that at the exact moment, that the battery ran dry, my EZ Flash Junior also broke, or is it, that the Junior stops working in general, when the battery is empty?
Also, if it is the case, that I need to replace the battery, for the Junior, in order for it to work again... oh boy... is this a fatal flaw of this card then. I mean.... a new battery every month? That would be a NoGo for me, tbh.
Is it the same with every other Flashcard out there? Will my EZ Flash Omega also stop working, when its battery is empty? Will the same happen to the Everdrive GB X3 ??
I saw, that there is an ''Everdrive X5 Mini GBA''... will this also have the same fatal flaw and just stop working, when its battery is dead?
Thx in advance!
This problem with EZ Flash Jr has already been considered by me and the answers have been givenThanks a lot for this thread ^^
