Is the graphic better if you use the sc Version and the upper screen on a 3DS

  • I can't do that (have no 3DS) (have not tested that)

Is this emulator not supposed to create save files? I've been trying Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones (using an original R4) and it seems to work almost perfect besides some graphics problems on the border. But even if I save when I start it back up it doesn't have my data saved, I've tried with all the save types.

It acts like it saves if I use save types Automatic, eeprom and eeprom sensor and if I suspend in-game the save is still there if I use those save types but if I turn off the ds and turn it back on and choose the same setting it's gone.

Is this a known problem with the emulator? or am I doing something wrong?

This emulator saves, but not automatically.
After you've saved in game, press L+R+A+B. A menu will pop up, press "save save" in the menu.
While you're there, you should press it twice or thrice, to be on the safe side. ;)
After that, press Continue. :yaysp:
HTH. :sp:

I've not been playing this emu for quite sometime, but hey, has anyone tried using vba save files with this?

VBA save files work fine.

Is there anyway to save without use of the L button? Mine is broken.

Unfortunately, no. Unless ichichfly creates an alternate save scheme, you'll have to use savefiles from VBA or some other emulator.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
