Did you check to make sure the battery in the Ez-Flash wasn't dead?

You need to open up your 3 in 1 and there will be a battery in it
You need a Battery Tester and you need to it to set it to the proper vaultage and check the two clips that holding the battery and it should tell you how much power is left in it.

You could also check to make sure it created a .sav file.

I believe that might be the problem

 

[TNTony]

how can i get it to create a .sav?
i really want to be able to play my gba games correctly

Try disabling GBA ExpLoader's multi-save feature has solved save problems for some people. Open the GBA_ExpLoader.ini file in a text editor and remove the # from the beginning of the No_MultiSave line. Save the file, and place it in the root of your memory card.

There is a homebrew, not sure what its called, to check the battery of the 3in1. It is on filetrip, but I cant remember what its called.

just decided to get ysm3 with the retro dat files for game support

should do the trick as it has native gba support.

If your don't pick a save slot to use on this screen, it is the same as deleting your own save.

Spoiler

If you find having a choice to much for you, turn off the multisave like Catboy explained to you.



There isn't a homebrew that tells you if the battery is dead or not, only indications like:
1. GBA Exploader keeps asking you to initialize the 3in1 every time you boot it up.
2. The SRAM test fails to verify ALL the time.
