I think you need to save ingame at a save point.

Did you sram patch your game? The game won´t save without it.

Download the tool gbata from here: http://www.no-intro.org/tools.htm

Open the program, click the folder called SRAM Patcher, select your Megaman & Bass rom and click on Patch.
Your game should save now.

are all gbaroms needed to be sram-patched?

Only games that don't already use sram by default.

Hey, I would say thanks and appreciate to @Gericom to make this

I've tried all ways to make gbarunner work, from reformat my SD from 32Kb to 4Kb, using commit from latest version to first commit. But none of that works, I only got a white screen and text "TEST" in bottom screen.

I assume it's because I'm using EDGE flash cart on my DS Lite that has auto-patch DLDI, I'm very newbie about DLDI stuff.
Finally it works to launch gbarunner via DSorganize, after opened via DSorganize, I reset DS, then I can get gbarunner works without DSOrganize. The version that works only Arm7.
Am I missing something here? How can I load gbarunner without opened first in DSorganize?

Oh, and I'm tried Drill Dozer game US and EU version, it's freeze white screen after gameboy logo, in compability list I see Drill Dozer is playable.

 

[Tarmfot]

Link to the past get frozen when I press start to begin link to the past(not selecting it from initial screen).
Is it supposed to work, isn't it?
Sorry for my english.
I use gbarunner2 from last twlilight menu.

Hello Gericom, using GBARunner2 save versions I've got errcode=83 SD Card Fragment error loading some NDS roms with my R4 card. Please implement saving only if we have a .sav file to avoid this issue

@Gericom, do you think we should recommend the ys menu as the way to boot gbarunner2 from a Flashcard?
I use the latest build from the RetroGameFan thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/.
I get the best results with this program.

It might be good to mention it as something people can try if it doesn't work. WoodR4 is based on ys menu right? It's what I use on my r4.

WoodR4 is based on ys menu right?

No, YSMenu started as a hack of TTMenu (the TTDS kernel, which has "creative" design decisions like displaying files without sorting, in the same order as the directory entries) to make it look a bit like the original R4 kernel; in fact, you can use the same compatibility fix databases (infolib, savlib, extinfo...) as the TTDS!
(around 2009, projects like R4YSAuto ported YSMenu to the original R4, which wasn't updated anymore; some years later Yasu apparently passed the source to RetroGameFan or something like that)

Wood started a port of Normmatt's AKAIO for the Acekard series (and they take the same themes...) to the original R4, it was open source but Yellow Wood Goblin got annoyed at clones ripping it off, and it became an exclusive for the original R4 and the r4ids.cn

YSMenu has better support for the more problematic models of the Ezflash 3-in-1 (though someone told me Wood also supports them in the newest versions) and has all the important options 2 clicks away, but there are few options and many don't like its UI; while Wood is generally considered a little superior in compatibility

For anyone with an Acekard 2i: I finally got arm7 wramicache to run with the old official Acekard 2 OS, instead of AKAIO. I read that AKAIO's DLDI is a bit busted which may explain the problem, but I'm not sure how to insert the old DLDI into AKAIO properly.

It might also work if you patch gbarunner2 on forehand.
