Homebrew Golden Sun (both games) "Unable to detect backup memory" issue on 3ds VC

[Wahrrelasse]

So yesterday I played Golden Sun on my 3ds (as a cia file) and I couldn't save my game, because the game was unable to detect backup memory. On Virtual Console it's impossible to create any savestates, so is there a way to fix this problem?

 

[DerpyPeyton]

As of I know, no. Some games work with saving (Mother 3, Super Mario Advance 2) but games like Pokémon don't save. I hope someone finds a fix for this.

There are fixes for these things, usually. There's fixes for Pokemon, for example. Did you make the ISO yourself or download it off the web?

I made mine myself, how would I play Pokémon? I would love to play Fire Red and being able to save.

It's probably an unsupported save-type. There'd need to be an official VC release with the same type to inject to. In the mean time, you can try https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/releases - it's not quite full speed yet, but it's more convenient if you install it as a cia and if you use frame skipping, you hardly notice the difference.

You can either download CIAs from the ISO or Chaos sites (I have a thread on both sites ) or there's a fix documented here. (I believe this is the right link?)

 

[Wahrrelasse]

The link is right, but it doesn't work for the GS Games, because the string "D0 88 8D 83 42" isn't in the game :/

That's for Pokemon games and Pokemon games only.

I have a thread over on those sites that has FireRed.
And so do plenty of others, too. There is a search bar for a reason.

Exactly, and unlike GBAtemp, the search bar there isn't shit!

What are you talking about?

 

[Garro]

Huh... I made my own Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 CIAs and at least the first is working flawlessly. I haven't played the second yet.

If you care, I uploaded those in some ISO site along with other VC games. Feel free to download them and see if they work for you.

I was comparing the search functions of the sites to more well known sites

GBATemp is Ask.com
Yahoo isn't bad (Chaotic Iso)

Okay, I just didn't understand what you had meant before!
