I've tried googling my question in every way possible but I can't understand most of the results. I still hardly understand the difference between psram and nor, but I think it's that nor cannot create a save file, and you can't restore a save file into psram mode? I apologize if I missed a guide somewhere.
So right now I have an R4i GOLD 3DS RTS with the latest wood R4 kernal I believe (I don't remember if I installed the 3DS V6.2 patch) and an ezflash V. I have a separate folder named GBA in my root and another one called GBA_SAVE. I then tried to use gba exploader with much confusion.
Some extra information about my .sav file is that I extracted it from my game cartridge originally and I am able to load it with VisualBoyAdvance by importing it. It plays just fine on my PC and I can save. I wasn't sure where I should store the .sav file on my R4i, so I've placed it in the GBA folder as well as the GBA_SAVE folder. When I try to run the rom from either the GBA folder or the root, it does not recognize my .sav file anywhere I place it. The filename is the same as the rom name, but I've also tried to create a .gba.sav version of it which didn't work.
This is when I tried to use the gba exploader but I can't figure it out. If I run the rom in psram or nor mode, and from either the folder or the root where I have the gba exploader file, it does not recognize the .sav file anywhere. My gba rom's size is 16mb but I haven't done any kind of conversion with it. I'm not even sure if it's related to the size. Could anyone please help me, as I've spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own now.
