First of all, welcome to the world of CycloDS!
When you're going to select a game, instead of just pushing A to start the game, hold select and push A. You should see the following text pop up.

(RTS Initialize)
After you see that and the game starts up, RTS is enabled. In order to save the game's state, just push A, B, X, Y, L, and R, which pops up the CycloDS ingame menu. Simply select "Realtime Save" to save the game, and "Realtime Load" to load the game where you Realtime Saved it last.
I hope that answers your question.
