Why can't you just save by the frog's? That's what they're there for.. If those froggies say no to your save data, try switching firmwares.. That worked for me (M3 DSR). It saves and loads perfectly.

And also, I know the pain. my L+R Button doesn't work either =_=

kanchi465: Your choices are basically 1) get your DS fixed or replaced, or 2) get a different flashcart. You can get cheap GBA flashcarts from DealExtreme for just over $20 shipped.

Earthbound2: The Supercard requires you to press a button combo to write the normal in-game saves to the memory card, because it's too crappy to just keep the save in SRAM like every other flashcart.

Do regular in-game saves not work on the Supercard? You can try the Quick Power Cycle method of saving regularly rather than using the real-time save option. Save in-game, power off, power back on quickly IN GBA MODE, press Right to get to the saver tab, navigate to the *.sav file, and hit A twice. The next time you boot the game, the save should load automatically.

well actually I don't think my way will help according to the above above my previous one, stating that you can't save in-game normally.. Unless you can find a firmware that lets you set up the button combination to save, then I think there's no other way.. Good luck. Also, I just turned on my M3 + Mother 3 recently, and It seems my save file has completely disappeared. The saving and loading still works properly, but it seems after a day it just completely vanishes.. I'm going to try save fix patches and restart it again.. and again.. Until I can just play Mother 3 in peace..

Good luck for you and I my friend, for we have similar fates and bounds to this beloved game..

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates

    Sorry didnt read that part
