I was just checking out some threads and found this: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=822...p;#entry1084817

It states on that link that "2) After you exit from a saved GBA game you have to turn your Nds back on and go back to the GBA menu to transfer the saved from the Sdram to the main save."

I dont fully understand this.. but is it saying that I need to turn the DS back on real fast once I shut it off to make sure it backs up the save?

When I was playing DQM: Joker I lost about 6 hours worth of playtime because of this. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT

I did some testing with FFTA2:

I went in and performed a quick save then did the following:

1) Shut down and started back up. It retained the save.
2) Shut down, removed the M3, popped it back in, started it up. Still retained the save.
3) Shut down, removed M3 and MicroSD card, popped them back in, started it up, still retained the save.

Each time I went in game and made a new save. So it doesn't appear to be an issue with removing the game. Is it required to go back into the game manager software within a certain timeframe after shutting a game off to ensure that it saves or anything? I'm stuck, please help.

 

Could be a battery issue.
