P.s. I have no idea what is meant by "Are you recharghing it" The only thing I have ever recharged is my NDS when wither the battery is dead flat or when it goes red. Other than that no recharge ever done. What specifically is being referred to to be recharged?
When you first get your Real with expansion, some of expansions don't work well if you don't recharge its battery first..So it's advisable to connect your NDS onto power supply with GBA expansion placed in slot-2 and leave it for several hours to recharge the battery (in the future, battery is recharged while you play games)..
RTS must be enabled in the menu right before you start the game, and than when you are in the game, you use combination that Fun_Zephyr mentioned for Real Time Saving of the game..If you try to load save that isn't previously made, the game will crash!!
If you get "save data corrupted" try formating your microSD, and placing all the files back on, some of files probably got corrupted, and that's the reason why your RTS and saving doesn't work..
QUOTEHowever, I am curious, when ignite339 said "Well what he meant was that when the M3 Real is turned on after you shut off a GBA game, the save is transferred from the expansion card to the MicroSD card before the GUI is loaded."
Does thsi mean that if you took out the M3 chip and placed another chip in - say the Cyclo - that the saved game would never reach your M3? And that being the case does it copy the fiel to your Cyclo memory card?
