Misc mGBA core not saving on some games.

[XRed_CubeX]

Pretty self-explanatory title. I'm using the latest version of Retroarch on an OLED Switch. I tried running some emulated GBA games. Pokémon Fire Red (with BIOS loaded) saves normally, but Crash and Spyro Vol. 1, for example, gives me problems. I try to save, but it's as if the save was never made. Do you happen to know what the problem might be?

I tried it but I don't seem to get any benefits compared to retroarch and the problem isn't solved, in fact, I lose the rewind, fastforward and downclock
