    While reading http://gbatemp.net/t260726-akaio-v1-8-1? I caught one of the changes was "+ Fix GBA Auto saving." .. I can't think of anything else GBA stands for but GameBoy Advance. I know that (at least when I got my Acekards 2i) GBA emulation wasn't around, and supposedly not possible, but then what does the changelog mean?

    Thanks.

    I know it has something to do with slot 2 flashcarts. I think there was a problem where the savs of gba games would randomly be deleted.

    Doesn't that refer to the EZ Flash 3-in-1?

    AKAIO 1.8.0 wouldn't properly save the GBA save from the Slot2 cards.

    You can place your GBA ROMs on an acekard and then select them and it'll transfer (with gba exploader) them to a slot-2 card which will then boot them.

    There was a change to GBA save files in 1.8.0 that wasn't totally right, so 1.8.1 fixed it.

    Before 1.8.0 release, there is a user request additional detect GBA flashcard existing in slot-2 before saving and Normmat implemented it in AKAIO 1.8.0. This feature is really awesome for preventing to accidental blank saving over previous save file, however, there is a minor bug that autosave not operate when slot-2 has no game in NOR memory. AKAIO 1.8.1 fixed that problem.

    So I play games in NOR mode exclusively so that I can use my GBA SP and save battery life on my DS. In the past I just used GBA Exploader but thought that this update might work. Most games will not save correctly for, for example if ever I load my save data or make new saves for Emerald I will get the message that my save was corrupt and has been deleted after "backing up" and reloading via AK2. Does anyone else get this problem?
