That means R4 for now. :)

The error you have is maybe I think of the INFOLIB.DAT and SAVLIB.DAT which is not up to date on your Kernel/Software you use.:(

Both European and USA releases don't work
Hello.:)

I have tested both versions of LEGO Harry Potter 1-4 on my Flashcards.
YSMenu and R4/TT Menu.

Both Versions works with no savefile issue.
Maybe take a look at the "possible" solution from a Post above:

I'm not sure to understand, do I have to download something or I have to use another flashcard?

I think the Software/some files on your Flashcard are maybe outdated.I don not know which one you have exactly.

You said you have this one ?

I use an R4/TT Menu version 2.32 and YSMenu 7.05.I "build" each version together from the Multi Card update for my old R4iTt purple:

Appended is a zip File with my Infolib.dat + savlib.dat.Maybe this helps you on the R4/TT Menu.Please backup your SD Card before copy the files over.

Good luck.:)

It didn't change anything...
And I noticed that the infolib.dat you gave me was smaller that the one I already had, and I had the same savelib.dat file

This is a pity.:(

You can also try that one inside the actual Multi Card update attached here.
Maybe you have better luck with them.:)

Unfortunately, it didn't work too... I don't think the problem comes from these files
I think of these because of your SAVE issue.If a game CAN NOT save thats one.But your issue reminds on an Games who not correctly "detected" or "known" by the Flashcard(software).:(

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Someone mentioned it here before: please rename the GAME to for example Potter.nds if you do not tried it before.

As here the same issue:

When I use the firmware that use YSMenu, most of my games have this save error problem, but when I use the original firmware (wihtout YSMenu), I don't have this error and the Lego Harry Potter game can launch (but is stuck on a white screen)
And yes I already tried to change the name of the game, but it doesn't change anything too...

The WHITE SCREEN appears on ALL games or only on the LEGO Harry Potter game ?
I am sure you have tried other versions of your Games.Because maybe the ROM(s) causes the issue.:unsure:

Only on the Lego Harry Potter game, 99% of the games (including the games that had the save error) work
I tried to use the US and European roms, but I don't know if there are other versions (I tried to use the roms in an emulator and it worked)

Thank you for your detailed declaration.:)

It is really strange,both games/versions works without issues on my flashcards:

The purple R4iTT is really old and the Game works on both Menus (R4TT and YSMenu).:(

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Did you check also the SAVE files entension ? .SAV or .sav ?

I tried the two extensions, but it does the same thing

Maybe this thread helps you:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/list-of-games-that-needs-the-arm7-fix.57788/

I think your R4 Card is too old to have the arm7 patches in the Frimware.:unsure:

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And an other maybe "silly" thought:

Turn the DATE back a YEAR.:)
I remember of an R4 Kernel bug in 2010 or so....
I tried to use the arm7 patch, but it didn't change anything and I tried to change the date, but again no change...

Please put only that special Game in the ROOT of the SD CARD.:)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Please try also to update the r4patch.dat (attached from Multi Card Update).

Puting the game in the root of my sd card don't change anything
And it's strange, the file you gave me seems to be the same I already had, but now I have a new error, I don't have the save file error, but I have "Open TTMENU.SYS error!" (but it's normal, I don't have a TTSMENU.SYS file in my flashcard...)

Sorry,I do not know more solutions or options for you.:(
If you try google your issue (r4 savfile not founded! Please reset system) there are many not english hits (spanish/italian and maybe french).
Good Luck.:)
