Alright, so is there a way to patch...

- Super Mario Advance 4 save corrupted
- Pokemon Emerald clock-based events
- Super Mario Advance 1 corrupted
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon save failed
- any other save errors for Mario/Sonic/Pokemon games I haven't found out already?

1- GBATA for SMA1, SMA4 & pkmnMD. Load your gba rom, go to the SRAM Patcher tab and click patch then convert you roms to cia.

2- For all standard gba pokemon games (R,S,E,FR,LG) you need to patch your gba rom like this : https://gbatemp.net/threads/fixes-for-all-gba-pokemons-save-issue-with-agb_firm.390508/

Then create a correct footer with RTC checked and convert it to cia.

Footer generation exemple for pokemon emerald :

You can use the SRAM patcher fine? Could've sworn it said not to. Was that only for gen 3 Pokemon games?

Will try when I get home. Thanks!

You can use SRAM patcher/gbata for a few games that need it but not with gen3 Pokemon games, these games and only these games need to be patched with the second way.

When generating the footer after SRAM patching formerly EEPROM based games like SMA1, or Flash1M based game like SMA4; what Save Chip Manufacturer and Save Type should I use?

Also a much more complex question. Could it be possible to patch AGB_Firm or the CIA, if it's stored there, to the button mapping Y=Select X=Start? Maybe with more reverse engineering if need be.

Tested.
PMD - Save failed.
SMA1 - No luck here. Same error as before.
SMA4 - Tested with Wii U eShop patch, formats save data then presents you with glitched saves in save selection. Same issue as before.

It seems nothing has really changed, as the end result is the same as before.
Thank you for your help, though!

I used the "Load from ROM" option in the footer generator, but I have no idea if that's right. It'd be amazing if someone could find a fix for...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (USA)
Super Mario Advance (USA)
Super Mario Advance 4 all e-Reader levels (USA)


...either if their footer files need to be tweaked, or their ROMs, or both, it'd be a great help!

I'M AN IDIOT

Apparently, you gotta change the footer's save type / save chip manufacturer to the first option, SRAM / 0xC0. Testing now.

 

[Nayd03]

I've heard that it won't work if my Nands are unlinked. How can I link my Nands? (I unlinked them when I created the Emunand)

 

[AkitoUF]

Edit: I get an error even when deleting the correct title. I'm out of ideas.

That's what I thought, I just want confirmation on which to use. For the footer of SMA 1 I used Save Type: SRAM, and Save Chip Manufacturer: 0x90. It works and saves properly, as far as I tested. I don't know if that's what should be used for every formerly EEPROM based game, and what about Flash 1M like SMA4.

So does having multiple gba vcs installed actually slow down emunand boot? Just curious someone on reddit said they noticed slower times after having them installed

 

[ShinLarc]

I am on RX 10.5 and Using RX tools since I unlinked and updated my EMUNAND I am UNABLE to play any classic CIA files even after using this AGB_firm CIA and patching and installing! someone please help me out here. AM I doing something wrong?

 

[AkitoUF]

I've got another question that may or not be related to this thread, in case I want to delete titles from sysNAND, how will I know which title corresponds to a GBA game?
There's a database but for 3ds games only and the ambassador titles.

Delete them in System Settings-> Data Management

Delete them in System Settings-> Data Management

That'd delete them from emuNAND only, right?

Yes

That's not what I asked for but whatever, thanks anyway.

Use sig patched sysNAND to delete them the same way

Load the rom used to generate the cia in gbata, and it should tell you the serial "AGB-AYDE-USA" for example.

I believe the AYDE should correspond to the game installed in FBI under CTR-N-AYDE.

Wouldn't opening data management in sysnand corrupt your emunand install?
