it's not necessarily using all 512KB though

I think this is a rom hack, not something you do with a save file...?

It seems it can read and save the "save file" correctly, although it is awfully small

drop that file in a hex editor and tell us what it says?

This probably works in order to act like a real cartridge in order to bypass anti-piracy checks done by the system.

there was a 3DS system update a long time ago that checked if a game had save data to try and block flash carts. let me see if I can find it...

FF for the last 256 bytes, GBG_DS 0.0.0 at the beginning, and 2 lines of 4 FF

My gateway blue card also had a valid save area that TWLSaveTool was able to dump. Seemed to be mostly dummy data though as I would expect.

out of curiosity, what does it contain exactly if you use a hex editor or something? don't know what the blue card does
