Ok, I'm running advance wars (1.0, 1.1) - which patching for some reason has been giving me trouble...
1st - 1.0 unpatched - strange save stuff going on (to be expected) played a bit, lost my save... my own dumb fault for not patching
2nd - 1.0 patched with GBATA - crashes on save in 3in1, boots to whitescreen & locks up in VBA - wierd... GBATA SRAM patching funky?
3rd - 1.1 patched with GBATA - same as 2nd
4th - 1.1 patched with EZ4 - same funkyness as original (maybe didn't really patch?)
5th - 1.1 patched with EZ4 - but this time I loaded a save from Gamefaqs (converted with VBA) - when I booted through rudolphs I got nothing, but when I booted straight to the 3in1 *IT LOADED THE SAV FILE*
I thought hey, progress! we're in buisness... one final test though - I loaded another game to the NOR, and then back to AW - and that killed my SAV... so rudolphs is NOT going to back up my progress...
anyone have anything to add to this? am I just screwed or is there a solution here I'm missing?
