Hacking Save problem

[mgarciai]

So I found my fire linker around and decided to put pokemon on it for old times sake.
I used sp link from the following site here

So when I turn on my game it works fine; however, there is a big problem with saving. It just wont save.
Upon turning on the game, I get the following message: The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed.
Additionally, when I try to save, I get the save fail error. Please


Anyone have any ideas? I think the problem lies with splink not allowing me to change the save type to 128 as opposed to 64 which its set at.
Any help is appreciated please.

You either don't have a flashcart with 1M (that is 128KB) save space or you patched it with a SRAM patcher that doesn't support the pokemon save size.

From your last line, your flashcart doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game. your SOL.


And NO there is no software patch that will magically give you the extra hardware you need to play the game.

However, from what I recall. I think I had sapphire on there before, and I know that saved properly. It's been a while since Ive played though.
So I don't think its a space issue. Fired red isn't that different from sapphire.

Then you had it prepatched to run, your gonna have to dig up that prepatched rom or find the patches again.

You're right! Now, I remember. Dang, I don't think I have it anymore. Oh well, I guess theres nothing I can do.
