Homebrew Saving on Jenesis 0.7.4

[tnaught10]

Okay, so I recently purchased an EZVi right after the 1.4 update seeing as my acekard2i couldn't bypass it. With that said i've been using the EZVi since and i must say i really enjoy it, though i'm having a few problems.

I can't seem to save on the jenesis 0.7.4 emulator. Everything works great, the display and sound and everything. I am able to pull up the save state screen, but when i select save it just hangs or freezes with the words, "Saving, do not turn off DS". I've checked the EZ forums as well as here, but seeing as this version of the emu was releases about a year ago it's been unthinkably difficult to maybe find the solution to my problem.

To sum everything up, I was wondering if their is a patch to fix this problem, or could this be a problem specifically occurring on the EZVi?

EXTRA INFO:
EZVi everything is the latest software, kernal, DLDI, everything is up to date at this point.
I'm running on DSi, version 1.4U

Acekard 2i works just fine with 1.4.

Save games are a little glitchy in jenesisds, so it may be impossible to fix it. I've been using it on my R4 and the games saved, but when I reloaded them the graphics were all messed up and sound looping. So just stick to games you can finish in one go. You might want to post this on the Ez-Flash forum as well.

There used to be a problem with the EZ-V (not 'i') DLDI patch using too much of the stack, which would cause the emulator to get huge graphical corruption and sometimes crash when saving, because it wrote over RAM the emulator was using. Could be something similar; you could see if there's an alternative DLDI patch for the EZ-Vi. Or else just use the Acekard 2i, which I'd say is a much better card, at least in terms of software.

Hey thanks, sorry for the late reply to your guys' reply.

Anyways I fixed my issue, i just ended up using jenesisDS 0.6 and i had no issues whatsoever. The only downfall of that is the lack of the added feature which was included in 0.7.4 where the screen would scroll with the d-pad.

Thanks!

It's really curious, I just tried on a few games and I didn't notice any particular saving problems, after that, I don't know how you do your saves, as @Nikokaro said, you have to make your save during your game and when you want to load your save, you must launch your game and click on the save slot to load your game but in any case the game must be launched to access your save, for sure. I'm attaching my version, which I think is 0.7.4 but I'm not sure anymore so if in doubt if you want to test it, you can try, just copy it to the root of your sd card.

When I read your post, I immediately thought of this mythical game:

Also if you can’t get saving working with games such as Shining Force series etc use v0.7

https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/...isds-v0-7-apprenticeminusds-v0-2-6-f2056.html

Load the game twice and save both times then the save file it creates will be compatible with v0.7.4

P.S. This save patch works with 0.7.4 seems it’s only games that use large saves
