apparently when you have saved your game, before you close your console or switch it off you need to press the blue button to load up a new game then you can switch off the console and keep your save.

 

My Sky3DS is loaded with a few games but I play only one at the moment, and it acts like a real 3DS cart. My save is still there despite switching off the 3DS or closing it, though I haven't tried removing the cart or the SD card before pressing the blue button.

I previously added a few new games to the cart after having been playing one game actively. After saving that game, I pressed the blue button to cycle to the next. When you do this, the save files in Sky3DS's EEPROM get saved (safely?) to the microSD card. I wrote new games to the card as normal, and when I loaded the game, my save is still there.

Though is your game marked as EEPROM NO? I recall seeing somewhere that these games behave differently save-wise.

 

That's odd. I suppose the block configuration of the microSD card or some blue magic gets disturbed by deleting the other games and so the save file becomes corrupted.

Anyway, it's good to back up the game saves first before you do anything. To make sure the save isn't copied over incorrectly, you can check its header. A legitimate save header contains the game ID.

 

u have to initialize sky when you put another tf card into it...

for most games, the eeprom is yes, card1 type game.
when you remove the tf card, you should press the button, to save the current sav from eeprom to tf card..if you don't do that, game save will corrupt, unless the tf card which you insert back has the same current game. (ie. I'm playing MH4U, then save my game and quit it, without press the button, I remove the tf and reinsert it, data won't corrupt. If I switch to another tf and the current game is SSB, without press the button is fine, once you press it, sky try to write the MH4U data to the SSB game, obiviously the SSB's save will corrupt...btw, next time you play MH4U, since the data didn't overwrite the old data, sky will load the old data....it's like you go back to the pass time......


so......do not forget to press the blue button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my suggestion.....if you don't mind to give up the current game progress, use this tool to convert the 3ds rom from card1 to card2 type and re write the game use the new rom, new template..
with card2 type rom, you don't have to press the button in order to save the data to tf card, and eeprom won't read or write anything for the game. reduce the chance of save data corruption to minimum...

normally move down the game won't corrupt your data, only if the current save in eeprom is not suit the game before remove and insert back the tf card.

ie. game1: Pokemon OR, game2: MH4U, game3: FEA
the last game I play is MH4U, and now I only want to play FEA.
without press the button, I remove the tf, and use DW move OR and MH to the second list.
without initialize, insert back tf directly. press the button, tada!!!! the MH4U data in eeprom write in to the FEA save successfully!!!!!!

when you understand how sky save function work, this wont be the problem

 

convert all game to eeprom no will be quite nice if u haven't start play any game...
only press the button will write the save from eeprom to sd card.
reboot the console or initialize sky: reload the save from sd card to eeprom. (prepare to play the game)

load from card to eeprom won't corrupt the save of current game, the only thing lost, is the save in the eeprom of previous game

 

reboot actually reload the game(I have done before), maybe not the save(I'm not so sure)...

Hold the button insert the sky into the card slot...reject it, insert back...wait the fast flash light over...reject..insert back...game back to the 1st one....
3 steps over, finish initialize sky...
I should know these operation right?

here is the converter

 

Sorry, I use Windows to cycle the MACs. You'll get more help here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-have-a-homemade-streetpass-relay.352645/

 

no...they want money...most problems are fixed by users group, not their dev team…
