Hacking So it seems that the gba game's native saving doesn't do anyth

[theplasmastorm]

The gba rom naturally saving does nothing. Saving, turning it off, and turning it back on results in new games and etc.
You need to write a save state every time.
Or is it just me?

What game are you trying to save at?check here http://gbatemp.net/newgon/ and see if its eeprom,if it is you need to sram patch it(google gbata)

Could I use tokyotrim to patch sram? Currently trying to play Mother 3 (eng patch) and Rhythm Tengoku.

Did you try exiting via the bottom-screen menu rather than shutting off the DS? Kind of like NO$GBA and it not saving if you dont exit via the menu.

something to do with this bug perhaps?

That is unusual. I've been playing some GBA games and they naturally save.

Are you using a slot 2 cart or the SCDS2 emulator? You shouldn't have to do any SRAM patching for emulators.

Oh alright. It seems that you need to navigate to your sdcard:\NDSGBA\gamerts folder to find all the stupid little saves and name them correctly to correspond with the .gba name. Whatever. Mine were named MOTHER.sav or MOTHER~1.sav
Supercard team needs to fix this crap.
In the meantime, I'll just have to use the save states.

eh? mine save just fine if you exit the emu first
