I just started using sky3ds and seeing some games has the EEPROM as NO. what does that mean. I noticed the game Pokemon Alpha Sapphire has EEPROM NO and it won't play with samsung 16 micro sd card.

There are basicly two different cards for 3ds Games. The so called card1 games have an EEPROM chip (-> EEPROM=Yes), where the savedata is stored. Its about 1MB in size. This savedata is seperated from the ROM (for you: game) itself. Those kinds of cards are common for most games.

card2 games are a bit different. The ROM there contains a user-space, where the savegame is written. So it does not need an EEPROM to store savedata. (-> EEPROM=No) The savegames are not necessarily bigger than on card1 games but could store more data. Pokemon for example is a card2 game.

I noticed fantasy life stores saves on the 3DS itself (sdcard) and these saves are not interchangeable. what category do they belong to?

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
