EverDrive GBA / Re: Anyone back up saves with a GB01 and then move them to the Everdrive Advance?

« on: November 27, 2020, 05:19 AM »

I backed up all my saves awhile back with a GB01 cart reader from Sub Module.  It wrote all the saves as .sav.  I just ordered an Everdrive Advance X5 and want to bring those saves over and just wondering if anyone has done that? Or can say what I need to do to get them working on the everdrive?

Thanks in advance!

if they r raw saves sure jsut name them acordingly to the save format each game uses .fla ect...

I actually own the original cart, but was playing on the Everdrive because I thought my save data would be safer, ironically enough...

thats still pirating

Great, so 100+ hours lost because the Everdrive overwrote a save file without asking me...

Yea the flashcart took revenge on u for pirating

Turned on my GBA the other night, but it came up with the "Internal battery has run dry" message.

Don't need the RTC for any game I'm currently playing, but when I tried to continue in an RPG (Super Robot Taisen R, .fla format save data), it wouldn't recognize my save data.

So I installed a new battery, but was still getting the "Internal battery has run dry" message, so I updated the firmware.  That seemed to fix the battery message issue, but my save data still won't load.

Backed up the save data file to my PC, started a new game, and confirmed that the new save data works.  Copied the old save data back to the ED, selected the old data in the GBASYS>Save folder then used "Copy file to RAM", but the game still doesn't recognize it. So did my save data file get corrupted somehow?  Will attach the save file if anyone wants to check it out.


Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

if save was in ram then battery died its gone for good

EverDrive GBA / Re: Request: OS update to allow automatic copy sram to file after in-game saving

« on: November 15, 2020, 06:57 AM »

I just mentioned in another thread, but I wouldn't mind at least a menu option to manually dump the save file.  Same w/ a RTC option so you wouldn't have to load into Boktai to check/set it.

never will happen

Why's that?  The cartridge is already capable of running a routine to dump the save ram to a file, so why would an option to manually run that never happen?

Because Krikzz will never add it

It would be nice if there was a menu option for manually dumping the save file.  Or like the EDGBx7, adjust the RTC right from the menu. 

Anyone know of a particular reason those options aren't a thing?

the honest truth?

So the GB and GBC folders correctly sort into proper alphabet but for some reason the GBA games don't. You can see in the picture below. This occurred even before I foldered them by letters, which I was hoping it would fix the issue. When viewing on PC the files are correctly in alphabetical order on the sd card so I am not really sure whats up lol.

I am running on the latest OS.

Because windows ignores the toc while the flashcart does not u will have to use a toc reformatting app such as fat sorter
