Add ROM to SC app, right click, properties
check off "Enable Save" and "Enable saver Patch" - that is what that option is supposed to do ;)

(unfortunately it does not work with all GBA though :( )

Dudu.exe

Cory..

but the game will still saving on SRAM and you will need QCP to save on CF / SD ..

what about L+R+A+select?  no need to qpc if you enable that option.  i know what you're thinking dudu.exe "it will cause slowdown".. but it is a solution to saving anyway.

It saves to SRAM but at set intervals it writes the SRAM out to the SD/CF card when using the "enable saver patch" - unless Im entirely misinformed and "enable saver patch" is to patch saves like EEPROM and FLASH to SRAM types. Darn engrish.

I do know that it does write out the SRAM at given intervals if the correct patch is applied (causing slowdown in the save menus), but like I said, it only works for some games (not reliable) hence the workaround QPC was discovered and discussed...
