How to load a realtime save?

Hi there, I just got my CF supercard last night and bought a sandisk 128 meg CF card.  At first when I launched a game and tried a realtime save or a normal save, the GBA would just hang at the please wait screen... thought I got screwed on the supercard.  Then I updated the firmware to 1.6 and everything works good now, I can use the normal save and realtime and it takes about 2 seconds til I'm back in the game.

But how do I load my realtime save???  I can't figure that out... I know it's a noob question and I'm a noob so.....   :)

Thanks!!

Are you talking about NDS or GBA, NDS doesn't have real time save. With GBA it is the same as saving you just choose load.
Supercard SD, Sandisk 2 GB, AData  256 MB
Supercard One - 512MB Transcend
Pink DSL with flashme v8a Org-FW  haven't checked

Sorry, it's a GBA SP I'm using this on.  Do you just mean you choose load in the game?  So if I'm playing Mario or something and I chose a real-time save in a level, I can just fire up mario later that day, choose the saved game from the mario menu and it'll take me back in there?

Thanks!

Quote from: "cheerup347"if you select real time save when patching the roms. when you are in a game  and you want to load your real time  save you press  a key sequence (this sequence id in your superccard menu when you go left and right and you will see useful codes)

hope this has helped!

Ok, so I have to make sure I choose realtime save when I convert the ROM in the SuperCard software.  Then it looks like I can use the same key combo (L+R+select+A) that brings up the save option to bring up the load option maybe?  I can't remember if the realtime save option was checked when I converted my games... I'll have to check.

THanks for the info, I'll check it out!

Ok, found it now.  If you use that key combo I said in the last post then you get the real time save menu and you have the option of save AND load, I didn't see that before. I tried my tomb raider game and the game just loaded to a black screen... maybe it's the game, maybe I don't have the roms accepting realtime saves... who knows.  But I know the procedure now.

Thanks!
