X-Rom saves erase by themselves?

I have an X-rom 512 and use little writer to put my games on there, and I noticed when I save in too many games I lose my saves in other games.  Is there a way around this?  Anyone know what my limit is in how many saves I can do?

how many games did you put on? wow.. i have x-rom 512, and have had up to 8 games on it, and never lost a save.  

apparently the sram of the x-rom is 2mbit, but it can store more saves than that, by copying to/from flash memory when the game is loaded. perhaps the card is filled completely to capacity and can't perform this function?  

do you mean it lost a save of a game that is currently on it? or a game that you removed temporarily (to put another game on)?  Littlewriter tries to do a lot of things automatically for you, and will remove the save of a game that is removed.  I always backup my save slots when i add roms. just in case.  so far, my x-rom is my favourite GBA cart.  except recently it is not contacting properly in my GBA SP.  one minor bump and my games freeze.

I dont remember how many games I had on it, but yeh it was full.  Im talking about a game that is currently on it having its save erased.  Im gonna leave some space on the cart and see if it still happens.
