after saving, QPC (Quick Power Cycle: turn off, then quickly turn back on the GBA/DS) then go to the SC "Saver" menu, choose the game for which you want to save your save. Press A to write it to the memory card.

I am having the same problem with my SC CF, and I don't understand what you are talking about socket.

Is there a specific filesize for the *.sav file? I tried QPC with a 64kb file and it would not save.

oh, right

download this http://scdev.org/files/sc_saves.rar

it's a dummy save and a batch file to create saves for each nes rom

Quotecopy the 2 files (NesFileName.sav and generate_saves.bat) in the folder with your .nes roms

run the generate_saves.bat file (double click in windows)

a save file will be generated for each game

enjoy!

Thanks socket, however when I make a save state then QPC, it is gone when I reboot the game. The game is still in the SRAM because it shows up as the first menu option in the root menu however when I access the save/load menu in-game, nothing shows up. Any idea why? Is a different file required for save states like GBA roms?

Sorry for the trouble.. I was only a specific game that it was not working with.

hey, no problem. sorry for being sort of a prick with my "...sigh..." comment.

If you haven't figured it out, press right at the games menu to get to the saver menu.
