First, save in a game and then press L+R+A+Select. SC will ask you about saving. Choose "yes", wait a while and when it reaches 100%, saving is finished.

Here is a little Tutorial for QPC Saving from Miner2049er:
This works with every GBA Game that dont work with the Real Time Saver.

Basically it is the same for anything such as SCUMMVMDS or SNESDS, you just need a .sav file to go with your game file. Generally they only need to be 64kb so you can create one by running a gba game through the Supercard app.

If you run say game.gba through the app you get

game.gba (patched)
game.sav
game.sci

You can ditch the other 2 and just keep the 64kb .sav file. To use it for different games just copy it and rename it accordingly. So for SNESDS you will have say

Super Mario World.nds

so copy the 64kb .sav and name it

Super Mario World.sav

To use the file you have to use the games built in save facility, so in Super Mario World which you mentioned, you get the option to save after completing certain levels, so you select

Save and Continue

This will put the save data into the Supercards sram. Now the sram data is lost when you power off so you need to write that sram data to the SD Card so that it will not be lost.

To do that, you cannot use the button combo as you would for gba as the game has not been run through the Supercard patching utility, so what you do is a QPC (Quick Power Cycle).

Just turn the console off then immediately turn it back on again, (quickly) and what you have now is the DS booted to the Supercard menu but the sram data still present in sram.

Press right on the d-pad to go to the SAVER menu and navigate your SD card for the Super Mario World.sav file and select it by pressing A.

You will get the prompt

Do You Save To SD?

Select Yes - A

and that will write the sram data to the .sav file.

Next time you run Super Mario World.nds file, the Supercard will also load the .sav file automatically for you and your save data is intact.

Now you know what the OPTIONS tab in the Supercard menu does. If you highlight OPTIONS you will see 2 checkboxes, the top one is

Auto load saver

and it is selected by default. that's what it means. it loads the .sav when you run the relevant game.

I use this method for Goomba Colour, DSLinux and SCUMMVMDS too.

would that work for POKEMON FIRE RED?

Why did you open a second Thread? Did you think we will help you faster?
Pokemon Firered works fine with the Real Time Saver.
When you patch your Game, then Doubleclick on the Entry in the List, and get following Options turned on:

Enable Save
Enable Saver Patch
Enable Real Time Save
Enable more Real Time Saver
Enable Restart

Now you can use the Real Time Save ingame with the following Keys:
L + R + Select + B

This works 100% with Pokemon Fire Red. Also you turned the NDS off, and on again.

Sorry for my bad English. But my teachers didn´t their Job well.
