How do is save using QPC and flashme -

i am using nds patcher on fifa, with a .sav file of the same name - e.g. fifa.nds and fifa.sav.

I save in game and turn off and on again.

Do i need the NDS in manual or automatic mode and do i need to press abxy as per usual with flashme - if i do  - i do not see anything in the sram (i assume you need to see the top line saying the name of the game as with gba games.)

please tell me -:
1.do i use manual or automatic boot mode for nds.
2. do i use flashme i.e. abxy to turn back on in QPC?
3. do i need to see the top line with a name like fifa~.sav after QPC for it to have worked or do i just find the .sav file and click on it?

Sorry for the noob Qn.

Cheers

quickly reboot the NDS (gba or nds mode) and go in the saver tab, choose right .sav file, then press A to copy the sram data to the CF/SD card.

Fifa doesn't work with QPC method because it doesn't save to SRAM (save patch of ndspatch fails). It saves to the original DS cart.

Fifa works fine with QPC method just tried it right now

Cheers for the help - Fifa does work with it (Yay!). Got it working. In answer to my Q's. Just turn it off and back on holding abxy, then as stated above go right and click on the saver. I am now on automatic boot mode.

The QPC trick is driving me mental!

I cant get it to work...   Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this to work in GBA mode with Riviera but I've had no luck with NDS Roms

I've tried with both standard SuperCard patched software and NDSPatcher.

I'm using a Metroid Prime Cart, do I need a 64K or 2M cart even when I'm saving to the SuperCard?

How quick do I have to be with the Power Cycle?

I've tried the method with :

Advance Wars DS
Lunar - Dragon Song (Patched with NDSPatch)
Trace Memory (Both Standard Patch and NDSPatch)
And heaps of others.......

Any Ideas?  (I feel rather stupid at the moment)

Lunar definitly works with QPC. Here are the steps I do:

1. Patch it with ndspatch and rename it to .nds
2. Copy it to SD card together with a .sav file from another game with the same name as the rom
3. Play the game and save in it
4. Shut the DS off, and immediatly on again into DS mode
5. Select the .sav file in the Saver list and press A twice

That should do it.

Like lord_kthulu, I have the same problem. Using SD version... it just does not want to save to SD, even when it says it is doing so and I can see the byte count when it is saving to the *.sav file.

It somehow just keeps the save file in the NDS cart and does not update the sav file. I can tell because when I look at it in the PC, I can see it has not been modified.

I did everything MetroidPrime mentioned.
