I just wanted to make a quick guide on how I think EEPROMV122 games can be fixed from not saving on the newly released Open_Agb_Firm for 3DS. It took lots of testing and frustration so hopefully someone will find this for themselves and implement it in an easier way.
A dumped Boktai rom needs altered in 3 ways: SRAM patch, IPS patch, and SRAM Hex edit. The downloaded tools needed for this are GBA Tools Advance(gbata), a sunlight IPS patch (there are several), and any free hex editor(I use HxD.) Of course you'll need the open_agb_firm installed on your 3ds too.
1. Open gbata.exe and select your boktai file.
2. Select the SRAM Patcher tab and save location/filename. Patch the rom.
3. Select IPS Patcher tab and use your sunlight patch.
4. With your fully patched rom, open it in a Hex Editor and search for 'EEPROM_V122'
5. Replace the values as shown and save the file.
6. Drop the completed ROM on your SD card and test running from Open_AGB_Firm. It should default to using the default mode 14 (sram 256k) to save.
I've tested this playing off and on for over an hour with no save issues so far. Sunlight and plant growth works as well. I've also done the same with Yoshis Island with success.
