I've got an Acekard 2.1 coming at some point from DealExtreme, and a scenario with the EZ3in1 occurred to me:
Say one flashes a 32MB GBA Game to the NOR. One plays the game, and saves it to the 3in1's SRAM.
One then reboots the DS, and opts to load an 8MB game into the PSRAM. One plays the game, and saves to the 3in1's SRAM.
Now: It's quite possible that I've missed something relatively fundamental about the architecture of the 3in1's SRAM, but surely if one then tries to load the 32MB game which is in the NOR, it will pick up the save from the 8MB game, display an error, and overwrite the SRAM with a save for this game, ultimately clearing your 32MB game's save?
Or is there a routine which, when it backs up the PSRAM game's save, it recognises that there's a game in the NOR, and re-sends the NOR's save? (obviously, on loading the PSRAM game, it would have to backup the NOR game's save)
I tried to search for a similar question in the Acekard board and the EZFlash board, but didn't find anything. Additionally, the AKAIO wiki is currently down. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any information. It's just been nagging at my mind for a day or so, but it would cause quite a bit of wierdness. And save loss D:
Thanks, and well done with AKAIO, Smiths, Norm and everyone else who contributed! It's what convinced me to get myself an Acekard. XD
