Guys, who using Altra64 (custom firmware on ED64 plus) on your N64, someone explain why this happening... So when I start a New game in example DK64, then I push the reset button, start again and continue the game, randomly I switch the Power button off, all my saves gone, which is already saved on the sd card, why this happening ? With the original firmware doesnt happening this, If I have an already saved game never lost my files. Please help me someone :( I noticed the savegames doesnt lost Eeprom 4k games, only eeprom 16/flashram. Altra64 has much sharper fonts, the wallpappers looks better, the menu can manage more colors etc. want to use this but I have a problem saving bigger games, like DK64/Zelda/Conker which using Flashram and eeprom16k. Super Mario 64/Golden Eye/Banjo kazooie these are using eeprom4k small saves, these are never lost. So any way to fix this, or upgrade the old menu ? Thanks !

could be that alt64 was written only for v2,5 krikkz cards even newer krikkz v3 and x7 cards have problem running this menu

plus it got canned by saturnu very early on so those save fixes for fake ed64 cards didnt got implemented even on the "new" fork there are missing

This thread isn't about Alt64.

OP is asking about Altra64, a fork of Alt64 specifically designed for the "fake" ED64 Plus cards
