EZ FLASH OMEGA SAVE PROBLEM

[MiNiLaFusee]

Hey, I am experiencing difficulties saving games on my GBA SP using the EZ Flash Omega. I have updated the firmware to the latest version available.

The problem manifests in two ways:
Unsaved Progress: After starting a game, saving my progress, and then restarting the game, my progress is not saved
Corrupted Save File: In some games, I receive a "save file corrupted" message.

Your microSD card have corrupted cluster, you have to backup up your save immediately. and use any disk scan software to fix your microSD card, which the Windows system have a disk scan tool can do it.

There's a folder on your sd card with corrupted saves on it now. I forget the name. Might be the regular save folder but I can't remember. Delete them all and from now on, allow for a few seconds before you shut your gba off after saving in-game and also allow for a few seconds when powering it on and off. I believe the card needs a few seconds to save properly.

I didn't notice the first reply came from EZflash themselves. I'm blind I guess. Am I remotely close to a good suggestion though?

I don't think that the problem is my micro sd card because I already tried games with 3 other different micro sd cards and I had the same problem + I reformated 3 times my sd card.

Are all the games you've played not saving at all?
If so, your coin battery is probably dry.

You can use the addon reset function to know if the battery is a problem or not.
If saving fails even with the reset function, there seems to be a problem with the s71 chip.

what is the addon reset function ?

1. Make sure that the reset check box is enabled in the settings.
2. Run the game with boot with addon.
3. Save from the game.
4. Press the L+R+START button at the same time.
5. Select RESET as the direction key and press A.

When you return to the menu screen, verify that saving is successful.
Run game again to verify that the save is correct.

I would get a replacement, sounds like a hardware issue.

It's hard to know exactly because it's not the original firmware.
Can you delete the existing save file and try again?

It does the same thing with the original firmware. I think i'm just gonna ship it back.

then it's not a battery issue.
It's more likely a hardware issue.
