ok i just got my LE SCDS2 today and i set it up (EOS 1.08) and tried to play MMBN6 gregar (lightforce dump) now i can play it fine but the ingame save option can be picky when it works (i have just been using RTS) by picky i mean if i save 10 times 1 out of the 10 will work but it seems to be random to which one works

,i tried this with NDSGBA 1.21 with the latest game_config.txt and with 1.30 (it runs smoother with 1.30) i also got a strange error on 1.21 when i tried to save via the ingame option after a certain point (if you know MMBN6 after you get the student ID from Mr. mach) it would say save failed,but upon me restrating and doing it again i don't get this error (but still the selective save error)

i was maybe gonna try falzar version to see if it also had this (ill have to later on because i don't have the time nor the USB card reader with me)

From what I could tell tell the GBA emulator will not save properly if you do that. To solve the problem all you need to do is open the menu and choose exit for the game to save properly and then if you want you can re-enter the GBA menu from the main DSTwo menu to confirm that it did save.

I was in the same boat I lost a lot of progress on Mother 3 when I found out.

hopefully its changed so it keeps the save regardless in the future as if i did MMBN3 and it didn't save that would be so hell


atleast now i know make sure i keep a RTS of my place incase it doesn't keep it


another question do you know how i would make a .cht file? (the one for MMBN6 from cheats.gbatemp is isn't in English)

I can't remember off hand but I can give you an example of one I made.
---Example---
PAR_v3 (M)
e3867a25 806c0ddb
ae6b830a a8006ef1

PAR_v3 Infinite Health
c746328a 2787b50a

PAR_v3 Infinite Missiles
a6f25692 a02899d7

PAR_v3 Infinite P Bombs
75e86f4b 8a26f96a




This was a cheat file I made for Metroid Fusion when I used the gba emulator for psp, I used an action replay code so it was PAR_v3. I think there was a guide on gbatemp for making codes but i could not find it.

Exact same thing happened to me. Same game too. Haven't been able to make myself play it again to regain all my progress.

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
