SRAM Backup and Restore
Problems this may resolve:
- losing saves because of overwrite by another program
- lack of knowing how to save/restore the SRAM with Neo Power Kit
Backup the SRAM to a file (this only works for apps/roms that save to SRAM/GBA_save)
1 - make sure you are using the latest version of Neo Power Kit.
2 - Plug the Slim Loader with NeoFlash Cart in it into the USB port you installed it to.
3 - Start Neo Power Kit
4 - Under Saver Operations click "Save All"
5 - pick where you want to save the SRAM file, and name it
- be sure to keep .nsf at the end of the name or the app will hang (NPK 1.1)
6 - wait 5-10 seconds (no lights or message to tell you its done)
check for the file where you saved it
7 - if it does not produce a file after a short time or Neo Power Kit does not respond (hangs)
try unplugging the Slim Loader from the USB port and a file may then appear.
8 - this created a file that is a copy of the entire SRAM (4x64K banks creates a 256K file)
Restore the file back to SRAM
Follow above steps 1-3
*4 - as of NPK 2.1 - you must select a rom from the list before clicking restore all or the restore function does nothing.
4 - Under Saver Operations click "Restore All"
5 - Pick the file you backed up "whateverfile.nsf"
6 - wait about 10 seconds, no lights or complete message will be displayed (NPK 1.1)
7 - the file has been restored, if it hangs the app try unplugging the slim loader.
