What is the process of saving to SRAM? All I know is to save the game at the save point in the game. Is that saving to SRAM?What is the process of backing it up to EEPROM? I use xg2 pro because I am using a GBA SP, not NDS. A lot of the buttons don't work on the software, lots of bugs. Sounds like what you are suggesting is a little too much for the software to handle. Thanks for any answers...
"When using the neomax GBA flash cart or similar, it's best to save to SRAM while playing the game, for maximum compatibility and speed, but when you're done playing the game, back it up to the EEPROM so it's safe."
Well you're in luck, because when you use XG's software to load your GBA roms onto the flash cart, you may have also noticed that it flashes a menu system as well, in case you want to use multiple GBA roms on the one cartrige.
The saving to EEPROM is done via this menu, just follow these instructions:
When you are finished playing your game (i.e. you've just saved it), do NOT turn off the power just yet!
Press Start+Select+L+R to "soft reset" back to the menu. You might notice that the name of the game you were playing is listed on the bottom right corner. For example it might say "SRAM: GBAZELDA" or something.
This is telling you that your save game is currently held in the cart's SRAM. As with the RAM in your computer, this can be erased when you turn your cart off, so it's best to back this up to the card where it will be safe (just like your roms).
The best way to do this is to load a DIFFERENT game. As with the MK3 software, you will be prompted to backup your save before loading another.
