if that was your first batery in the GBA flash cart,
you may have handled it too much which means it could be flat,
it is best to hold them of the side only not on the top or bottom.

Some of the batteries that come bundled with neoflash products are fairly old and not fully charged (you can test with a voltmeter to verify).  Maybe they have been sitting on the store shelves for a long time before being sold...

I dont get it, why the battery. Why does it need the battery to make it save-able.

Here's my question: Why can't the save be like SD saves, where it auto-saves to the cart?

They're thinking about adding a feature to backup gba saves to the SD card, just like with nds roms...

Ah. And this will come when there is a menu that supports .gba files on the SD card, I'm assuming.

I'm not sure of the order of what will be introduced first...  The coders have their own work schedule they adhere to....

And this is for the mk2/mk3 menu (sorry if I didn't make that clear before)

Ah. Makes sense. By my interpretation of what i've read here, the only way a menu would run GBA games would be through an emu. Is that correct, or just my misinterpretation...

The menu can't run the gba rom directly from the SD card (gba mode has no access to the ds slot).

 It would need to be flashed to the gba cart first... so yeah, you're on the right track  ;)
