Ok i have the M3 Lite Passcard combo. My ds games run perfectly fine.

The problem im having is my GBA games always screw up after i save a game (for example, if i try to load the save, i get a blacnk screen or it loads but the game freezes within a second and is unplayable.) They work fine the first time i play the gba games, but after i save them, they fail to load most of the time.

Can any1 help me out? i have the most recent game manager and firmware(updagcsd.e35). Is this problem fixable? And if not, are there other GBA emulators other than the default that comes with the M3 lite and passcard combo, that i can place on my memory card?

Actually i narrowed the problem down some more. Basically i can only play one game at a time to use the save feature. For example, everything is fine if i play a game, then use a save state or use the regular in-game save, and then come back to that same game and load it without playing another game in between. The exact problem im having is if i play a game, then use a save state or regular save, then play another game, then come back to the first game, the save is gone. Does that clarify things more?????????

Ok now its working. i deleted all my games off the gba games folder. I re-added them using M3, and now there is a .dat file for each game.

The only concern is the sram.dat. Do i need that file? everything seems to be working fine without it.
