I'm using the Goomba GB and GBC emulators on my GBA Everdrive. when i play a game the emulator creates a save file in the emusave folder but wont read it the next time i boot the game. im not trying to load my own save file from another emulator or something, its literally its own save file the emulator creates itself yet wont read it. the files are all ".srm" and the file type for the ROMs is set to SRAM on the everdrive. what am i doing wrong?
Update: Ive learned that Goomba doesnt do autosaves and that i have to manually save with the L+R menu. problem is, its still not reading those either. i create a save, i can see that save in the "load save" menu. i can restart the game with the "exit" option and then load the save in but once i power down the system and start the game again the "load save" option doesnt show any saves anymore and my save is gone again. same thing with the "autoload save" option enabled.
curiously it also doesnt remember my settings for the color palette and frame but i dont know if its even supposed to be able to do that, youd think so at least.

Did you ever figure this out? I am also having this problem.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
