    Hey guys my SD card finally came and I was playing around with it and found that when I did a soft reset on some games such as WarioWare it would say backing up Wario.dat but when I would go back to the game it would start from the beginning :(

    Is there a manual way of saving your state?

    Thanks :)

    did you actually save in the game? it'll only backup what it has in the SRAM, and it has nothing in there until you save in the actual game itself :p

    damn cos the thing is with warioware it seems to save itself everytime you complete a character's minigame, but when i go back to it nothing :(

    not exactly sure how you would do that then.. best thing to do is wait til mr_hanky has something to say :p

    i'd say just make sure theres no other way to save in the game itself, other than completing minigames. most games have something like that.. i'm sure warioware does too. i'll have to load it on my m3 to find out though.. sounds like a fun game

    Is it only happening in Warioware? If possible test that savinf works by using a game where you either save manually or where it tells you when it's saving.

    Also, make sure that you have the M3's autosave turned on, otherwise you will have to manually backup the SRAM everytime you want to play a different game.
