    Hi I'm using R4 Original w/ wood r4 1.12
    My problem is a couple of my roms started to ignore save files

    The first one is the legend of zelda: the spirit tracks, when I start the game it creates and overwrites the save file and says new game, when I reset the game it works fine and it doesnt ignore the file it creates

    The second one is more weird, yugioh 2010 reverse of arcadia, it creates a new save file and says new game and after saving I reset my DS, when starting yugioh it creates new save file and says new game again!

    I mean it doesnt make sense at all
    Any help would be appreciated

    Were these existing save files from your previous firmware?

    I believe Wood R4 uses the .nds.sav name, rather than just .sav
    Rename your old save files you are trying to use.

    I know that already, which I forgot to tell other games works perfectly fine
    The problem is only those two games

    Ok, I tried it with my brother's R4 and it works on it
    That means my R4 is broken or something? What kind of error is this and how do I fix it

    Back up and format your Micro SD card. Chances are it is just a minor firmware issue that happened due to old files not being completely overwritten when placing the new firmware in.

    Formatting Micro SD solved the problem of yugioh's (Thanks to Nathan Drake)

    I also found the problem about zelda's:
    My save file is 512 kb, but the game always creates a 1 mb save file
    even though I change save type to 512 kb it keeps that way
    so how can I make it back to 512 kb?
