Shin Megami Tensei: DS ~ Error When Saving?!

    Whenever i go to save the game, after the cemetary battle, i get an error and my game closes.

    This is REALLY irritating because as you know you have to pass through 2 zillion speach bubbles to get to that point, and i have tried it twice with this ROM, and once with another ROM, and all 3 times it closed and i have yet to save my game. :(

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Because this game is really awesome and i want to play it but it will not let me save :(

    Help please! :(

    Thanks,
    ShuriiX.

    Which game? Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, or Devil survivor? I'm guessing Devil Survivor, i remember a graveyard battle at the begining of the game i think.

    Also what is the error you get

    what flashcard and such?

    if emulator, which emulator

    Devil Surviver, i guess putting DS In the title would confuse people ;D

    I don't remember the error message very well, because i can't be bothered going back to that point and trying to save it.

    but pretty much it tells me to re-insert the DS card and try again, however, when i reset the emulator it loses my progress :-\

    The emulator i use is No$gba w_2.5c

    Ah sorry, i just got the DS = Devil Survivor thing when you pointed it out, i feel like an idiot lol. Have you tried saving before the battle to see if you get the error? Can't you save on the world map thing before going into the graveyard?

    That wasn't sarcasm, either :p because it's a DS game and such that's how it could confuse people :D i didn't know you could save the game until it asks you if you want to save, i'll try that now :)

    It's cool :)

    i googled and people on other forums suggested you set the save type to Eeprom - 64 kbit (8KByte)

    Sounds like a good idea, but i have no idea where the save settings are :D

    i just went through all of the emulation options and i couldn't find it :(

    Awesome :D

    remember to restart the emulator after selecting the save type. Hopefully it works and saves your game fine :D

    The problem you are having is the same I am having. The only problem is that this is the wrong thread for it. This was for a problem saving in noGBA with SMT Devils Survivor. The game with the save fail and save corrupted problem is the second game, SMT Strange Journey. There are other threads with people trying to fix the problem. Hope I helped.

    I saw you used No$Gba 2.5, use No$Gba 2.6a with Firmware.bin, that fixes it.
