Re: 128 mb GBA flash linker cart no EEPROM support

it means that any game that uses EEPROM to store its save-game info will have to be patched to work with the FA-linker carts which only have SRAM. Most (if not all) of the existing games have IPS patches available to do this. The patch modifies the EEPROM code to work with SRAM. It is transparent to the game code which does not care about the TYPE of save-memory.

• So does that mean I have to load the rom + the patch onto the cart at once or one after the other? (NT) retroboy322 23:01:26 07/25/01 (1) response
