EZ-Flash USA Forum

Before readind please sorry me about of my english...
I opened this topic to ask what is it?
Sometimes some game saves are deleting (They are Classic NES Series-LoZ and link to the past)
They delete... I can't understand when they are deleting...
Can you tell me when this could be
P.S. I have no ds roms at my ez-flash
P.P.S. Maybe my ez hates zelda?

The classic nes games have long had issues- if you must use them (pocketnes and HVCA are far better) then http://filetrip.net/f1696-Classic-NES-a ... tches.html

As for link to the past that should be OK- if it is losing saves I would look to three things
1) The battery on your EZ4- at present it has been several years since most of them were made and it might be on the way out. Just grab a battery of the same number and solder it in. cr2032 (quite easy to source around you if memory serves).
2) The SD contacts- bad connections can make for corrupt saves. This is especially bad if you have a microSD to miniSD adapter (these days most issues on this forum section are caused by them).
3) The SD card itself- a corrupt card dropping sectors here and there will cause corrupt saves quite easily.

The battery can't be, because I have EZ since May.
SD contacts - maybe. I often blow them
So, is it better to save game to reset by L+Up+A+B? omg

My personal experience with the Zelda games is that ez4 only keeps the saves if the filenames are very short such as the 8.3 format.

rename both the *.gba file and the SAVER\*.sav file to zelda3.gba and SAVER\zelda3.sav for example and you should not lose progress anymore.

Same for the classic Zelda. zelda1.gba; SAVER\zelda1.sav
