I know, that SD cards aren't that compatible with ScummVM. neverthless, I should be able tto save. Sadly, it doesn't work.

I copy the nds-file onto my cart via M3 GM, just as it says in the manual. There's also a corresponding savefile created in the NDS savegamedirectory.

Every time I save, I receive the message that save was sucsessful, but when i restart my NDS, there are no saves to load (ScummVM also freezes, if I try to exit a game or to load a save before reseting (before reseting, the savegame is displayed in the loadmenu).

Does anyone have an idea, what could be the problem? The card works fine with normal roms and homebrew. Dunno if it's important, but it's formatet in FAT32.

Thanks, Yuki

   

I think you have to set forcesramsave=true in the .ini file cause direct saving to SD is broken.

   

What's the difference then? does it save in another way or to another directory? i'm not that good at such fings and don't qiuet understand...

   

If forcesramsave=true then the saves are saved in the M3's SRAM and stored on your Flashcart on the next boot up, just like with commercial roms.
If forcesramsave=false then ScummVM tries to directly save to Flashcart, which as far as I know is broken on SD devices (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

What you can do is set forcesramsave=true and copying your Scumm file with the Game Manager using Dierct copy.

   

Saving directly to SD card works on some combinations of SD card and reader, but many have problems or don't work at all.

   

Arrh, the config.ini isn't saved either, so i can't change the file :/

   

Just create one and save it there.

And it's called scummvm.ini.

   

Is it in the same folder as the scumm-file? And could you copy the whole configtext into this forum, so I know, what's written in there`

Thanks alot, Yuki

   

It's in the root of your card, scummvm.ini, or scummvmb.ini if you're using build B

code:

---

[ds]
forcesramsave=true

---

   

Hum, works more or less.. I just have to quit via turning the DS out instead of using the "quit" function.

Thanks


is there a way to save the registered games in the ini, so I don't have to register them every time?

Ifyour battery runs dead (aren't they rechargable?) you can quickly turn off and turn on your DS to save (quick power cycle).

It's not an idea, it works nearly with every device like Supercard too (which doesn't have a battery at all).
The battery should be exchangeable...
