WELL THIS IS INTERESTING.. Retron 5

No problems since the update until last night. Tried my first SMS game and the saves were wiped. Is this a known issue? I'm not one of those people that is attached to old saves, but I'd like current ones to not be deleted.

I thought they fixed all the save extracting features.

I thought it was the Gameboy, more or less Nintendo on the whole that was reporting save eating issues so they worked on and supposedly fixed that.

I'll try some other games later. I only tested one SMS battery game. Hopefully it was a one-time thing.

My SMB2 cart as mysteriously decided to no longer be read on my system. I reached out to the techs PM box on facebook a few hours ago.

Works on real hardware before and after cleaning it twice. It's got me confused.

Check the pins in your NES slot (you probably already did). Problems started for me when Snake Rattle and Roll wouldn't read (other games would) but shortly after that, almost everything stopped reading as the pins were too damaged.

What error is it giving you? I started getting the "ERROR: Failed to dump ROM" message.

[Tanooki]

No error, just doesn't detect it as being in there. I've already checked the pins under a good light source, straight and clean as when I got it.

I'm thinking it's software, but even the tech was saying hardware so I don't know. I am running that 2.0b1 so I have no idea. Maybe setting it back to 1.6 could help I have no idea.

I placed 1.6, no change. Used bootgod, found that River City Ransom has the same MMC3A chip, it loads. Found another I had with the right TSROM-03 board, that loads too. It just only hates SMB2.

Not sure if it's the same issue as yours, but I recall seeing a YouTube video where a guy was also having problems with a SMB2 cart. It was the ONLY game he was having issues with and it wouldn't recognize it at all. He said something about it being the version without the Nintendo Seal of Quality on it.

Maybe just deleting any save states and anything else related to it? Is it trying to boot it with a game genie code? Sounds like something going wrong on the software end.

That might work. The tech suggested it on Facebook recently to a guy who had trouble. Delete all internal saves and any other SRAM or Snapshot files you may find for the game you're having trouble with through the internal storage file manager.

[Tanooki]

Worth a shot, their email guy told me to do the dreaded PC based hard flush and restore of the core base system software which seems extreme.

I don't use codes and don't have them even installed at this point on there so game genie is out, but good thinking with angles. I hadn't considered erasing internal data.

[Tanooki]

I tried a total system wipe on their website where it goes into that black screen 'root' area to reset it, it did no good. If SMB2 is invisible and Gargoyle's Quest 2 is a little sketchy to detect to load, I'll just send it back. What good is a warranty if you don't abuse it properly to make sure it's right.
