Your device

Tell us which card you are using:

  • [ ] (Slot-1) Flashcard

If this issue only affects a certain game, which game is it?

All .gen roms.

Expected behaviour

If I save in jEnesisDS state, it should create .jst on SD card, it just creates .jst in RAM disk, which will be deleted on reset.

Actual behaviour

Save states get deleted, since they are stored in RAM disk.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Genesis game
  2. Save state in jEnesisDS
  3. Reset
  4. Start the same game again
  5. Try to load state

Epicpkmn11 in the DSi Mode Hacking server:

Would it be possible to somehow use the power button IRQ to run some function to init the SD and write the RAM disk content? Or is that not possible since it's in DS mode?

Might be worth looking into, if it hasn't been already.
