Game saves are off.

In a couple games it's pretty hit or miss on whether or not emulator will actually save. In Pokemon Yellow I would save then play for another 20 minutes and save again and when I come back to the game later only the first Dave is still there.

I was having trouble saving, I resolved this by placing the rom in the saves directory: ux0:data/realboy/saves. Where is your .gb file?

Disregard my last post. I am still having save issues.

I've tried with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and it works fine, can you tell the games you are using?

Trying it with pokemon. It seems like small intermittent failure. I have stated saving a couple of times to guarantee success.

Yeah I usually save about 3 times and sometimes it still doesn't work. I might Bump it up to 10. Still not a deal breaker, I love being able to use the joystick instead of the directional pad to move around. Overall great work!!!

I've tried quite a few times and all of them have worked. Try with https://github.com/xerpi/realboy-vita/releases/tag/1.2

Even 1.2 has this bug on my side. Tested with Pokémon silver. First Save worked but the rest after it did not. Hope there is a way to fix this. Otherwise Great work. Edit: I have the Game in "ux0:/Homebrew/GB Roms/xxx.gbc" Maybe it's something with the path?

I can confirm this bug with 1.2 and various games. Seems like the first save is generated as file in ux0:data/realboy/saves but then never overridden with consecutive saves

I also experienced this on rejuvenate before once I got to Mt. Moon on Pokemon Yellow, my saved corrupted itself or disappeared somehow. I would suggest to keep a backup of old saves before overwriting maybe for now, could be handy :)

I upgraded to 1.2 but I am still running into the same problem. For now on I'll just play a little, save then reset
