Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team not saving #165

It simply doesn't save. It claims to, but upon reloading the game, there is no save file to continue off of, or that it can read, and it just starts the game like it's the first time, with no continue option. I googled this and found to edit some configuration, but when I try to load the .hmod onto my SNES classic, it cannot emulate any games at all. (version 1.0 was edited, not 1.0c, couldn't find the folder version of 1.0c).

The comments also stated that this was supposed to be fixed in an update a few months back, so am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I'm stupid. Solved my problem. I used FTP to edit the files necessary. I was able to edit the bin file from there. Changing 'sleep 3' to 'sleep 5', as suggested, did, in fact work.

Since information on the old thread was a bit dodgy, I'll explain it for people who have problems here.

I know NOTHING about software, and networking, so my instructions will still be slightly vague. First, in Hakchi, enable the FTP connection via Tools > FTP Server On

Second, get a FTP client, I use FileZilla. NOT A SERVER. You need the FTP Client to CONNECT to the server. The username and password is in this format: user:pass, not sure if the username/password differs for others. The 'Host' is the number shown before the ':' (should be your localhost), the port is the number show after the ':'.

Third, go ahead and connect. Go to your 'bin' folder, and find 'retroarch-clover-child' (you need to have installed retroarch first). Open it with Notepad++, or other advanced text editor. (I use Sublime Text 3. DO NOT USE BASIC NOTEPAD, IT MAY MESS UP THE FORMAT). Find 'sleep 3' and change it to 'sleep 5'. Save it, make sure your FTP client asks if you want to transfer the new file back to the server (Some may do it by default), say yes. Make sure the new file sent.

Your problematic games such as Mother 3 and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team should save now.
