Abzol commented 2 years ago

Nintendo DSi TWL-001(EUR)

SD card nds-bootstrap Ver. Release v0.50.1 TwlMenu++ v23.0.0.1

Lufia - Curse of the Sinistrals (U) [CAC43A4E]

Expected Behavior: Saved game should have loaded

Actual Behavior: Game seemingly unable to read save data

Steps to reproduce

  1. Boot Lufia 2
  2. Press -start- to attempt to skip the intro cutscene. (Expected: It should skip to the main menu)
  3. If unskippable, watch intro cutscene, then press new game
  4. Tap through a few lines of text
  5. Once given control, save, then attempt to load the save back
  6. If issue repros, you will see a "Save Data is corrupt. Data has been deleted" message show up.

Other notes

Several other titles (picross 3d, final fantasy tactics a2, rune factory 3) can save and load succesfully. Savefile is created on the SD card, with (roughly) correct file size of ~9kb. Pushing a save file created from other emulator (desmume 0.9.12#10502f0f) exhibits same issue, although readable by emulator. Emulator reads file created on console as empty savefile. Estpolis DS (C8A8FA8B), the japanese version of the same game, exhibits the same issue.

Try the latest nightly build here, and see if it fixes your issue. To set the nightly build, set Bootstrap to Nightly in the per-game settings (opened by pressing Y in the ROM menu).

Issue persistent in nds-bootstrap 0.52.0 release.

It seems saves don't work at all. After a reset the save seemingly disappears.

Seems to be caused by this error here, from the log:

Error in relocation checking

vAddrOfRelocSrc: 0238039C

EDIT: 687bde6a fixes saving not working, but the error message will still appear.
