Questions and help with DGEN

whattup guys im new here..

im having problems SAVING on my DGEN 1.2.. how do i save properly w/o it being erased after i shut off the psp? ive tried to reconfigure the keys but i still cant figure out..

secondly...

does DGEN 1.3 work with Firmware 2.6?

DGEN 1.3 works with 2.6

However, saved files seems to be erased at program quit...

is there a way to counter that problem with saving or do we have to deal with that in order to play the DGEN?
