Unnofficial SNES9X GX Edition - Snes Emulator for Nintendo Wii

Err... this is very odd. I am able to save Seiken Densetsu 3 perfectly, right? Right. Now one of my other games, Super Mario Kart, that used to have no problem, is having the same problem Seiken Densetsu 3 had, and I did nothing to Super Mario Kart. I fixed SD3 like you said, with the hex editor changing the internal name, but SMK wasn't having any problems until now. It's Error -7 0 still, btw.

Question Time

I really wanna start saving in some games. But I'd have to buy an unofficial memory card.

Should I bother finding one and buy it?
or
should I wait for an update to save straight to the front SD card?

Are we talking weeks till an update or a few days?

Minimum weeks, maximum months. I don't know the status of the next toolchain release. I wouldn't go out and buy a 3rd party card w/o asking what people here have. Most of the problems people are having is either their card is too small or there is an error in the ROM's header.

I use a 123 block Intec and it works just fine.

I was trying to track this down and the fact that the sram will work when it is the only file on the memory card but errors out when there are others implies to me that it is a bug in the code and not a problem with the memory card or rom file. If it was a mem card or rom problems I don't see why it work work when it is the only file, it should work ever. I was going through the code and the only thing I could come up with was there is something wrong with the CardFileExists function since when this is used in both the load and save and when the error occurs you can't load the sram or save over the existing file.

My card is a Madcatz 1019 64mb card and it works perfectly (with or without a 1st part in the other slot), just in case people want info on cards that work.

That sounds simple anough to fix. Hopefully that means a v4.5 release. Is there anything you found that could explain why Nintendo-Brand Memory Cards won't work?

If anyone who knows what the different error codes are is reading this, could you post them as a referance?
