Backup and restore the saver data :

-------------------------------------------------------------

1) Press the "Select" button after selecting a game.

2) A pull-down menu will appear:

eg:

select “Default -> 1”, G6 software will copy the game save data of XXXXXXXX.0 into XXXXXXXX.1 file

Note:

G6 software will automatically load the data of file XXXXXXXX.0 (Default game save data) into G6 sram after user selects the game from inside the "NDS game" icon.  

The game save data will be temporary stored into SRAM of G6flash during game is running. And the SRAM data for that game will be automatically copied into the “Default file”(XXXXXXXX.0) upon booting up the GBA/NDS console next time. Hence, the previous game save data will be permanently stored into flash memory every time booting up the console.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

Normally, games are necessary to use some memory space to store some parameters (game save data) for recording the status, score, money, level etc… To prevent loss of this data and keep continuously to use previous game save data, it is necessary to keep these data for long even power off the consoles. Thus, these data usually are stored in the memory of the cart. For G6flash, the data is stored in the SRAM inside the flashcard. Our SMS (Save Management System) will automatically copy the SRAM data into the “Default Saver” file every time booting up GBA/NDS console. Hence, the previous game save data will be permanently stored into flash memory every time booting up the console. Usually, users may only need to select the game and the game save data for that game will be automatically loaded into G6 from the corresponding “Default saver” file. And the game save data will be continuously to keep. Users may also has an option to copy the data of “Default ” into one of the “Backup Saver” by pressing the “Select” button after entering into NDS GAME loader. It’s very useful for making backup of the game save data or swapping other users to play the same game.

 

Tips:

To prevent saver data loss, please reboot the console one more time without choosing a game to load every time finished playing a game. (The SRAM data will be copied into XXXXXXX.0 file.-Default saver file.)

In addition, users may make use of the “instant save” function in GBA mode (A+B+L+R), the “Software reset” function in NDS mode (A+B+L+R+X). The game save data will be automatically stored into the corresponding default save file upon finishing the reset process.
