I run PocketGB nd the ROMS off my storage card. PocketGB is creating .sav files, but the hiscores are not saving, nor are the "turn off the game in pause mode" games retaining the session.

Any ideas?

Also what do all the the characters in my ROMS stand for:

Name of Game (U)(E)! t a b (J)(A), etc??

I believe U, E, J, A stands for USA, Europe, Japan, Asia (Australia, Africa?), respectively. It basically says which verion of the game (language) you have.

No problem on the OT. This group is really about emulation on the PocketPC as well as MAMECE support.

I can't help on the answer unfortunately. Have you tried sending it to the author? Sounds like a fix might be needed.

The codes are for the region that the game is for US Japan, etc.

I posted in his discussion board, but it's soooo dead there I don't think he even reads it more than once a week.

I had posted a suggestion, as well, that since my storage card was an IBM microdrive (and therefore a storage media that has physical moving parts as opposed to static memory) that maybe there was a timing issue where the EMU moves too fast expecting the response time of RAM, as opposed to a HD.

he never responded to that either. I at least expected a "No way" or a "I'll look into it". Truthfully , he has posted answers and responses sice then, so I was wondering why he didn't ansdwer my post. I'm still waiting. I paid for this software too. I love it, but the most frustrating thing is to play a game like Pokemon (any version), get really good, have a kickass PM, and have to lose it completely.

You get weary of playing like that.

He may have missed the post. In any case I would repost it. Is there no email address for support?. As you said, you did pay for the software so you deserve a response, no matter what it is.

Don't you have even a small CF Memory Card to try out your theory? :)

I have a 340MB MicroDrive but I just picked up a 256MB CF Memory Card for $149 after rebate from Outpost.com! at that price I felt I had to have it (less power consumption and faster access).
Thats cheaper than the 128MB card I picked up about a year ago. Crazy! :)
