Hi, I'm playing the digital version of Year 2031 using an EZ Flash Omega cartridge. When I save the game it says it's saved, and I can find the save file in the folder, but when trying to load, it says no save file found. 

One thing to note is the battery on my flash cart is dead, so all of the save file dates are 12/31/1999. This does not affect the saving or loading of any of my other games, but I thought I'd mention it in case that could cause issues for Year 2031. 

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi. Dead battery on EZ must be the problem. 

I am not sure, how exactly EZ works, but on my original cartridge is game saved on RAM powered by battery. If battery dies, save file dies also.

Ok, thanks! I will try to replace the battery and see what happens. 

I believe GBA flash carts use an emulator, so you need to open a menu by pressing L+R and press "exit" or "restart" after saving. This is how it works on an Everdrive at least.

Thanks, Babloid. I have an Everdrive incoming, but I'll try that with my Omega and see if that works. 

So, I received my Everdrive and am somehow  still having this problem. I can see that the game is actually saving a file, but when I try to load the save it can't find it. Totally bizarre. Is it possible that my ROM is bad? Do I need to move the save to somewhere specific for the game to find it?

Update: I was apparently using a faulty version of goomba for gb/gbc emulation! I grabbed a different version and the game is saving now. Thanks all. 

Having same issue on GB operator. Game saves and on restart the game loads up. But on exiting the emulator software of GB operator it doesnt load the game. 

GB Operator looks like a fun piece of tech. Have you checked to make sure you're using the latest firmware? Looks like 1.0 is the latest.
