Many games using libretro GBA core won't save?

[Roo]

Using 2.6 SD card image, with libretro gba core – in game saves don’t seem to work at all for many games.

*.sav files are being created in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gba-gpsp-libretro directory – even when the game gives an error saying it couldn’t save.

Is it just me or can anyone else confirm this? (by the way, I can save state no problem in every game I’ve tried)

For example:

Advance Wars:
Seems to save OK but when I exit and restart the game, it won’t load the save and starts from the beginning (input your name)

Advance Wars 2:
Same as 1 – seems to save OK but when I exit and restart the game, it won’t load the save (no option to continue, have to start a new campaign)

Golden Sun:
When attempting to save, I get the message “Unable to detect backup memory.”

Mario vs. Donkey Kong:
When launching the game, I get the message “ERROR Flash hardware could not be detected. Saving is disabled.”

Wario Land 4:
Saving works normally

Zelda Minish Cap:
Saving works normally

Yeah, I have a similar problem with GBA. When I played Advance Wars and decided to save a state, it worked sometimes. To make it work for sure, every time I save a state, I save it two or three times more.

Haven’t tried Golden Sun yet. Every other emulator seems to work fine for me though…
