@Progenitus: So that spambots don't find it, I deleted your email address from your post. What I will do is to move this to the forum though, as that's designed for longer discussions like this.
The new thread is here: http://cyclods.wikidot.com/thread:11
It sounds like you're going to have to buy a new one, although getting it exchanged would have been the better option though you say it's too late for that.
- If you delete the save file off of the CycloDS and start the GBA game without a save file on the microSD, does it create a new file?
If no file is created, it might be as simple as changing the battery… I've linked to a tutorial for that above (but here it is again).
Also, do you know if you have the regular or the plus version? I think it's been roughly 6 months since the plus version was released so if you bought it in that time it's likely you have one of those.

I was wondering. I have a Ez2-1 that was a bad firmware/hardware one. It cant be viewed and what not. You all know how it works with a bad ez2-1. Well.. I was wondering with the option to boot GBA from slot-1… I atempted to use it and it was saving fine. But… for some reason it deletes my save randomly and or when I save a game on a different game it deletes my save on all other games. Is there a reason why it does this? If so can I fix it in any way? / Delete this if it breaks any rules. Im not sure if it does…
Did you mean the EZ Flash V 3-in-1 ? Usually when people are having problems with save files it means that you need to replace the battery, but you said that games still save (meaning that the battery is fine). The problem is that when saving a game, it overwrites any other saves at the same time? I've never heard of that happening before.
Just to confirm… after you have saved a GBA game that was loaded into the 3-in-1, you turn your Nintendo DS off. Then you turn it back on, boot up the CycloDS, and you see a message that says Loading… (SRAM Backup) ?
When the SRAM Backup message appears, that is when your save is being moved from the 3-in-1 to your microSD card. It only happens when you turn your Nintendo DS back on again, so do not remove the EZ Flash 3-in-1 after playing a GBA game, if you haven't seen that message yet.
Leiger. I cant access my Ez 3-in-1. Like at all… It does not even show up or anything. When I go to use a homebrew to access it. it says not is loaded. But… When I used the Ds browser to go online (to see if it worked) it worked… You cant use the browser without the ram but it alowed me to use it. It confuses me. Now back to what i was saying before. I was booting the GBA from the Cyclo. When I ran a game it would work and save and everything. When I saved and turned it off and my save would still be on the Cyclo, I even checked and it said my save file was there. When I reboot sometimes after I reboot and open the game again, When it loads up. It says no save was there and I can only do a new game. It always deletes my save if I open another game even if I dont save. I was told that the EZ Flash I bought was likly a bad model… If so… i cant return it. its been to long to do so. Leiger, if you want to, your welcome to message me at <email address removed> if you wanna avoid talking about it in here due to large explainations and such xD. Thank you though.
