    I got myself set up with the M3 + Passcard 3. I figured out how to get NDS saves to work, but when I play GBA games I get this message:

    Warning! NDS GAME SAVE in card but Cannot find Atuosave backup file. Backup fail! Press A to continue.

    Can anyone tell me whats going on here? I thought maybe I needed an autosave.dat file. Thing is if you notice the message spelled it atuosave. No clue if this is purposful or just a typo on their part.

    Are you transfering the games to the card using the gamemanager? although the M3 can play unpatched GBA games, it dosn't create savefiles to back the save upto the card - hence the autosave message.

    Yes, I am using gamemanager. I have the GAMESAVE dir and a .dat file for each GBA game. It appears the games are saving. Should I ignore this error or do I need an autosave file?

    above the error it should say the file name that it cannot write to. Find out what file it is and make sure there's a save for that one.. the message will not go away until after a few reboots.. a small GBA bug i guess you could call it :)

    Your right Pakixd. It took about 5 reboots and fixed itself. I didn't change anything. Thanks.
