    Did it work on a previous version of the menu?

    In this case I suspect that the ROM is non compliant for what ever reason with the SC64 (rather than this menu , the projects are not the same).

    On that note, it is probably that you need to manually set the "save type" or other override ROM config setting (in the menu).

    i was testing every possible CIC mode without any luck. For save type it defaults to none however i will test other options and let you know. Thanks

    And Oh... your description was not really clear enough. Given this is an emulator, (for which the save type has changed in the latest menu from FRAM to SRAM to ensure compatibility with the SC64). However, I thinking your issue is with https://github.com/lambertjamesd/gb64.

    Okay, sorry but I have to close this issue as "ED64 specific" (given that ROM was written specifically for that HW) and "not planned" as a menu feature. Make sure you check the discord link mentioned though 😉.
