Saying "works fine if you're not a n00b" isn't particularly helpful...

Anyway we all know by now that we can manually change to Flash 128k every time we play one of these games in order to solve the problem. But I thought the point of the vba-over.ini was to make it automatic, so we don't have to do it manually every time.

So, does anyone have any idea why vba-over.ini works for some people and not others? I know, I know, this is the part where Squall and several others chime in with "It works for everybody who didn't do something wrong." OK, that's fair. Then let's see if we can help each other figure out what we did wrong.

So I've downloaded vba-over.zip. And I've extracted it into the same folder where VisualBoyAdvance.exe lives. I've even checked the Game Code under File>ROM information and made sure it matches the Game Code listed in vba-over.ini. So far, so good? I'll take it a step further: VBA "thinks" it's working. I go to Options>Emulator>Game Overrides and it has the right settings, the right game code, Flash 128K. The only problem is that when the game starts, it still says "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed." and when I try to save the game it still says "Save error. Please exchange the backup memory." Oh yeah, and I already deleted all the old .sav and .sgm files.

Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?
