Final Fantasy III DS Save Settings Help

Ashton · July 27th, 2008

So I read this on the FAQ:

Inside the Options menu, look for NDS Backup Media. Your choices are listed there. Most games uses the setting EEPROM 64k, but a lot of big Nintendo titles and RPGs use Flash 256k. A few games (Zelda and Pokemon to name a few) use Flash 512k.
No game uses FRAM, and incorrectly setting it as the save type will eventually corrupt your save file.

Now when I start the game, if I start it with Flash 256k it doesnt detect my save setting and I cant even start the game so I read somewhere to set it with FRAM even tho this says not to.

Well I saved the game and also while in-game changed the settings to Flash 256k and 512k and saved with those however when I went to load, none of them saved.

So what is the correct setting for Backup Media which will let me play this game =D

Thanks!

Auto Save? How do I do that?

The correct save type for that game is Eeprom 64Kb. The FAQ you read also provided a link to a thread which provides more detail on how to save in any game, but I highly doubt you even check it. >_>

As for the auto save, that's only available in 2.6a.
