[ODECiF]

It's probably a fake game/bad img. have it worked before?

[Squall-Leonhart]

this occurs because the Backup type is set incorrectly.

First create a file in windows and name it vba-over.ini and place it in VisualBoyAdvance.exe directory and open the file up and enter this

or just download the file from the first stickied thread.

[ubuntummc]

true but then I wouldn't have the joy of making a post like this ever again :P

[spiros91]

It has happened to me as well, do you mean to copy and paste the whole thing
or just the name of the game version you are playing? also do you put it in Visual boy system file?

[spiros91]

I fix it
How to fix Boktai, PKMN, DBZ, SMB3...

But I got another question. In Fire Red is it normal to see a wild pokemon from the "new" pokemon like Zigzagoon outside Pallet???

[Squall-Leonhart]

Yes!.

[GigaSP]

Does this also apply to saving problems? I am not talking about saving outside of the game, but inside, if you know what I mean. The problem is is that I am in the last match before fighting the New Pkmn Champion (Name him Gary, or Green, or whatever) and I destroyed him. Then the game goes thruogh the credits and stuff and started over to the beginning. I have to start a new game because....I can't in-game save! When I tried to save before battling, it said "save error-----Please Exchange Backup Memory".

So, what should I do if this topic is related to my problem?

[Squall-Leonhart]

can only be fixed via restarting.

As already mentioned before (here and in other topics) you'll have to manually change the save type configuration to Flash 128k every time you want to emulate this gamer or start using the vba-over.ini file.
But, doing this, you'll also need to erase your old (and useless) save files and save states files. Thus, you'll lose all your progress and need to start the game all over from the beginning.
This is guaranteed to fix your problem.

Although, there is a way to fix the save problem without losing all your progress (you'll need a save state file) but the process is too long en complicate to explain it here.
Use Google to search on Internet, any pokefan site has the explanation fully detailed.
There are no guaranties that this will work and fix your problem but is reported to work 90% of all cases.

[HockeyK1ng]

im kinda new but how do you put the vba-over.ini in the directories

[Clements]

You put the file in the same folder as VisualBoyAdvance.exe, and it works automatically.

Set the savetype to Automatic and Flash 64K also, so you can play other games properly. The Flash 128K save type is used when a game is specified to use it in vba-over.ini, such as the Pokemon games.
