    First post here, to begin with I have to say thank you to Krikzz for making such an amazing piece of hardware along with software!

    Secondly, I need some help with the game in the title.
    I'm running Chaotix rom from the goodgen set with the Everdrive on the Megadrive2(J), 32X(J), Mega-CD2(J).
    The game runs fine, but for some reason it won't save...
    I know Chaotix uses FRAM so it must be the same with "Sonic the Hedgehog 3".
    I've tested Sonic3, and this plays and saves just fine.
    I also tested the actual real cartridge of Chaotix that I own, and this saves also, so it must be something that the Everdrive is doing wrong.

    Is this problem just me, or are other people having the same problem??
    Are there anything I'm missing to get Chaotix to save games?

    PCB version 2.2
    OS version 14
    Firmware version 9

    Any info/help is appreciated

    Krikzz, thanks for the reply.
    Is it possible to modify the header to include the RAM usage marker?

    hmmmm, interesting....
    I searched 0x1b0 in my hex editor and the value was already 52.
    Does that mean that the header is OK and the problem is something else??

    BTW I found out that NeoMyth cart also had same problem, but it was solved by some guy here.
