snes powerpak game save problem

hi, sorry 4 the noobie question but just wanted to know how to save a game with my powerpak lol holding reset for 5 seconds doesnt prompt me to save bram to cf (as stated in the manual) instead my snes cycles regions (i have a switchless snes) is there a homebrew app i can use? thanks in advance

 

With a SiperCIC you need to double tap reset to go to the save menu.

 

tried the double tap reset, doesnt do anything on my snes just reboots the menu

 

so theres no way i can save a game with a snes powerpak on a switchless snes?

 

i just read that you have to press reset twice within a ludicrously little amount of time to prompt the save dialogue i have just been trying that for the past 10 mins and i still cant save my game -_-

 

Do you mean the PowerPak menu or the game menu? If you are returned to the PowerPak menu it means you are doing it right, but the game doesn't have SRAM.

 

resets game if i try it during the game, i cant get the save prompt, i tested on my super players console held reset for 5 secs and it works, just cant get it to work on my switchless snes

 

still no joy, that double reset thing is doing my head in, gonna swap my switchless snes for a virgin one i think...

 

You probably have an old SuperCIC version or a different switchless mod which doesn't have support for the PowerPak. Which means that it is impossible to access the save menu.

 

i guess i have a older mod then thanks for the info TPSNT think im gonna find a virgin snes

 

If that powerpak has a region free CIC already inside, and you want the snes to stay virgin, get ntsc.

Better game play experience than going back to 50hz.

 

iv got a super players console which is universal, the powerpak displays a message on the lines off "not for use on a blah blah system" so i guess my powerpak isnt region free

 

super players is a clone, not nintendo hardware. you probably know the mini snes was never released in pal.

 

yep and super players looks identical to the mini snes apart from the decor.

 

Hey mate, I avoid saving on the PowerPak. To me, it is strictly an "arcade" device. I use it for quick plays and lugging it to other people's houses, so I have my entire collection with me but in 1 cartridge. For save games like RPGs, I play on the real cart. It's the way to go IMHO. PowerPak is strictly used for convenience. I also do have a few games on there that I can't get anywhere else, too, of course
