Created an account just to say how amazing this project is! A modern, straightforward and portable Tetris is a dream coming true.

A minor issue that I encountered is that for some reason the game doesn't register my scores. I play it on my 3DS using the Virtual Console and I used the New Super Ultimate Injector to put the game in there. Other GBA games in there save normally and I used the sane method to put it there.

But well, besides that, I honestly say that this is one of the best fanmade Tetris out there.

Thank you!

I just checked and by default New Super Ultimate Injector disables saving for the game since it can't find it in it's database. You have to manually set the save type to SRAM for saves to work!

Oh, I didn't know it! Gonna try it, thanks a lot!

Hello again!

Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I really want to fix this because I really want this to work!

Using the Beta 27 of the New Super Ultimate Injector, the Rom Save Type is set permanently to unknown:

So, I tried GBA Tool Advance to patch it, and apparently, it doesn't have a Save Type...

And because of that (I think), I can't seem to patch it.

And using VisualBoyAdvance-M, it doesn't generate a save file too after I opened the game for a minute to play it, and unfortunately, it doesn't save it.

Again, sorry for the lengthy comment.

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated!

Since the game is new, it's not going to be on any database so nothing auto-detects the save type. It looks like NSUI 27 doesn't let you manually set it, but I found the beta 28 here which does. You could also use the old Universal GBA VC Injector which also lets you choose the save type.

GBA Tool Advance patches the rom to support SRAM, but that isn't necessary since the game already does. Your problem is getting the VC Injector to use the correct save type.

In VBA-M you also have to manually set the save type to SRAM by going to Options > Gameboy Advance > Configure. Set the save type to SRAM 128k before opening the rom and it should work
though I'd recommend switching to mGBA.

Hope this helped!

Hello once again!

Thank you so much for the help! It finally works!

Used NSUI Beta 28 (after fighting my antivirus and putting an exception on it) and now it finally saves!

Sorry for the lack of knowledge and again, thank you so much.

Wish you success!

No problem, I'm glad you got it to work!
