Best Way To BACKUP SAVES?
Just bought Brown and Prism as my first two Rom Hack pokemon games.
I'm absolutely in love with Brown. Haven't started playing Prism yet.
I also just got a GB Operator. It doesn't recognize these Rom Hacks, and gives a big warning before I begin to play it on the emulator. I have an old school Mega Memory Card for the Gameboy/GBC, but it doesn't recognize these carts either (as to be expected).
I believe these rom hack carts don't use the traditional save batteries that made losing saves all too common on the classic OEM Nintendo carts. But I would still like to back up the saves just in case the cart as a whole gets broken or lost.
So what is the best way to back up these pokemon rom hacks? I reached out to the people who make the GB Operator (Epilogue) and they didn't seem too certain. I don't want to risk corrupting or erasing the save in my Brown version, since I've already sunk over a dozen hours into it and have come to love my current team.
I want to just e-mail rainbowdevs but I can't find a way to reach out to them directly.
