Hardware Retrode 2 Question

[zhaskey]

Came here because apparantly the original retrode forum seems to be overwhelmed with spammers currently,
Anyhows..

Bought a retrode 2 not too long ago because you know snes batteries get old and need replacement, but at the place where they can do replacements, they wouldn't do savegame backups so far, so i had decided to get myself a retrode 2 and thus did, however, upon reading the snes cartridge, everything seems fine, the rom and the sram file show up, however, when copied to the PC and tried with an emulator, the emulator refuses to recognize the savefile so far, i've read that for example emulators and original devices read memory differently and so then that becomes a problem regarding this situation, at this moment, i wouldn't know if putting the SRAM back on the cartridge after a reset, is still gonna guarantee a readable savefile, my question here is, can someone help me out verifying the savefiles actually work before the SNES-Cartridge is being sent for battery restoration?


Thanks for taking the time to read the question.

What game? There's a used game store near my house that does rentals I could try flashing your save and seeing if it works

SNES rental games in 2024, nice

I guess something might already have changed since the original post.
For Sega's Mega Drive there are flashable cartridges with batteries, maybe something similar exists for the SNES. Else those Everdrives usually work.

They rent all the way back to NES, and possibly Atari 2600, although I haven't asked about that console specifically so I might be mistaken about the 2600.
