hey my snes super metroid saves sometimes, I can turn the system on and off with out losing the file, but when I try to put cartrige bak in, it sometimes takes me a few tries for it to work.. and sometimes my save files are erased.. What do you think could cause this?
Thanks a lot!

It will work on any gamecart that uses a battery backup for save data which is pretty much all of them.

@jjgames Well, I have another issue. So, I went to play the game, and I was able to save in the game. I got the first heart container, and then saved. I turned off the power, and the save with 3 hearts shows up, but not with 4. Would this be a dead battery?

Does that work on PAL catridges?

Hey dude, I got a copy of EarthBound for Christmas. When I played it and saved it for the first time, the game didnt save. When I tried it the second time, it worked. When I tried it for the third time, my game file was erased.
Should I clean it or replace the batteries?

Do you only need to cut one of the legs, or both?

@jpizzle73 Just one side. The side that goes into the smaller hole.

I can play Super Mario World, and I can save. But a few hours later I lose that save. Is this due to a dead battery?

@Wolfspydir Yep, that sounds like a dead battery issue to me. You can save with a dead battery, but the save file will disappear as soon as the power to the system is turned off.

@jjgames I just got a SNES game, Zelda A link to the past. I went to blow it to make it work.. it wouldnt let me create a save file. I reset a few times and got the old owner's save files. Then it wouldnt work again for letting me save. Is this telling me that I need to replace the battery or clean the cartridge?

@themeowmaster If you were able to recover the save files at some point then it is not the battery. A dead battery would have no save file data at all. You would usually be able to save and see the save files with no problem until you turned off the system. Then the data would be gone.
So my guess is you need to clean it.
