Noob Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance Q.

Howdy - I just bought a used Castlevania HoD cart without a manual, and am getting the hang of it. But I can't seem to save my progress. I found a Save Room, and also did the Quick Save in the menu, but it never saves my progress after I shut it off. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a little battery in there that's dead? If so, is it replaceable?

Thanks for helping a noob in need.

It sounds like you may have a pirtated copy of the game. If you can return it and get your money back, do it. As for a good copy of the game, look for the Castlevania Double Pack for the GBA, those aren't pirated as much so you'll have better luck getting it.

Not sure, but maybe a bit impatient when you go to the save room? You go to the room, select yes, then you should be back in that room.

If not, your battery in the cart is dead or you have a pirated copy. Gamestop/eb is for some reason stating to sell LOTS of pirated copies of harmony of dissonance and aria of sorrow lately.

ohwait...but if it is the battery that's dead, can that be easily replaced? is it recommended or not?

Batteries can be replaced but you have to send it in to Nintendo (and it may not be free) and if it actually IS a pirated copy you are SOL there too.
