The battery might be empty, or there might be some other fault. For example, if you've ever opened the cartridge, you might have damaged a resistor near the top of the PCB. (Common problem on non-USB bleepbloop carts.)
If you can get the file off of the megamem, transfer it safely to the computer and end it to me, I can have a look at it. Maybe I can get something useful out of it. Of course, you should use a cartridge with a working battery for the transfer. You also should also avoid starting the LSDj version that i on the cartridge between transferring it from the Megamem to the cartridge, and from the cartridge to the computer.

You know the really annoying thing is, I was going to buy a usb cart a few days ago & didn't. It's a sign. I'm definitely ordering some in the next month or so.

At the bare minimum for flash carts, I recommend getting the 64M EMS USB Flash carts. You can back them up to your computer via usb cable.

Just so I know for the future, what is the best way to back up sav files?

I'm so confused.

DMG cartridge contacts
MMC contacts at both ends
Flash cart contacts

Try uploading SAVs onto a different cart.

Report back.

this sounds like what has happened to me on multiple occasions. welcome to making game b0y music smile

Basically, I turned on my gameboy to practice for tomorrow, & one of the songs on my lsdj cart hadn't loaded properly & was all messed up, it's happened before, which is fine, I have all my carts backed up on a mega memory man, but when I loaded the back up files from the mege memory man, it just loaded a blank lsdj cart, with no savs. Am I making sense? sorry, if you have any questions so I can be more clear I will try my best to answer them.
