From Ebay I got Rudra no Hihou (NTSC) some days ago and the cart delivered today, the game and box is in a really good shape and already after first attempt, playing the cart via an old Action Replay 1 and a PAL cart in the backside slot made it playable; finally having the original cart, wheee

The thing I have trobule is ... saving
Whenever I save on the world map or on a statue inside a dungeon, it saves correctly first; even when I die in a boss battle like or reset my SNES, the file still is there.
But when I turn off my SNES and turn it on again, the two save files are empty

I don't think it's the game batteries, since the game is from 1996 and even my far more old SMW1 or Sim City still have their saves; though all my still older NES cartridges with batteries have their save data still too ^^
I also had no problem with the seller, since he was very competent and nice and, as stated, the game itself was in a very good condition when it was delivered to me.
May it be one of these games with a stupid adapter-prodection, like when you attempt to try MarioRPG on a PAL SNES via adaptor (only runs with an old "Fire" one and NOT with an Action Replay 1-3) ?
I know that ARP are well known save killers, but if an adaptor runs a game fine but doesn't save; may that me the ARP really ?

It can actually be the battery in worst case, batteries can die in quite short time. If you have bad luck...

I heard that the expected lifecase for batteries is around 10 years.

It could be something else to thought... does the AR works correclty with other games?

Pop it open and check the connectors. I had a Gameboy game like that once, worked fine but the save files never stayed. Turned out to be a scratch on one of the pins.
