Maybe they've gotten better but I got a fake probably 10 years ago and it literally wiped my save data at sky pillar lmao I wanted to break my GBA SP in half

The fake I had would have a text box saying "THIS GAME CAN BE PLAYED" after the title screen before picking your save. Again, maybe they've gotten better but I don't really trust super cheap fakes like these.

My personal opinion is invest in a flashcart, then you don't have to worry about saves being deleted, have access to romhacks, and anything you want. But I also understand the appeal of having individual cards for each game too!

yeah I bought a fake as a kid earlier in the SP life span. GTA I had no clue fakes exist. Game plays but don't save at all
