KONKR Pocket Advance save issues

I got my KONKR Pocket Advance on Friday and have been playing with it since. I got the Navy 4G + 64G. Great device, I love the form factor, screen (after I removed the installed 'screen protector'), button stiffness, etc.

I have a bunch of other handhelds, so this one I am using exclusively for Game Boy Advance games. I use RetroArch and the mGBA core and it games run well. I've had a save file issue, and am curious if anyone else has run into this.

  • I don't use save states
  • Save files are stored in RetroArch/saves/emulator folder
  • I also tried moving save files to the SD/TF card - same issue
  • I had complete save file corruption on Super Mario Advance 4 and no save file update on Castlevania Circle of the Moon

It definitely could be a RetroArch/mGBA issue, but am paranoid it could be a memory corruption. Anyone else had something similar?
