    I recently got FireRed, but whenever I try and load a DS game with FR in the GBA slot it deletes the data on FR. Now, you might say just don't try and load DS games with it in, but I need to connect the two for migration and dongle pokemon.

    Any ideas how to stop it? It's really irritating.

    How do I change the backup memory

    It's not too much of a problem now cause I can trade to Sapphire and migrate that way, but if I can stop it that would be great, I mean the game itself works fine.

    You may have a fake FireRed. Is the game cart light red? And is there a Nintendo logo on the circuit board of FireRed? (shine a flashlight where the connectors are)

    Right colour and it's got a logo

    The game is second hand so I can only assume it was damaged by the previous owner.

    You're Fire Red card may have a fault. Mine did, it deleted itself and I had a Dragionair! (but thats not important now ^^;;)

    Anyway, the game's memory gets worn out after having it for a long time and does end up deleting itself, so it may be that.
