Ive been lookign around this site and it seems that patching the FR works for some people. Could you tell me the steps to patch it please?

Thanks

Put the .IPS file in the same directory with the rom and check the auto IPS patching.

Yep I did that. I still am not able to save because the battery needs to be replaced and I still get the same circuit board problem. Any ideas? Could it be a problem with the save file types? They are sgm right now.

Thanks

Are you reloading your game states cause to get it to work after you patched it you'll have to start an new game, also i think you'll need to open the extract the rom file if you haven't already and open that one.
if there is still an problem use an ips patching Program on this site

Im realoading the save states to play. Its the only way I can save and load. (From the states) Wut do you mena by the extracting thing. I tried starting a new game and I still get the same error.
