The limitation is that to an emulator FRAM and a battery look the same, so if you look online for a list of GBA games that use batteries it will be very deceptive because it'll probably include a lot of games that have FRAM instead of a battery. FRAM is interesting because it allows for a large save space and a really high write limit, which is great. Again, it's got EEPROM and batteries like the N64, but also FRAM. It's one advantage of the stuff.)Д«ut yes, the GBA also uses batteries in some games. (Battery-backed SRAM doesn't have a write limit. Later in the generation Flash RAM came a bit later in the generation and allows for more save space than EEPROM, but N64 Flash RAM has a much lower write limit which will probably be a problem in the future. EEPROMs are great but they allow for a much smaller amount of save space than they could get with a battery, so games that need larger amounts of save space on the cart used batteries.

I believe that at first on the N64, only a battery or EEPROM were available. The different types were used because each one has different sized amounts of save memory, so the choice was made based on how much save space a game needed. On the N64 and GBA, however, Nintendo used several different save types, including batteries, EEPROM flash-memory chips, Flash Ram flash-memory chips, and, on the GBA only, FRAM flash memory chips.

Almost all GBC games which save also have a battery. Maybe it's issues with certain save files or something.Д¬lick to shrink.Now, for the NES, Game Boy, and SNES, all games which save have a battery on them. It works for most controller paks, but a few randomly won't read in it which is annoying. I still don't have a way to back up N64 carts, though I really should, but I do at least have a Dexdrive. I have one that doesn't work but I got it that way, all of my others still work fine. I've had no issues with regular Performance memory cards, though.

Do make sure to get regular Performance Memory Cards and not the Pro ones, though - the Pro cards are a 4X card which uses compression to fit four memory card spots into one, and as a result are less reliable. It's crazy that a third party (Interact/Performance) actually used battery clips, something Nintendo never did, but it's fantastic for preservation purposes. Presto, the pak's good for another decade or two! Of course you'll need to back up the save files beforehand somehow, but I love these because of those battery clips. Just unscrew the card, it uses normal Phillips screws, pull out the battery, and put in a new one.

For controller paks, for anyone like me who still hasn't gotten around to teaching themselves how to solder, look up Performance's memory cards for the N64! They are those oversized cards that are about twice as tall as a Nintendo controller pak, but unlike Nintendo use a battery holder inside for the battery.
