iirc the save games are stored on the actual game using a little watch battery (though I'm basing that on older GB games). Battery might need replacing?

I think GBA games run using the Advance's battery, which is recharged with a cable that plugs into an electrical outlet. If the battery was dead the console wouldn't turn on for more than 10 seconds.

I think the problem lies within the game cartridge. It could be dust(blow inside it) or simply a glitch with the game itself.

Thats possible(I am playing it on my ds) I'll try blowinmg on it and see if that works.

Well i tried that but it didn't work I even tried using a q-tip to clean the dust out and that failed I think the cartrage is defective.
