Save function in FDS games ?

Hello,
I try to play the FDS version of Castlevania with the recent english patch. The built-in save feature is great for this game. However the game seems to not save anything, i start a few levels, make a "save backup ram" and try to reset, and nothing was saved.

Thanks !

make sure you enter the OSD Menu at least once when making any kind of save

Forgive my ignorance as I'm still waiting for my MiSTer to arrive but, it sounds like they did go into the OSD as they selected the 'Save backup RAM' option.

It could be a bad ROM you're using. FDS games save fine on my system. I just tested it with Metroid. However I cannot get Castlevania to save. But I believe I haven't gotten to a point in the game where it actually writes data to the disk.
