I just purchased a 'Lost Age' game off of Amazon, but when I play the game it simply starts off by letting me name the characters (no continue file to choose from), and when I try to save, it says "Unable to detect backup memory".

I've googled this, and apparently I'm not the only one who has had this problem. It also seems that this problem cannot be fixed. I'm ordering another GS2 cartridge, in which the description says that the 'game holds a save and has a continue file'.
My question is, what causes the game to not be able to save, and how can I prevent it from ever happening? (The only thing worse than buying a GS game that won't save is buying the game, getting halfway through the gameplay, and THEN the save feature messes up. That would be a big, big bummer.

).
Also, I hope this was the appropriate section of this forum to post this in, as it was a 'Lost Age' cartridge I had this problem with.
