check your cart manufacturer's website for updated drivers and an incompatability list.  also, your cart may not support rtc(if it is one of those cheapo ones you get off of ebay)
one more reason might be that the rom needs to be patched.

What flash card do you have?  Also, what program do you use to flash with?

You could try formatting your cart and trying again.

There may be an error with the save function also so if you have the option, I'd format the save battery too, or at least delete the files in there, again, only if the program you use for it allows.

Others will know, but doesn't DBZBF need to be patched to play on a flash cart?

Well frist , the patch is for going into grand kai's house . Second , the game was patched and third , thaddius do you know if there is any thing that can change the save type of a rom ? Because I found my problems . It's because my cart trun every rom's save type into SRAM so they can't save .

I meant the EEPROM to SRAM patch.  My loader does it for me.  Most (if not all) flash carts will only save via SRAM.  I'm going to check a few things and get back with you.

Other things you can try if your flash writer allows it...

Format your SRAM slot
Format the cart

I use littlewriter for my cart.  I'd try it Littlewriter

((edit:  I can't find your cart.  Where did you get it?))

If I'm not mistaken you can use whatever flashwriter you want.  Try Littlewriter.  Atleast it'll let you format your card and SRAM slots.  If it doesn't load you can always use your writer to load and Littlewriter to format.
