Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks help.

I'm sorry if this was already asked or something but I couldn't find it. But anyway I am using the (U) version and I patched it and everything it is working fine, however even when I save it and then turn my DS off the game doesn't save and I have to start all over againAnyone might what the cause of this is??Thanks in advance =)

do you use the start butten and then touch the save and quit butten.
then you start at the biginning of the temple or somewhere in the town you are.

Okay i had this problem also, so lets start from the beginning. what flashcard do you use?
