Question about saving game on NesDS

OK, here is my dilemma I have NesDS on my R4. When I am playing Super Mario Bros 3 and then save state, it works just fine. I just click load state and it takes me right to wear I last saved state but when I save state then power off later powering back on and load state I get nothing at all. Any body know how, if possible, i can save my game, power off, and then come back to it later and resume?

Hmm, it might just be stored in RAM at that time before the IPC entry disables. You might have to just keep with the old regular saving.

Yea probably, thanks.
