If you’re not playing games that save to SRAM, nothing. If you are, then saving just requires you to do it manually, rather than being able to just shut it off and be done, like the original carts would

so saving is basically like every regular gameboy game?

Not exactly. Some original carts with SRAM would save automatically. You could shut it off and when you turn it on again, your progress would be saved without doing anything manually(eg. Mario Six Golden Coins). In any case, even those games, you still have to do another manual operation on the cart to save the “virtual save”, so the difference is that saving requires an additional, manual step, beyond whatever the game itself requires

Anything other differences besides having to save manually?
