Pop n' Music on Dreamcast- how do I save?!

[HoshiChiri]

So I've finally picked up a Pop n' music game and controller for my Dreamcast. I've always wanted to try and get good at that game, and my Dreamcast is the only console I've currently got I can run imports on (yay, boot disc!) Here is my dilemma: I can't figure out how to save my game! The Pop n' Controller has no vmu slot. So, I must need a standard controller. I plug one in- the system instantly recognizes it as the main controller & no longer even knows the pop n' controller is there. What the heck am I doing wrong?

I figured out my mistake... turns out when I was moving the controller plugs around,I bumped the memory card loose. I feel silly now.

 

But I'm enjoying my game!
