Hi,

I have a weird error where the game save will be "erased due to corruption" every second time I beat the Elite 4. Each time it happens I will need to use VBA in order to continue the game :\ Is it possible to fix this error?

I don't remember using any... although, some information I forgot to add:
This didn't happen before I put the .sav into VBA. Maybe it has something to do with VBA's save mechanisms, seeming as it outputs a 64KB file instead of 128KB.

Sounds like you found the problem. In the VBA emulator under the options menu go to emulator then save type and have flash 128k checked. Convert the save back to a m3 .dat file and you should be good to go.

Im using VBA-M so not sure if any differences will arise. When your running the game go to options/emulator/save type. Choose save type flash and flash save type size 128kb. I was able to get a 128kb save file size using this setting. Disregard my pm.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
