I got an extra flash Omega about 3 weeks ago and at first it worked great.
But in the last week I've had the "error 4" 4 times now. I put the memory card in the PC, run chkdsk and delete the files, then make a new saves folder.
I realize the first time was because I shut it off too quickly. But I was playing baldurs gate and let my character stand still for 10 seconds, shut it off, then turned it back on after another 10-20 seconds, and error 4 appears.
I really have no idea how to avoid error 4 appearing. I was playing James bond Nightfire and shut it off in the middle of a mission I had been playing for at least 5 minutes and the saves corrupted. Save corruption just seems like a when, not if question with this device.
This issue makes the device unusable. Its a portable device and if I have to plug it into the PC 2x-3x a week to remove the corrupted files, it's useless to use at work on breaks or during travel.
Shouldn't there be some redundancy in the firmware that creates a backup saves folder and if the main folder is corrupted it gets deleted and replaced with the backup? There could be an option to backup when first starting the system.
The current design where a corrupted save folder makes all games not boot and the flashcard useless until you get it to a pc and clean up the mess it made is a bad experience.
I'm using a ds lite us model and a SanDisk 32gb card.
