Long story short,

2. Copied a game on it
3. Disk becomes corrupted
4. All files on SD card has weird letters. (ie

5. Possible to recover my .sav file?

Reformat? Maybe try restarting your computer?

Getting your saves back? Kinda slim chance...

Next time, backup your Savefiles.

How do you do that? Just in case something happens to me :0

This happened to me once.

I had to reformat. Nothing else worked. Through a few hours of toiling I managed to save the files, but they were corrupted beyond repair. Just reformat. You'll lose all your save files but it's all you can do

I suggest backing up your save files every time you plug in your card to the computer (Keep some saves folder on your desktop and drag/drop your .savs every time you plug it in.)

DON'T REFORMAT YET, IF YOU WANT YOUR SAVES.
Download/torrent a program called GetDataBack. (Demonoid/Mininova have it)
Run it, recover your MicroSD.
Copy files to a folder.
Then reformat.

I was able to recover all my saves using it.

Backing up your saves is easy as Copy + Paste onto your Desktop/into a folder.

Next time, get into the habit of this. It'll save you tons of time.

I backup my saves onto a flash drive, just in case my computer suddenly dies.

how big is your flash drive?

 

[DarkAura]

It's just sav files, like 512 kb each. And I use two 2 gigs.

Jeez...

You really need two 2 GB Flash Drives to store your DS saves?

According to my calculations, if you take 2GB and divide it by the size of each R4DS Save. (512kb)

2GB/512KB = About 3905 Saves...

Hell, you could fit every save of each ROM on there right now if you wanted to.

It just sometimes does it out of the blue.

I used Lameboy once and I saved in Links Awakening, and it left a 0 kb, undeletable file on my MicroSD. and Files kept disapearing.

It started to not be read by my R4, so I checked it out and it was empty. So I reformatted it and it works perfect ever since. Good thing I backed up my saves.

(I can't confirm the GetDataBack thing... Sorry)

How do you connect your Micro SD card to the computer? Because i use to use SD card adapters and plug them into my card reader, and for some reason every 4-5 days the Micro SD card would become corrupt and it wouldn't let me copy anything to it or take anything from it. So i then bought another Micro SD card USB reader (lost the one that came with my R4) and my Micro SD card hasn't become corrupt for 3 week straight.

Hmm.. All I know is the Silver/Black reader that comes with the R4 is complete, utter crap.

I use the MicroSD Adapter that comes with my Kingston MicroSD. Very fast transfering speeds and never corrupted for me; unlike the R4 adapter.

My SD adapter was a SanDisk, that could be a reason, or a crappy card reader but i haven't got the silver/black USB reader anymore, that's the one i lost and the few times i did use it it was crap. I bought a different one from some computer shop in Australia and it works great.

Naw, SanDisk adapters are pretty reliable. It was probably because you used the crappy R4 one before.
