Greetings to all of you! I am an owner of the G6 Lite, and for some time, I cannot save any game, either if it is GBA or NDS game! If I save the game, turn off the DS and turn it back on, my saves are all gone!! I have experienced this problem just recently with games like Phoenix Wright, Mario and Luigi 2, Drill Dozer, even Tetris!!! I've run the Maintenance utility to format the card and I have the latest loader and software (4.6A).
What should I do? :'( :'( :'(

Is it a new G6? If so, unscrew it, adjust the batt inside slightly so that it feels like falling off (like loosening it from the solder, but not completely) and screw it back.

Mine was like you once, but when i tried to change the batt by watning to unsolder it, but i did not, by attempting to twist it off but b4 it actually comes off completely, i decided not to changed already. After that, it has been saving well, even after turing it it off for more than 24 hours, on again, there's still "Processing Data......"

If yurs is a old G6, your batt is bad than:)

Yes, it does!!! Ok, here's the deal. I will use the Tetris DS rom as an expample:

1.If I turn simply on/off the DS without soft reset, my saves are gone.
2.When I perform soft reset and restart the game without turning off the DS, the saves are all there...
3....BUT, after doing that, if I turn off my DS and turn it back on, the Tetris while it loads shows a message where it says my saves are corrupted.

Pretty messed up right here in my opinion! Should I ask for a replacement?

EDIT: My G6 is roughy 2 months old, and the Processing Data screen usually doesn't show...

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.

    Hello
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
