Hacking Lost save on acekard 2i

[jimskeet2002]

Hey
I was playin chrono trigger on acekard on my 3ds and suddenly i booted the game and my save wont show up... It only lets me start new game... :/ the sav file is still in the micro SD as i checked. Anyone has any clue?

Try this:

Back up your save to your computer, start a new game, save, and see if the file name of the newly saved game (for whatever reason) is different from your backup. If the file name changed, rename and restore your previously backed up save to the AceKard 2i.

Ok i will try this.

EDIT: Oh no.... I try to copy the sav file and i get error message saying file corrupt :/ gg............... RIP save file....

 

[jimskeet2002]

Okay.... Today another save file stopped working and appeared as corrupted.... Wtf is this??? Something i just noticed is that both save files were ruined just after using Colors DS homebrew app on my 3ds... Does this have to do anything with the save files???

It could be just your microSD card going bad, unfortunately. I've had quite a few cheapo microSD cards go bad, and they all exhibited these kind of symptoms right before they stopped working entirely. My advice is you make an immediate backup of all the contents on your microSD, just in case.

It is a sandisk microsd that came in package with the acekard 2i from zuzuchina. The only problem i have encountered is that i lost my save files 2 times and both save files were lost after using colors ds :-/
That is strange

I have a problem where my whole card will randomly corrupt, taking out random roms.
Just now it started taking my saves. It's a 4GB Kingston card, and I got two others at the same time and they have no problems.

what class are those kingston cards, may I ask? the ones that were always corrupting on me were the class 2s, but after switching to class 4s, my cards so far have lasted at least twice as long as the previous ones (and are still kicking).

Oh, apparently my 4GB one isn't even Kingston, just some generic no-name one.

Pretty sure it was that.

Pretty sure it was that.

That's even worse.

Any idea what class it is? it USUALLY says on the card, or the box at least (if you still have it)...

Never had a box, and it doesn't say on the card. Ech.

Ick. Well generally, those no-name brands are class 2, which in addition to having horrible read/write speed, just aren't very durable. Idk what your budget is, but you can actually find a class 10 32gb microSDHC card for less than $40 on sites like newegg. I wish I had known they were so cheap myself... a few months ago, I stupidly spent literally $100 on a class 4 32gb mciroSDHC card at Best Buy.

My budget is awful. If it was better, I'd have a DSTwo.

Ha, fair enough. I know how you feel... the only reason I'm lucky enough to have a DSTwo is because my gf bought it for me for my birthday.
