My wife has been playing the new Zelda for about a while now, and is about half finished. Today I put the newest firmware on the DSTT, and her save won't work anymore. Her save is 512, and now the new save the game generates is 1024. I've tried to rewrite the old save, but the game just writes a new one. What can I do? Am I fucked?

Oh yeah, it's the fixed xenophobe version of the game, not a clean rom. If I download and use a clean rom, will I be able to use the 512 save?

The old save is the incorrect size, and will eventually corrupt no matter what you do. Your only real option is to let it make the new save in the proper size, and have her start over. Either she restarts now, or she restarts after she's made even more progress.

The only way is to start over with a new save, or just stick with the 512kb one and potential random crashes. There is a utility to convert your save to 1MB, but it doesn't work right.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm not sure how happy she'll be with this, but life goes on.

Thanks again

If it's called 'ZeldaSave.rar', then no it won't work. The author of that program has claimed as such. It'll make it 1MB but still have the corrupted save.

Can't remember what the program I used was called, but it seemed to work fine. She's been playing through now for three weeks, and there has been no problem whatsoever.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
