I didn't have any problems with this game for a couple of days and then I started getting the freezes. After the last freeze, I rebooted the game and had a corrupt save file. I did a reformat on my DS-X and then reinstalled the firmware update. I just started playing Portait of Ruin again today...... I don't mind the freezes once in a while, but if I get a corrupt save file again, I'm probably just going to buy this game or wait til the next firmware update and hope the issue is fixed.
I got a corrupt .sav file on this game again today! Luckily, I saved a copy of the .sav file a week ago, but the annoying thing is that It'll probably take me over 3 hours to get back to where I was.
