Hacking Save game issues since new year R4i Deluxe Ultra Mega Edition

[jamsplodge]

Hello, I've had my R4i for close to a month now and have never had problems saving a game until the new year. I lost my Zelda and Super Mario 3D Land saves (which fortunately I had backed up fairly recently). I have tried playing again and saving but each time the save is corrupted. I am making sure I save, do home, exit to 3DS menu and then wait a bit, but still, everytime I save the games are corrupted.

I realised it has only done it since yesterday, so reset my Emunand date to 2/1/2013 and now I'm not getting corrupt save games. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me?

So lowering down the date fixes the save corruption issue? My Professor Layton save file corrupted when I switched the ROM with Zelda and then came back to Professor Layton.

It did for me though I can't say I have done any extensive testing. All saves corrupted before changing date. Not since. Worth a go I reckon.

Just out of interest, since R4 just rips off Gateway, are Gateway users experiencing the same problem?

Could you backup your save files and then change the date back to see if the problem was (randomly) fixed?

Going back to version 3.0 and using it without emunand seems to fix save corruption issues for me.

Have a Gateway here and no issues whatsoever since i have it.

I imagine that sucks to be stuck on the previous year or firmware version.

i was throwing the idea about a while back that gateway could put a "bug" in on purpose that would only effect clone cards after a certain ammount of time had passed so it would pass their checks then promptly backfire.....hmmmmm

I think it more likely that the cloner's where not able to do their gateway ripping job properly.

Oh well, 4 saves in and I'm corrupt again. Must have been a fluke. Back to earlier firmware then I guess.

Why not try V3.2?

Ah ha! I will do that! Really should pay attention to the news Thanks for the heads up

Please do let us know how that works. Their readme file comments on "fixes for saves" or something similar - maybe this issue?

I saved the game, exit and repeated this 15 times. No corrupted saves anymore.

 

[Huntereb]

It does. I saved the game, exit and repeated this 15 times. No corrupted saves anymore.

Congrats, it wasn't your fault! Now go have fun!

Does it make curropted save files work again?
