Hi everyone!

I'm running an R4 (v1.11 firmware) since Xmas and up until today had
no problems at all.

But today, i saved Zelda- phantom hourglass and when i turned my DS back
on, even though my sav file is still on my micro sd and seems fine, and the game loads up fine still, it now takes me back to the beginning of the game!

I've been told that my Zelda sav file should be 2 mb, but it's only
512k when i explore my micro card on my pc, as are all the other sav
files for my other games (mario kart, simpsons, drawn to life,
thrillville, etc...)

Is 512k the standard sav file size, and any ideas on what happened to
my Zelda sav file? Has this happened to anyone else?

thanks heaps, happy new year!

I have never had this problem, but the zelda save size is 4 mb(4 mbits), which is 512 KB. 512 KB is the standard size for the saves. Please note that zelda doesnt save in your exact location. For example, if you save in a house, you will start back on the island in the starting location.

if using the latest firmware doesn't help, then you probably have a bad dump and should get the rom from another site.

That sucks. I used the Wifi backup tool to take the Save from an original Zelda PH cart, converted the save using the r4 conversion tool, then just named it the same as a rom I obtained elsewhere and it worked fine.

    @Skv0ra Pegi releases are cheaper but I only am collecting ESRB rated games

    @BigOnYa,
    newest/reboot kinda sucks?

    lmao I'm making some mods to one of my MTG decks to turn up the pressure on it a bit and I'm watching the combined card value just skyrocket.

    >$600 USD value of cards so far and I'm still looking at making more changes.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    this game is dumb.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    $600 for a deck that will become obsolete in half a year. No wonder it's nicknamed "Tragic: The Moneypit."

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My friend group plays Commander so the amount of "obsolete in half a year" is virtually nonexistent
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Never really got into Commander.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But that is also affected by the meta changes with every new release.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not as much as modern/standard but still.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    LMAO yep. TCG official rules are some of the DUMBEST shit i've ever seen besides Warhammer prices
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    kinda why I honestly like, watching, VGC stuff
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah idk for the little over 2 years I've been playing so far at least, I don't feel like the meta has changed much at all in Commander. I've been playing the same 2 decks, both virtually unchanged, for the past year and a half, and there's been no real change in their performance over time against others that have been building new decks with each new set
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    Whatever Pokemon was in its release hay-year, is what it'll forever be once final update hits and you can play that shit decades from that point on just fine
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And I'm trying to see if there's anything I don't love enough in here to swap in favor of a Mox Amber, Lightning Greaves, Basilisk Collar, Akroma's Memorial, and possible Panharmonicon.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    thats a neat site!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @Skv0ra I have a bunch of tins I need to let go of somehow. they just take up space
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    anyone know if that new mark of the wolves game that is on ps4 is coming to switch? I should take a look
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    looks like ps4 is all I can use to pirate it when it gets released lol
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    I don't collect physical copies of laser media
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    although I do have legit stuff opened for ps5 :|
