It's probably my fault

I accidentally pressed the save to SRAM, then turned it off. Turned it back on and wouldn't boot at all. Said i was missing that Menu.dat file..

Scandisk gave me 982mb worth of CHK files..I just formatted the thing clean.

I know it's not common maybe it was just a fluke. Just advising everyone to backup your stuff before using any homebrew. Had DSorganize corrupt my card a few days ago by not being able to delete it, but at least i could still access everything else.

It's a brand new Japan Kingston 1GB btw

You're suppose to do save to sram if you want the emu to write over the normal save from the game to the card. By normal saves I mean the saves the game itself does, not save states.

which file? the DS told me it couldn't find the menu.dat and with good reason. The whole card was corrupted. Not much of news but i've put everything back on my microsd and everything seems fine. even with sram saving. Mightve been some moment when i shouldn't have turned off my ds while saving.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't have mine patched w/ DLDI the first time so I was really lucky.

the title is a bit misleading dontcha think ? I mean, it was actions you took, that corrupted your card, and not the app itself causing the damage.
