Hacking Twillightmenu++ corrupted save files

[Yordan04]

Hey guys,
not sure if this is the right place for this post. I recently installed cfw on my old 3ds and downloaded twilightmenu++ to play pokemon Soulsilver. The problem is that my save file often gets corrupted. This happens in about 30% of the times when I launch the game. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue or how to fix it? Other than this the game runs OK.

might be best to mention @Robz8 . he's the developer of twilight menu++, and he's on here often. I've personally never encountered this with any game, so it may be a bug of some sort with that particular game. I think I have that game, but I don't play it.

btw, that sounds more a bootstrap issue than a twilight menu++ one, but I'm not that much of an expert at that.

Is your sd card 64GB or bigger? If so then this is taken from the first page of the official twighlight menu thread on the temp.

No, my SD card is 32GB.

No, my SD card is 32GB.

Sounds like your sd card is about to go on the blink as I have over the last 2 and a half years or so played about 200 ish games using twighlightmenu and never once had an issue with saves.

And there hasn't been anyone else reporting such issues with 32gb or less cards. Or as @godreborn said could just be that particular game has issues but again not an issue I have encountered when playing it.

My sd card is brand new and I just ran h2testw with the free space on the it and there were no errors. It has over 90% free space.

We will have to wait for @Robz8 to see if he knows what is happening then

The saving issue has already been fixed in nds-bootstrap v0.43.2, so it sounds like you're on an outdated version.
Please update, if you haven't done so yet. If you're already on v0.43.2, then your SD card is dying, regardless if h2testw found errors or not. It's the same case with the Windows error checking tool.

I just updated twilight menu++ last night myself. very easy with universal updater.

it will come with the newest bootstrap btw.

 

[Yordan04]

I updated it and it still had the issue. Now I deleted all the twilightmenu files from the sd card and uninstalled it through 3ds setting and then I installed it again with universal updater. Now I am testing it if the problem is still there, I will update you tomorow after thorough testing.

once you've installed the latest again, check if it's actually the latest in the settings screen. I always do that on both 3ds and ds to make sure nothing went wrong.
