XIII_rocks 08/27/11 8:27:00 PM #4:	...yes. I am scared of much the same thing happening when I'm playing Pokemon and saving it because the battery is nearly out. WHAT IF IT CUTS OUT MID-SAVE?!!?!?!

Veola 08/27/11 8:34:00 PM #9:	WHAT IF IT CUTS OUT MID-SAVE?!!?!?! Pokemon keeps a backup of your second-to-last save in case the save you're making becomes corrupted. Considering how much data a pokemon save really is and the fact that they do that, it makes me wish people would stop ***ing about "ZOMG ONLY ONE SAVE!?

WiggumFan267 08/27/11 8:45:00 PM #14:	Saving more often sounds like a horrible idea. I'm not scared of losing my progress since the last point. I'm scared of corrupted files. One day my MGS3 data got corrupted. No idea how, I had a few save files but I lost like 6 hours. So I replay. Then I come back again the next day and AGAIN that new file was corrupted. It turns out it was that specific slot was corrupted no matter what I did. I saved to the slot after and had no problems. -- *~Wigs~ WELCO METOT HENEX TLEVEL* I do what Ninten-Don't. <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:265741] in My greates...

Emporer_Kazbar 08/27/11 8:46:00 PM #16:	From: GranzonEx \| #012 Saving a lot doesn't help if your power goes out. It could simply wipe out all your saves. Uh, what? I've never heard of this happening. Sure, I've heard of corrupting/erasing the save you were making when the power goes out, but unless a power surge fried your system, I fail to see how it could erase all of the save data (and ONLY the save data, nothing else) from your game. -- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) http://www.sporcle.com/games/Kazbar/gfaqscontest <cite>Emporer_Kazbar posted [p:265743] in My greates...

Grand Kirby 08/27/11 8:49:00 PM #17:	Yeah, the red light coming on while playing the DS can makes things tense. I really should do a test and see how much time I really have left, because I always worry that even though I'm saving ASAP, the power will still cut out in the middle of it. If I'm at home, I'll put it in sleep mode, grab my charger, and plug it in before saving just to be safe. -- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu That you're a cheater. This is a 12-sided die.
