Seems like a terrible design decision asking for problems, especially when the game has so much boring text at the start that players are really likely to skip over it without reading it. Apparently the game lets you play it if there's already a save game, but gives you a warning that you won't be able to save. It looks like some people triggered this problem on a real DS and in other emulators. I don't think there's anything that can be done to change this short of something to hack the game's memory (like through a cheat code) so it no longer thinks there's a save game.

It must be tracking the state of the save slot independently of the actual contents, in a way that's captured by the save state. I think the problem here is that the game thinks there's a save game in the save slot even if the save memory contains nothing. Press UP+SELECT+B at the same time, this will take you to a save prompt. To counteract against acccidental save overwrites they made it so people cannot delete their games unless they press a specific button combination at the start screen. The game gets confused and calls it corrupt.Įxophase wrote:I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth trying. The reason savestates were changed to include savegames is because otherwise the game - including Pokemon games - can end up seeing a save game that's been made in the 'future' because it's out of sync with the savestate. If this works I recommend turning the savegame in savestates option back on. So you can delete the save outside of the savestate and it'll still be deleted when you load it again.

Then if you load the game it'll reflect what's in the backup file and not the savestate. You can turn this option off then make a new savestate. There is an option in the emulator that is by default on, that includes save game files in savestates. You want to be able to revert to the old files in case things don't work as expected. The savestate file is in /sdcard/DraStic/savestates and the backup is in /sdcard/DraStic/backup. I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth trying.įirst, be sure to backup your savestate and in-game save files for the game.
