The usual suspects are a dying battery, and a filthy gameboy or cart connector.

I've had problems in the past with them, but nothing this frequent. I would suggest just backing up your gameboy files every time you have a writing session it'll save you so much hassle.

Are you using the most up to date version of LSDJ as well? What is is you think is 'triggering' the crash? Maybe just try and avoid doing that?

Created this thread to see if anyone else has encountered trouble with carts corrupting/losing data all the time?

In my experience usually something triggers the cartridge to corrupt though out of nowhere I recently again just lost a lot of instruments and sounds the past few days which regrettably did not back up, nor do I remember so well how I created all of them precisely.

I understand it's not the most reliable equipment to make music on though after enough times of this reoccurring has anyone else felt like not wanting to create further music as a result of losing so much music with corrupt files/data?
