All of my sav data just disappeared. Gone. The cart holds a sav fine now after testing it. It just randomly decided to delete everything.

Everything I had is gone.

Fuck everything.

I don't know what to do right now.

It's not holding savs anymore, and it's taking forever to boot up.

What has happened to my cart?!

have you recorded your stuff?

Go on and write new songs! for your old ones you could just plug an iPod during your shows! (i've lost a sav too and actually for 2 or 3 songs I do this using a Nintendo DS mp3 player hmm )

Your cart needs a new battery. No news there. It happened to everyone. But people backup, so they don't loose everything.

This is a good time to quit too tongue

Oh man, today must be a day for data loss. Having gone through 4 flash drive failures/breakages/losses not counting this one and 2 HDD failures I feel your pain.

RIP NOODLES, you hold every XM, sample, and line of code I've ever created within your lifeless corpse.

Not to mention my huge collection of Bachelor Frogs, Depression Dogs, and Courage Wolves.

Sounds like as good of an excuse to learn how to solder and mess around with PCBs as I'll ever get. I'll report back with the results when I've either fixed it or MEGA destroyed it.

I buried it in a box in the backyard after a short but powerful, cinematic, and at times extremely poignant funeral. Time to exhume.

Don't think of it as loosing all your songs

Think of it as getting all this room to save new songs

yeah. i think we've all learned to back up our shit the hard way. after a cart went bad on me, i keep my tracks on 4 different carts plus have them saved as .wavs on a DS AND a nano. AND have the files on the google data swarm

so, basically, if a nuclear war breaks out, i want to be sure my tracks are safe.

Also, it was announced today that Nujabes died.

Rest in peace, you were a tremendous inspiration and I have many fond memories listening to your music.

Sorry to thread hijack for the second time.
