DS Flash Equipment > Supercard / Superkey - MiniSD erases itself

#112444 - Rockviech - Sat Dec 16, 2006 12:39 pm

Hello,

i have a problem, its happing pretty often that my minisd card is erasing itself, after rebooting the nintedo ds

i just used it, then i reboot and then ndsmail was missing, rebootet again, it said no sd card found, but my cardreader displays the files, but ndsmail was deleted, dsorganize wasnt

i dunno what i did, did someone have the same?

edit:

now it works again Oo , pretty weird

Don't delete files in DSOrganize. I've found that its file system implementation, at least on my GBAMP, often deletes the wrong file and causes lost clusters. I've seen it delete _boot_mp.nds, which is a bad thing when you're away from a PC for 72 hours.

I've never had any problems deleting stuff in DSO, but I guess I'm just lucky...

Thanks for the heads-up tepples. I guess I'm not going to rely on DSO for that any more :-(

It also doesn't rename properly at all. It just copies the file to the correct name and then removes the old one.

I generally use DSLinux's rm command to delete files. Has anything been reported about corruption using that method?

The latest version of DSO hasn't really had any corruption problems on my 128MB Lexar CF, but use older versions and/or cheaper, bigger memory cards and you could count on it frying the filesystem every time.

The latest version renames and moves correctly. The above problem is no longer valid.
