GBA Zelda link to the past corrupted files
BigLou9886:
Hey guys and gals,
I decided to replay Zelda LttP on GBA and when I booted the cart up all three saved games were wiped and it said file one is corrupted file two is corrupted and so forth. When I attempt to create a new file it says can't save file is corrupt. I've never had this issue before with any game looking for some insight on a solution. Do you think the battery is dead? Or is this cart dead ? Any info is greatly appreciated
JDavis:
Probably the battery.
Kriegspire:
I dont believe save files are lost if GBA games' batteries die. Look at pokemon, only the internal clock dies out.
I'd have to guess it's probably a faulty cartridge, dirt/grime on the connectors, or some piece of the circuitry burned out.
Not 100% on that though.

I believe it is the cartridge that is bad :'( its a sad day when a zelda game doesn't work anymore

I bet either the GBA, the cart, or both have dirty contacts. Start there as far as diagnosis goes as it's free and easy.
