Self Erasing Files.

[Benjo Koolzooie]

Well, it happened to me on Mario 64, and has happned to other people, well it happned to me on Banjo Kazooie the other day. I turned the game on, and all my files had been erased, turned it off, back on again, still gone!

I played the game from the begning untill I got to Clankers Cavern, as I entered the game locked up on a black screen, so I pulled the cartridge out, and put it back in, and my files had re appeared, as if they never dissapeared in the first place.

I have heard people say that it can happen when the game has not been used for a while, although my game was used the day before.

Just thought I would share it with you.

Wierd... I would figure that starting up a whole new save would corrupt all the old saves and make it so they could never come back... Well, atleast thats what I use to think. :rolleyes:

Something like that happen to me, but I think it's because of the Egg & Key codes. Once, all my files were erased, and again every time I turned the game on and off, and then all of a sudden they all re-appeared.

I wonder what would have happned if I had saved when I was playing on a new file, if I saved the game, would it have erased the data that would soon re appear on the file?

I think when it happned on Mario I saved, but the old file came back and wiped over my new save game.

Self-erasing? I would go into Banjo's House to have a go at the Bottles' Bonus game then I would exit the house only to find everything as if I had just suddenly started the game. I hate that.

weirdest thing that happened to me was my file just totally disappeared one day (BK). I started a new one, got like 70 jiggys and like 3 weeks later the old file(game completed) came back and the 70 jiggy one was gone. VERY weird.

If anything would happen, it wouyld have happened, BK autosaves everything.

I've never heard of this before on BK.

Same happened to me. One day all my SM64 files were gone and I played into it about 11 stars then I saved and turned it off and then on a week later to see all my files back except the new one.
