Game saves keep getting wiped...

Hi, I have been using the DS One for a while now. All works well except some days when I go into a game my save game file has dissapeared.  I then go into other games I have been playing and those saves are gone too.  Its like it deletes all the save game files in one go.  I am using v2.5 of DS one with 1.41 of moonshell.  All default settings witha 4gb Sandisk Micro SD.  My girlfriend has one too and she is having the exact same problem - with exactly the same contents on memory card.  The memory card is fairly full but there is 50 or so meg free.  One thing I did do was rename all the nds files, removed the numbers at the start and etc so that the games are easy to read and are in alphabetical order.  Could this be a cause?  I realise that because of this the save files will be 512mb each.  What happens when the memory card gets full? do you get a warning or anything?

Its rather frustrating as its a waste of time playing games when you cant save so any help on this would be appreciated.

Also when you copy the os files to the memory card, can you remove this after it has been flashed?

In response to your saves not working:

Rename your .sav files exactly the same as the .nds file. For example: Game01.nds, Game01.sav

And I think .savs are now stuck at 512kb. I've never had a warning message or anything come up. I think if your card's full, and you're starting a new game, you won't have a .sav file.

Second question: no.

Hi there - thanks for your reply.  Does the DSOne not create the .sav files for you - with the same name etc?
