Help with game saves

My Castlevania saves used to work when I transferred them back and forth from my PC to the SD card.  Now when I tried to move the files around and it won't work no more.  All the saves won't show up in the select game data menu.  Other game's saves are working fine.

I even tried the 100% save in this forum.  They used to work.. and now they don't.  I am running out of idea now...    :(

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you remember to rename them to be like the .nds.nsq files?

Yes I did :( ... they are:

Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow.nds.dsq
Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow.nds.sav

Just like the other games I have on the SD.

darkunitzero

umm, ok try this. Rename then

Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow.nds
&
Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow.nds

Why, because windows already knows the ext. of the file. When you add in the .dsq and .sav, they don't match.

Well it's just a hunch, but give it a try.

Finally got it working!  Maybe it's due to XP disk caching?  By deleting both files, unplug the card from the reader, reload the files back to the SD.  Viola!  It works again!  And yes I did rename the files a bit just to make sure it did not get the cached files back.

Thanks darkunitzero for your time too. :)

haha, dang it didn't work. Well at least your saves work now.
