Corrupt file

Odd.

I've actually never used a default SD card in my 3DS systems, and I've never corrupted, even through a data transfer.

But that's weird. You'd think data wouldn't corrupt with the default card o-o. So weird why this happens...

I would contact them, definitely! And definitely say this has happened before! You can use it as a cycling town to get some of your old dreamies back~ =3

Also feel free to hit me up if you need anything~ =3

Thanks! <3
 
Oh wow, that's really tough. It's nice to see you be so optimistic about it all though! If you ever need any help getting a dreamie (needing tbt or even items), I would gladly help!
 
I have perfect oranges if you want any. I'm so sorry this happened. I'm so scared of this happening to me.
 
Just a thought, did you store the cartridge in your ds by any chance?~~
I used to keep my old game boy cartridges plugged into the game boy when I wasn't using them and it caused problems with a few of the games, not sure if a similar thing could happen with ds :confused:

But really sorry to hear about your town, if you need any fruits or anything let me know :>
 
I've heard some horror stories about people transferring their SD card ACNL info from the 3DS XL to the New 3DS and having corruption issues. I can't recall if the people who lost their saves after this transfer were using a digital version of ACNL though. All I know is that I plan to backup my save before I insert my game into the New 3DS.

I have too. I actually waited to transfer mine until I got my Sandisk SD card because I was paranoid I wouldn't have enough space on the new XL's default. I also didn't do any partial transfers for the same reason.

I'm guessing if you had unstable nets maybe it could corrupt, but I would think that would damage more than just Animal Crossing.

Some guy on Youtube was claiming he tested things on multiple DS's and claimed that if you keep the digital copy running for more than 2 days straight without a 10hr break, apparently it corrupts. Not something I believe, honestly. Others are saying the Reset trick causes corruption, but the person who mentioned this also kept bringing up Resetti, and if you're getting Resetti while plot resetting...well you're not plot resetting. So not only did that person sound unintelligent, but me and many others plot reset constantly and have never had an issue.

I have a bit of a hunch that the corruption may be caused by the SD cards Nintendo ships out on its systems. Perhaps they're faulty? It would explain why the problem is so widespread but also not so widespread. Many of us tend to replace the SD cards because space is so limited.

My only other guess is maybe it's just a cart that got messed up during shipping or general use, or maybe the card is defective or damage, or maybe the 3DS itself has some damage. But Mitzi doesn't seem like the irresponsible type so I honestly sort of doubt damage is at play. My only guesses are:

A) The default SD card has issues
B) The Cart and/or SD card were defective
C) Really really bad luck

All I can say is it's such a cruddy situation and I'm glad Mitzi's taken it well, but I really wish we could narrow down the reasons this happens. It's the missing child glitch from Animal Parade all over again (That one took months to solve @_@)

The cartridge was in my 3ds 99% of the time, so that may have contributed. But I've never heard of that happening

I've heard of this too, but I've been using the same 3ds xl ever since I bought NL when it came out

I am so, so sorry this happened to you! It's nice to have a good fresh start though it came at a great cost. :C I've got tons of perfect oranges and a fair amount of hybrids if you would like or need any! ^^
