I know I keep on making threads like these, but I'm like crying now. I've worked so hard on my town, and it's slowly starting to become corrupted. I may not even be on TBT anymore because of this, even though I have another town that's perfectly fine. My old town holds a lot of hard work, devotion, memories, now all wasted. I haven't called Nintendo yet, but this is getting out of hand. I should of never started bring my 3ds everywhere I went.
 
how do you know it's becoming corrupted? there might be a way to fix/save it if it's not completely gone yet...
 
what are the circumstances that it has happened? i'm not quite sure what has happened, so i cannot give you advice or suggestions. i would need to know the backstory.

It all started when I get something like, "An error has occured. System will now restart." Ever since, it kept on happening. When I'm playing, it happens at the most randomest times, mostly when I'm loading up or going in and out of buildings (black screen with a yellow train. Sometimes, the train freezes, and it shows the error.) This is what I'm talking about:

And this is another issue: (Yay)

By the way, this is on a physical copy.
 
If you have more than one DS, try using the game with it. As well as try different games to see if this is a problem with the DS system(s). If the same errors persist for only that one game, I'm afraid there's a chance your cartridge (not necessarily the data on it, but the cartridge itself) is corrupted and unusable.
 
Is it a digital copy? I'f it is then It's pretty common. Digital copies of acnl corrupt often than physical. So far, all data corruption I've seen are from digital copies. I can happen with physical copies but just not as likely.

Well, mine is physical. Goodbye Moonsong, hello long hiatus...
 
My oldest ACNL cartridge went bad a while back.It would get stuck on the 3DS logo screen and wouldn't load the game.I wound up downloading a digital copy and transferring the data from my faulty cartridge to the digital copy.My game worked just like it always had.Like ShenkuuBlossoms said,your cartridge can go bad but the data on it is still usable.Maybe you can try this as a last resort.

Okay. I am considering to buying another 3ds, since mine is actually blotched out with black ink lol
 
*Announcement* I am getting a new 3ds in the mail! But the thing is, I could no longer access my town, but I can set the time back, and it still counts before my 3ds restarts as I try to load up as my mayor.

Try on a friends DS with the cartridge to see if its the DS or the actual game (it might save you some money)

I actually don't have a friend who has a 3ds, just (ex)friends and boys.
 
Your game slot is probably broken/breaking, how long have you had your system for?
I feel you though, I deleted my 2013 save data and I was devastated. So I can imagine how you're feeling.

Nice to see you're getting another one. You deserve it anyway by the look of your screen in previous threads xD
I hope everything works out for you!!

It did! I transported the physical into a digital! No more errors! :)
 
Its a bit taboo to talk about on here but invest in a powersave and back your game up so you dont lose it.
