Multiple Town Saves - Oh No!

[JKDOS]

So my brother redownloaded animal crossing onto another SD card and made a new save. Sounds like a great idea to having two towns.

Well, now when he tries his other SD card he gets an error saying "Cannot use save data because it was not the last used data..."

Is there a fix for this? Or is he screwed?

Maybe Nintendo didn't want people "copying" or making "second" towns on Animal Crossing. So when you started up the game on the other SD card, the game told you that you had another save saved somewhere else, and asked if you wanted to forget about the save and make a new one on the current SD card.

The game will probably recognize saves though some kind of "ID" system. That way people cant share saves. Also, hitting the option gave you a new "ID" so the old save isn't recognized anymore.

I hope I made sense. I'm a Computer Science guy and sometimes I might use to much jargon or go into confusing detail.

So no, it can't be fixed.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I wished it could be fixed!

You told me that when I did the same thing your brother did back in November. It's been a very handy post to refer to.
