Dude, you're screwed.

This happens sometimes randomly. I don't know what causes it as it's only happened once to me.

I turned off my gameboy and let it sit for 5mins and then turned it back on and the problem was fixed.

Sucks to be you.

[MysticWarrior]

Don't put him down like that, nick. :unsure:

Anyways, it doesn't happen to my game. I think there's something wrong with the cartridge. Did you expose it to the sun for a long ammount of time, or anything?

[Golden Legacy]

Yes, it's something wrong with the Cartridge... You might have bought a defective unit... or maybe you just dropped it. I'll be quiet now...

[mjc0961]

Quick! Someone cast Revive on that game pak!

... All jokes aside, I've never seen that before. I think you're more screwed than a little choir boy in a church run by Michael Jackson.

[Enoch]

That was sick,
anyways, that happens when a number of things occur. First if your using a game shark to death, or if you don't properly put a game in it's case when your done with it (or mini baggy in the case of GBA games), it's also a possibility that it was broken in the first place, or you were being too rough with it.

My diagnosis; from here on out put games in there cases or buy a GBA multipack case. To solve your imediate problem, here's what I do. Buy the same Golden Sun game from a store that allows game returns. Don't throw any part of the package away. Switch the faulty game for the new one, then return the package with the faulty game inside it and claim that the game was faulty. Make sure that neither game was purchased with credit card because that is trackable, and now you got a new game.

Sorry if my trickery is affensive to anyone.

Wow, I don't think that you should promote an Idea like that, Enoch. That's kinda untruthful. I'm sure that Max dousn't allow stuff like that here.

[Enoch]

Then I apologize. Your right venus-owl.

car(T)man, you should follow my other advice then and forget about the switch idea.

[Enoch]

It's good that you solved your problem.

And I don't know why they don't have GBA cases.

It's a good question, but for a different section, and so I can't continue on this subject. You should start this topic in the off topic section.

Someone should close this topic.

They do. I think Mad Catz makes it.

I solved the problem ^_^

I hadn't noticed that my friend already had 3 saves on the game
about the boxes, i think its quite mean that u dont get a free one with each game, Com'on its just a piece of plastic, can't cost them much...
thats one of the few downsides of gba  -_-

Okay, new On Topic question: How the hell did you start a new game if all the save slots were full? They remove that button after the last slot fills...

[Enoch]

Oh yah, that's right, how did you do that? You still have to clear some of this guys data.

[MysticWarrior]

Maybe he was playing his friend's data, and then the problem happened?

[mjc0961]

But then you could save over the old one...

Perhaps it is a defective cart?

[Archaic Master]

The best way to solve this problem is to : Turn the gameboy off; Wait 10-15 mins; then switch it back on and try to save STRAIGHT AWAY.

[Djinn]

Hmm, interesting, never heard of the problem before, but I'll try to help... ^_^

First try to save, if it still doesn't work turn off your gameboy and leave your game somewhere not exposed to heat or any microwaves (peoples game/system can be messed up from the radiation waves that comeout when you heat it). Leave it at the area for about 20-25 minutes, then get a smooth silk cloth and wipe any dust in the chip (needs to be silk or else the other cotton/paper ect material will rub off onto the chip causing more damage). If it still doesn't work, I don't know what to say... Hope I helped :)

[mjc0961]

(wonders why people are trying to solve a problem that already was solved)

[MysticWarrior]

(thinks that maybe it's because they haven't solved it yet, or they want to gain posts, and maybe I should close this)

[mjc0961]

We did solve it. It was because he somehow started a new game when all three slots were already full. So I guess you could close it.
