ROMs not loading anymore
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:16 am
Hi, i'm posting this because i haven't seen my issue around this forum.
I bought DraStic aprox. 1 or 2 years ago and i keep it up to date, and has always worked fine (my phone is a Xiaomi MiA3).
When i first downloaded the app, i also downloaded a ton of ROMs i planned to play in the future. I opened some of them and made a savestate before advancing in any of the games. Now, quite some time after, i'm getting around to play some games again now that i have time, but i keep getting these in-game error screens in some games when i try to load the ROMs. The games say "initialising backup data" "resetting default data" and then something like "unable to access backup memory/unable to access game card to save game/loading data failed, please reinsert Game Card".
It even happens with games i've been playing recently, like Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, that now says "loading save data" and then "sava data corrupted, please reinsert the Game Card" when i try to start it anew.
This didn't happen before, and in some of the games that i did make a savestate just after opening it (or those i've been playing and have made constant savestates) i can still access those savestate and resume play, but not start them anew.
I don't really know the emulator equivalent of reinserting the game cards, so i try to reset the games and it still says the same. I've tried deleting and re-downloading the same ROMs, and still nothing. I've tried deleting and downloading a different ROM of the same games from different sites, and still, nothing.
I'm at a loss and don't know what to do, any help?
