HM Sunshine Islands Savestate Problem [SOLVED]

Or maybe low RAM depends on ur phone specs.

I have cheats disabled from the very beginning. And I only tried to select a cheat after the problem occurred. I also don't think it was applied since when I loaded my in-game save, it was perfectly fine and had no presence of a cheat.

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what happened with the savestate, but if the game broke somehow and the savestate was made after it was broken then you're probably stuck with it. If you attach the savestate I can look at it to at least see if it's broken everywhere.

Broke? How exactly? Anyway, here's a download link instead because it won't let me attach a file. Says that the "board attachment quota has been reached". https://www.dropbox.com/s/c334x6lsbnqnw ... 0.dss?dl=0

Why can't I use this save file I have HM sunshine islands .nds file on my phone too but the save is not there like Continue last save...

Seeing as u posted Nintendo's best friends instead of HM sunshine islands in the Drastic glitch repository makes me think why? Also post here too dude http://www.drastic-ds.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=120

I don't know what happened to cause it, but the game was stuck in a weird infinite loop (the savestate itself is not corrupt). I was able to hack memory to get out of it and made a new in-game save, but I don't know if it even put you in the right location. You should back up your current one before trying this..

(just want to say that if this works it means I was very lucky, don't count on me being able to fix stuff like this later!)

This could have been caused by a timing error in the emulation, some other emulator issue, or even a bug in the game itself. Unless you can reliably reproduce this it's very hard to say because there's no data left behind on how it happened.

EDIT: Looks like it might happen sometimes on the real deal:

It's works fine! Thank you very much! You're right, it didn't put me in the right location, it brought me to the "ocean" (like some kind of glitch) but heading straight towards the bridge fixed the problem. Anyway, I checked all my items and assets, and they were all as I remember!

Thank you again! I hope this doesn't problem doesn't show up again (and I will surely do an in-game save more often now).

Seems harvest moon games are glitched...I know that harvest moon isn't the only game you play on DraStic.

I didn't post it in the glitch repository because I thought this was more of a "savestate problem". Anyway, it's fixed now thanks to Exophase. Thank you also for your help and input.
