Damaged save data error messages: Difference between revisions

 

==In Generation II==

 

#'''"The save file is corrupted!"''' - This message only appears within Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Crystal. It usually appears when the player chooses the CONTINUE option but the save file is invalid, as a method of informing the player and preventing the game from [[game freeze|freezing]]. Like the similar message "The file data is destroyed" from [[bp:Generation I|Generation I]], not all invalid save files are affected by this message especially if the player has no existing [[save file]] at all, so that the player does not recieve this message when attempting to start a new game for the first time.

#'''"The save file has been erased due to corruption or damage. The game can be played."''' - This message will appear when the game has recently erased badly corrupted save data, as a method of informing the player that the continue option has been removed.

#'''"The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed."''' - This message appears when the game attempts to take the player to the Continue or New Game screen but the [[wikipedia:integrated circuit|sub-circuit board]] has not been installed correctly. This will prevent the player from saving, if he or she defeats the Elite Four without the sub-circuit board properly installed he or she will recieve the message "The save file has been erased due to corruption or damage. The game can be played" when returning to the title screen.
