Ruby Corrupt Save :/

After about 2 years of not playing Ruby I picked it up today to have a look at it, and.. my save had been deleted. With a box coming up at the beginning saying

"The save file has been deleted, The Game can be played", I wouldn't be that mad.. but I had a near-complete Hoenn dex, and the last thing I did on it was spend hours trying to get Feebas.

Is there a way to fix this at all? Or is my cartridge just done for? I'm not sure if the Berry Glitch caused this since I havn't had any messages about the internal battery running dry.
 
Usually, fake games have higher corruption rates then legitimate ones, but it may just be due to old age. I found out my silver died a few months back, so i bought a new battery, replaced it, and it works fine.
 
It could have been fake or you could have a dry interal battery ;)
Another cause of problem might lack of playing since you haven't played it in two years

Please, stop making pointless posts! Ive seen a couple of them from you atm.

Ive just asked a few of my friends who got r/s on launch and dont play them any more, and 2 of the 4 i asked have corrupt saves. Something to thing about bearing in mind its almost 2/3 years since they were last played.
 
The cardridge is fake.

Real games can also delete themselves but it is usually only after a huge amount of game time or cheating or damage to the cardridge.

Real games will have a different message if they stuff up.

It has nothing to do with the onternal battery.

Go get yourself a new game not battery. ;123;
 
My cartridge is real, I know that much. But oh well.. I guess I'll use this as an excuse to get Emerald instead. Thanks anyway.
 
you could try cleaning the contact points of the cartrage. Hopefully it would allow you Gameboy to read the save without any errors.
 
clean it then turn it on and off a few times. sometimes that can bring back a save. if not then it seems the not playing in a long time may have dont it. have had it happen to a few legit cartridges with the same message.
 
I hope this does mot mean my Missing sapphire game has a Corrupt Save and my Jirachi will be gone.... =(
 
A Legit one that has not been damaged or hacked on should be able to load back a previous save file. But fake Nintendo products have 99% corruption rate within a year.

Eg. I first bought a 3rd party GCN memory card. 2 weeks later, my melee save file corrupted (no damage whatsoever).

Eg. My Friend had fake Pokemon Emerald, Linked to XD on GCN, Corrupted.
 
... I wasn't particulary level headed when I said I was certain it's real. I just looked at my Pokemon Sapphire, it's Transluscent Blue with a shiny sticker. It's the Europe version, my Ruby is the USA version so I wasn't sure.. let me guess, every Ruby version is supposed to be Transluscent Red? Because I've realised mine is.. well, Gray and the sticker isn't shiny.

Just trying to wrack my brain on WHERE I bought it now.. it wasn't ebay, I know that much.
