Wow

Ok, I was gonna switch on my Sapphire Version.
But to get rid of dust I blew on it.
Then I switch it on, and it says:
''The save file has been deleted...''
''CRAP!!!'' I thought, with 10 Lv100s, a shiny Crobat, and a Lucky Egg, along with 200 hours of play time.

So I started a new game.
I saved it, but switched it off during saving.
So I switched it back on, and my save file was back!
 
That's happened to me before..But more than one occasion, I saved over it anyway...Not really sure why that happens...
 
you're pretty lucky.my game got erased like that before,but i wasn't as fortunate as you were.
 
This has also happened to me on Fire Emblem & Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Unfortunately, only FFTA ever recovered from it, and FE always used to randomly delete itself <Every freaking time I beat it on hard...>
 
So I guess that was pretty lucky huh?
 
Question: Did you use a different GBA than you normally use?
Because: This happens to me more often when I'm using a different GBA for the first time on that game. Switching back does not cause this, only the first time...
 
No, I was just using my GBA SP, like usual.
 
You are lucky that you got your game back, but how long have you had your SP and do you play games on it constantly? If you've had it for a long time and played it constantly, the system probably misread something in your Sapphire game's programming and caused the data to register as deleted. Something similar to this happened to me a year or so ago only with my copy Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I lost all of my saved files in the game, two I completed and one I was working on. It wasn't too big of deal, but it ticked me off!
 
that happend to my mates on my mates saphire

Wow it never happened to me, but it's good for trying if it's happens to me.
 
My SP was about a year old.
I play on it quite frequently.

EDIT: Gaahhhhhhh!!! I've fallen down 3 trainer ranks! From fog to zepher!
