That says it. :/
you'd be better off buying a new one since the save is already lost.
Buying a new what?
I'd just pop into this board and see if I could get an answer...I purchased a (used) Pokemon Emerald game, but when I try to save it it says Save Failed. Attempting to save again. And then when it attempts 3 times it says Save Failed. You can still play, but not save, and then it restarts the game and when I try to load it it says The save file has been erased due to corruption or damage.Anyone know what's wrong?
