1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx44

(Data loss)

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry to hear that.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Do not break it physically.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

Could it be a bug procedure…?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

I feel like there was something in a software that said “heat in the microwave.”

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

Probably DQ3’s RTA.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>21

Using a hot plate, huh?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

If you’re going to grill on a hot plate, it was definitely used in the RTA tournament, Dragon Quest.

In addition to that, there are times when I cool it in the refrigerator beforehand, but I feel like this wasn’t an RTA.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx34

The Great Demon War…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx68

Demon War

When that battle, which burned everything to cinders, ended,

The power of “magic” disappeared from the world, and a thousand years passed…

Iron, gunpowder, steam engines – people used the power of machines to revive the world.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

It seems like it’s not coming back as much as I thought…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

Before the Great Magic War, the only thing I know about the world is ancient castles.

The ancient castle doesn’t really feel that much like over-technology.

Isn’t it at a level that can be said to have fully revived?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

When you try to erase it, it doesn’t go away.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’ve never dropped a cassette, but I’ve experienced data loss from being pulled on the cord and freezing countless times.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I don’t remember losing data in FF, unlike in Dragon Quest or Kirby.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

Number 4 has disappeared a few times, but 5 and 6 have been sturdy.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Black telephone and seaweed

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

So you’re saying that what you said about disappearing was a lie?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

4 flies.

5 does not fly.

6 flies reasonably well.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only one that disappeared on the Super Famicom was Kunio-kun.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It gives the impression of being harder to disappear than Dragon Quest.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Phone

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

What disappeared this time was Romancing SaGa 2.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

This was over 10,000 yen at the time, right?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

At that time, 10,000 yen would be around 4,000 yen today.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that Ultima is so sturdy that there is no way to erase data other than physical destruction, but I wonder if it’s a matter of part precision rather than a programming issue.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

If the parts somehow got damaged, wouldn’t that be physical destruction?

If it’s not physical destruction, then it must be about data.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had a hard time selling it because 5 wouldn’t disappear no matter what I did.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Ah, a hot plate… yeah…?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>27

It seems that there is a temperature at which the memory volatilizes just right.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Is the volatility of memory really that temperature-related?!

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

Well, if you’re doing it with a capacitor, then that’s understandable.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

Magnetism is affected by temperature.

It’s a concept that originally comes from hacking on the computer side.

Can’t break memory protection → Can’t we just destroy the bits protecting the memory with heat?

Hacking due to fever has been a traditional form of hacking that has been practiced since the time before personal computers existed.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Doesn’t the solder normally start to melt?

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>126

It’s not like I’m going to bake it; I’m just going to warm it up.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

I think the exterior will melt before the solder when directly baked.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it because the internal memory battery temporarily disconnects due to a physical shock?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF6 has disappeared before.

Also, this game has a bug that causes data to be lost with a probability of 1 in 65536.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

When fighting with a bloodstained shield and drill in both hands, almost all saves will disappear after freezing.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

That’s your fault.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

DQ6 and Bahamut Lagoon were also prone to disappearing easily.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>35

I don’t recall Bahamut Lagoon disappearing.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you’re using bugged equipment, even the VC version’s save data gets corrupted, so something really significant is happening there.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was someone who said they couldn’t clear FF6 because the data keeps disappearing around the Demon Continent.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

General Leo’s shock is like that…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bahamut Lagoon must have been such a shock that it had disappeared from my memory.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bahamut Lagoon did not disappear in the first week.

For some reason, when I became strong and started a new game, it disappeared…

In that case, I’ll have to start over from a normal new game.

I have never cleared the strong and new game because it disappeared multiple times.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

I feel like nothing has really changed except that the final boss is lending their power as a super area strategy weapon.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Dragon Quest, the 36th Spadella often disappeared, but Final Fantasy has never disappeared.

There might be some luck involved with the software as well.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

The memory card was great.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

(The memory card breaks and suddenly starts)

The war scene of Gustavus XII vs. Count Otte that cannot be omitted in the controller.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>46

You can also put on stickers…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

Those who boasted about non-genuine high-capacity are now suffering.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

Genuine 2000 yen, Pocket Station 3000 yen, and places like that.

With four times the capacity, it’s around 3,000 to 4,000 yen, and you can’t go against kids!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter how careful you are, the fact that the save data can definitely disappear is terrifying to think about now.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it’s made of paper, it crushes easily and gets cheaper when sold, and save data disappears quickly, so I was happy when those things changed on PlayStation.

Price as well

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

I feel like the PS cases tend to crack easily, the tabs for holding the instruction manuals break, and the connection parts come off, so there were many used ones in poor condition.

The appearance of being sold raw is also very unsettling.

You can just put the case itself into a suitable CD one.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not FF, but in Romancing SaGa 1…

When I was wiped out by the firebird of Ifrit, I froze it, and when I restarted the power, all my saves were gone.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kirby’s Super Star Ultra really disappeared a lot, like, why was it so easy to vanish?

I’m glad it was short enough that I could redo it multiple times.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ease of disappearance from shock in battery backup cassettes might also depend on the position of the battery.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The memory card is fine, but I didn’t like that it would get scratched and frequently freeze when using CDs.

Can a child really use it so beautifully?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s designed to save data with a button battery because the contents are volatile memory.

If the current between the battery and the memory is cut due to a shock or some kind of impact, the saved data disappears in that instant.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is a hardware-related cause.

Super DX uses a special chip not found in standard cartridges for high-speed processing of the CPU and graphics, but this increases the number of delicate components.

>>57

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, the timing of inserting the Famicom and Super Famicom cartridges can be quite rough if a kid doesn’t handle it with care, and there can be a lot of impact on the terminals.

When turning on the power, don’t do it gently, just slam it!

If you tug the controller cable, in an instant…

>>57

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

FF doesn’t have scary BGM like Dragon Quest, so it didn’t become a trauma even if the data got deleted.

I mean, Sugiyama Kouichi is trying too hard, isn’t he?

“I put in all my effort to create an unpleasant melody. I hate it too.”

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

You didn’t make it specifically to prevent data loss, did you?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

The feeling of regret after the cursed BGM played from the cassette I borrowed from a friend who told me not to delete this data.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

My Bahamut Lagoon couldn’t be cleared because my saves kept disappearing.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF5 has experienced a revival after data was lost, but seeing various videos of people breaking FF5 makes me think that those bugs must have been researched.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>65

Even if I say it disappeared, it’s just that I failed to read the header or something like that…

So sometimes it’s okay to turn off the power during that particular BGM in Dragon Quest.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I took it to my friend’s house to play, my friend’s grandma once vacuumed it up and it disappeared.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I found DQ5 to be really easy and went all the way to the end, but I had to restart about two times.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, it was rare for Dragon Quest to really disappear.

It hasn’t disappeared 8 out of 10 times.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

In my experience, the RPG with the worst data loss issues is DQ5.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s inevitable since it’s powered by an inserted battery.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

Thanks to this, I was able to quickly save and use real-time save features in games like Shiren.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there were quite a few times when I would bring a cassette in my bag when I went to my friend’s house, and the data seemed to be erased, but it doesn’t seem possible for data to be lost like that.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Kirby is interesting precisely because he can fly.

If it hadn’t disappeared, my playtime would have been less than half.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

It was a spirit of “I can do it from the beginning again!”

I always forget how to take the treasure.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Dragon Quest, if you’re lucky, you can survive, so I used to record it on all three save data slots…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Super Famicom controller is short, so when I change my position, it pulls and causes the data to get lost.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

On the Famicom it happened often, but I’ve never experienced data loss like this on the Super Famicom.

The screen went black occasionally, but…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

There have been times when it didn’t work, but it has never disappeared.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like every time I saved in the field before the Fumbaba, it disappeared.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kirby was out just because he didn’t make it to the title screen.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, compared to the FC era, the reliability has significantly improved…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cassettes have physical differences, so experiences do not align.

In the first place, characters like Kirby, who are prone to disappearing, are a different matter altogether.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

During my elementary school days, when I had just one hour a day, I truly cried.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dan!!!

0% 0% 0%

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

My mother kept playing Torneko’s Great Adventure, restarting it over and over again…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

The SFC was definitely harder to erase than the FC, but since there are people whose images have disappeared at the level of the thread, there’s quite a difference.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

It’s structurally sensitive to shocks, so there are also issues with how it is handled on a daily basis.

It’s the worst when you have to take out the shelf or box just to set up and play games only at home.

It’s better for households to leave all the plugs in and plugged in.

Also, the battery does not drain while playing, so if you play intensively in a short period, it is less likely to run out.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

My DQ5 often disappeared, so I was filling the slots with the same data.

There was a time when everything disappeared all at once.

Sad

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

The FF5 that I was bought never disappeared at all, but the DQ5 that my older brother was bought often disappeared.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a time when everything I lent was erased and returned to me.

I’ve decided not to lend anything to that guy anymore.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that the battery of the recording medium inside shifts for a moment?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

Because it’s a button battery.

You can still exchange it now.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Secret of Mana 3, it disappears around the point of defeating the divine beasts.

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The cassette’s fast loading and save speed is really appreciated now that I’m using it.

There was a time when 3D technology and high-capacity movies were more highly praised than that.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s good that data no longer disappears now.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since becoming an SFC, I don’t really remember disappearing.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was in despair after dropping Dragon Quest III, but it glitched, and even though I hadn’t reached it yet, having Ramia changed it into a festival all at once.

Of course, save it, and when you start it next time, you’ll hear that sound effect.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

What kind of regulation is the RTA?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

I brought Dragon Quest 5 to my friend’s house.

Played.

I finished playing.

My friend hit the eject button with all their strength.

The software lightly danced in the air.

It disappeared…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The experience of disappearing a lot is from the FC’s FE Shadow Dragon.

I was careful with the side story, but after becoming the strongest villager, I disappeared after a while.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that there are more children who have encountered the ridiculous feature of FF6 where a save file has a 1/65536 chance of disappearing or being treated as an empty save every time they save.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

There’s no way 1/65536 is too much.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>112

I still can’t see Maboroshi Island today…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was a kid, I would often get discouraged, but I admire how I would honestly start over as if it were someone else’s business when things disappeared.

I think that for now, I would just throw a tantrum and go to bed in a huff.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

These days, there are people who overwrite old cloud save data with local data.

It feels modern to mess up save data.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

I once had my strongest data right before Zeromus overwritten by a bug in FF4 during the middle of the game, which felt like a lie from an elementary schooler.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thank you for the non-volatile memory after PS…

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s great to have a used game with data just before the last dungeon, regardless of the romance.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

I accidentally start something and then delete it without knowing what it is.

I quietly liked how I was able to play around myself and naturally collect the foreshadowing.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kirby SDX was forgiven because it was Kirby SDX, that’s unfair.

Just being Yoshi’s Island is enough to not be forgiven.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering it’s a disk media, there was no choice but to do that, but the memory card was innovative, wasn’t it?

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The feeling of regret when my siblings or borrowed save data got deleted was intense.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

I leveled up to 99! Bring it over to my place.

I can’t forget the tears of my friend as the data disappeared right in front of them.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dragon Quest 5 disappeared really quickly.

There were times when just shaking the cassette caused it to be erased.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF4 and FF6 are prone to disappearing.

5 is quite sturdy.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Kirby is accepted because it was a game like a collection of mini-games.

It’s not really precious data even if it disappears.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

Well, it makes me feel like I have to gather treasures again! That’s amazing.

That aside, why is it so easy to disappear?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a shock, but the contact of the terminals when they were inserted, so why…

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not related to the thread image, but I dropped my original DS from the second floor and thought it was over… but when it started up normally, I was really shocked.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first-generation Game Boy and the first-generation DS have a sturdy look that gives a sense of reliability.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

“Is it the original Game Boy that is fine even if run over by a tank?”

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

(The president who tries throwing it out of the second-floor window during the final test.)

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

The theory that the Game Boy is a return from the Gulf War is really convincing.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>125

It seems that they indeed replaced the LCD, but it’s amazing that the main unit is still intact.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Romancing SaGa 3 was also quite easy to disappear.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

My FF5 was constantly disappearing.

Here they go again, Batz and Boco are off running…

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Memoka was indeed great, but now that I’m trying to run Memoka, I can’t save at all, so I guess you’re no good either.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kirby of the Stars

Ultra Deluxe (Don!)

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Kirby can have a 0% chance and still be enjoyable with the mindset of starting all over again! That’s amazing.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>135

It’s nice that it goes up to about 78% and then disappears back to 0%, right? Not really…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pikoon teretere tererere teretette ttee terette ttee.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF should be stronger than Dragon Quest, probably.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

The time when the path to becoming a champion fighter was open was less frequent.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

How can Kirby avoid losing data?

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before the data disappears, it feels like a premonition in the true Megaten.

I have a memory of the text going crazy.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

6 didn’t disappear, but there was one time when the save data got corrupted.

I remember that the parameters got all messed up and there were some things that looked like important data but were actually unused data.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was interesting during the RTA of the regulation that included hot plates (as well as other out-of-game methods) to have devices that efficiently grilled food, and cassettes that could be quickly inserted and removed by connecting two of them.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what the reason was for the data in Dragon Quest being so prone to disappearing.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>145

Since the integrity of the loaded data is suspicious, the function to not load it for safety appears to behave the same as if it has disappeared visually.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>145

When the power is turned on, a scan occurs in the check area.

When some kind of anomaly is detected there,

It was preventing the creation of abnormal data by pretending that the usual music was played and then disappeared.

In reality, even if something hasn’t disappeared, it’s often treated as if it has in Dragon Quest.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

Does that mean there have been cases where turning the power on and off several times fixed the issue?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

Yes

As long as the music is playing, there are times when it’s safe because it hasn’t disappeared yet.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews
