Bad news: I managed to corrupt my archive, and now all my groups are gone (Contra, XDE, PapiJump, Ultimate Falldown, AACalc II, and at least six others project groups). No backups. It's all gone :'(

And right after I added enemy AI and aiming. It's gonna take a while to build it all up again.

EDIT: First day of 2011. Bad, bad sign.

* fb39ca4 bangs head against the wall because another person neglected to make backups
The only way I could think of is to use a nand programmer to get a dump of the archive, and save what you can.
Hope you can pick stuff up later.

Yeah, backups are very important.  I wonder if there's a way to auto-backup stuff on insertion into a computer or something.

Only the compiled program :( And that was before I rewrote the engine. The code was twice as large as the stuff I had after I rewrote everything.

Yeah. I've never used it to mess with flash, though. And there are at least 11 project groups I want to recover right now :( And worse, since I always delete old copies of groups, there are now dozens of copies of a group called CON in my flash...

Yikes, i don't know how to help with this :( Maybe if there is some way to make a copy of your flash onto the computer we can manipulate it more easy, but i don't want to risk destroying anything, so don't archive anything O.O

Too late, Mirage already made two copies of the appvar MirageOS in my archive. Only 84 bytes total, though, so it shouldn't corrupt too much...

Some people suggested copying my flash to a file, though. I'll try that, but since I'm pretty new to flash stuff, can an advanced ASMer give me some explanation on how to do that? I don't want to mess up my calculator more :(

You might want to talk to brandon willson or ben ryves, they are both pretty experienced with unbricking calcs and otherwise restoring good things to order.

This sucks :/, I wish you had an easy way to regularly transfer files on the computer. I wonder if the stuff can be recovered? Someone might know how

When you perform a ROM dump with TiLP, does it includes the archive content like Virtual TI? If so, maybe someone could analyze the ROM data and grab your files?

I hope you don't kill this project, though...
