majoras cart dead?

[04tm34l3]

hello boys,

im trying to determine if carts of majoras can lose save data based on battery dieing / generally being an old cart

lost a recent save file trying to determine if its a technological fault or the work of a sociopathic roomate

If all data has gone, it could be the battery.

 

[zharrhen]

it can, the batteries actually were a major part of the save process back then, if the batteries die, the save will most likely be lost, but it is still possible that it's still there, but it would be almost impossible to retrieve.

Not all N64 games used SRAM save. Some did use flash or EEPROM, but I think they are in the minority. I'm not sure if Majora's Mask uses a battery or not.

 

[Tesslayer]

AFAIK, Majora's Mask doesn't use a battery for keeping saves, so it's probably not the cartridge itself

The question was not about recovery, it was about cause.
