I always wondered this. Recently I was playing Investigations (A game which takes about 7 seconds longer to save than the other GS games) and I turned if off out of habit when the others are done, but Investigations was still saving. I played through the rest of the game no problem, but I always wondered...

Does turning it off in the middle of a save only mess up your save game, or can it corrupt the actual game itself (as in it has issues on future playthroughs)?

I always just assumed that it meant the game wouldn't save properly. Like it would be the same as if you had turned the game off before saving, and they put a warning up so that they wouldn't get complaints.

Interesting that it didn't effect your game play though... :think-pw:

Usually it corrupts your saves when you power off while it's writing your save state data to the disk or cartridge. I learned that the hard way when I was a kid playing Animal Crossing and the power went out. My town was lost and I was sad to lose so many friends.

Well..

I often play at my workplace, when I have nothing better to do, but that's mostly why I don't really play anymore. I often forgot the charger for the NDS at home and when my power went off, I've had to replay the cases again. :payne:

Sad day. Sad day for me.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like I narrowly dodged the bullet on losing my save game. But I'm just glad no one has reported it corrupting their game! It would be lame to wait two years then go back, play it again, and realize that I needed to find a new copy (and used copies now are like 50 bucks so imagine what they will be in a couple years!)
