my replays are suddenly becoming corrupted. what is the cause of this? i noticed 3 became corrupt within the last couple of days. for the record, i am using the same gct i always have been. nothing's changed.

i'm not sure why, but i think saving them on the sd card increases the chances of them becoming corrupt. I have had this problem too, but i have noticed that saving them directly on the wii lowers the chance of this occuring. but again i don't know what causes it.

interesting, it just never happened this frequently before, maybe once in a blue, but like i said, i lost 3 vids in the past couple of days. i usually delete them after i put them on my computer, so i never have more than maybe 10 at a time. but i will start putting them on the wii from now on to see, thanks

Have you put any NEW codes to use?

My replays get saved onto my SD card, and I ruined all of them.
By adding (no tripping code). Turns out, thats a game changing code and it messed up all the data.

I deleted that **** soooo quick.

well it dysencing and them being corrupted are different. i believe patoons is having them corrupted, where the picture is just a green square with a tear in the middle. you can't even view the replay. adding a code shouldn't corrupt files, it should dysenc them.

You should probably just enable the 1000 snapshots/replays code and store them all on your wii. Or at least save the best replays on your wii.

Can you give me that?




Oh I havent had replays become corrupt but all I know is, all of my replays were a little scary to watch.
Thats how different they were, I thought I was going crazy.

the match was just completely different, like blind people tried to play.

Yeah sure. The longer than 3 mins code is nice too.

Code:
Allow More Than 1000 Replays/Stages/Snapshots - by brkirch
040C464C 48000184

Allow Replays Longer Than Three Minutes (brkirch)
040EB804 60000000
OR
040E5DE8 60000000
04953184 60000000
04953224 60000000
Both are NTSC only (RSBE game)

Playing melee and smash ultimate
I know that I've had the problem of the wrong image/stage name combination showing up on a match (ie. something like it saying lylat and showing the homerun contest image, but the match was on yoshi's island), which has happened to almost all of my replays, but I can still view them all fine. It may be a result of the "save nametags in replays" code, which obviously changed how the game stores replay data in order to work. What doesn't make sense about that is that my old vbrawl replays were also affected (which I left saved on the wii so that it automatically goes to "save to sd" at the end of a match).

That is exactly what happened to me, it happened when I got the Nightly Build w/ File Replacement 3.5. If I try to scroll through the replays for more than 10 seconds, my game freezes too. Except when I boot the game normally, all of my replays go back to normal.

A lot of my replays are actually getting corrupt. I noticed that none of them have thumbnails, but some of them have thumbnails of Summit. These replays are the ones that cause my Wii to freeze.

The fix? Delete them from your SD card.


I'm guessing the new stage select screen is causing this.

anything could cause it. i don't use a SSS but mine still corrupt. i'm thinking its one of those "side effects" of always streaming off ur sd card. the ones saved to the wii don't get this effect. if it isn't the streaming thing then the idk what it is.

I've never heard of corrupted replays in the way you're describing. But I do remember the custom SSS topic saying that using the code WILL mess up the replay archive.

i've only used file replacement, custom css, indpendent pokemon, infinite pt stamina, long replays, unrestricted pause camera, unrestricted color choice.
does that work online, unrestricted color choice?

also, i have been using the same gct for a good month now, so idk why the most recent ones froze, i never have more than 10 at once, and maybe 8 or so shapshots. but once i rebooted the game it worked. so dont delete so hastily

Its probably some bad sectors on your SD card 90% chance

Same thing, but I'm using vBrawl, and none of those codes.

well the unrestricted color choice may not work online(haven't really tested). but it won't cause a dysenc
