I just downloaded a new game to try and when I was moving it to my internal memory card on my T5 I noticed there was a large village SIm file on my regular base memory. Thinking this was a MISTAKE and I hadn't deleted the old file when I moved it over to the internal card I went along and deleted it. Come to find out this largish file was my ENTIRE game. I am upset. I almost had enough tech to get 3rd level research, I had 3rd level on a couple other things, I had 25 villagers and growing, 5-6 puzzles done. Argh. Argh I say!!!

All my other games on my internal memory card are fine - they play and save right off the internal card. Why is this one playing/saving off of BOTH? I don't want to take up DOUBLE the space on my palm for this game and now I'm afraid to delete one or the other!!

Can't help you with your problem, as I don't have a memory card yet.... but hope your next game goes even better, as you will have learned how to do things better

Thanks it's just hard building back up again, and I'd been waiting like 3 days to get enough for Science level 3. *SIGH!!* Oh well...I started a new game and so far it hasn't duplicated itself..yet...

Is the file you deleted still in a recycle bin or archive folder? Sorry not sure off hand what would happen when you delete a file

Rebecca, there are two files: Village_Sim.prc (the game - large file) and VillageSavegame.pdb (your savegame - small file). It's probably too late, since you started over, but if it ever comes up again, you can just retrieve your savegame (from your PC or other backup location) and put it back. You can PM me if you need details on how to do this.

My archive folder where? When I deleted it off the Palm it just said "Village Sim" - it didn't say anything else

Your archive folder is on your PC (if you use Palm Desktop). Look in \Program Files\PalmOne\xxxxx\archive (where xxxxx is your user name). There's also a copy of your savegame in \Program Files\PalmOne\xxxxx\backup.

I found the save game one in my backup folder - didn't see anything in archive. I haven't hotsync'ed since this happened so the file is probably still good from yesterday, from BEFORE I was a dummy

Just a warning, though, if your game wasn't paused at the time you hotsynced, be prepared for some unexpected aging (unless you change the system clock on your T5 back to the date/time stamp of that savegame)!
