there are two copies of Village Sim in my Palm. i installed it in my memory card and now there is a copy in my handheld memory. i cant remember when the copy in my handheld showed up. can i just delete the handheld copy? im afraid it might also delete my game.
btw, i have a palm tungsten E. and my expandable memory is 16mb ( exp memory is just for games)

What are the names of the files that you have in the 2 locations?

Had the same problem and deleted the one in mem card.......ended deleting ALL! Luckily I had saved the game pdb. Once I reinstalled, I copied the saved pdb and returned to where I was:)

if i go to the Info, both are named "Vilalge Sim". sori i dont have any file explorer in my palm... not very familiar with the structure. can i delete the one in the handheld? it takes too much space.

The safest thing to do is to back up your savegame file (VillageSavegame.pdb) on your PC (or in another safe location on your Palm). It's very small (about 5KB). That way, if anything goes horribly wrong when you delete the 'extra' copy of the game, you can recover back to where you were. If you don't have a file manager and use the Palm's delete function to remove the duplicate copy of the game, it will delete Village Sim AND your savegame. Better safe than sorry!

i have 2 things too i deleted one on the handheld

KitKat -

The EXACT same thing happened to me and I deleted the one off the handheld thinking it was just a ghost copy or something and it deleted ALL my info and started me over.

To fix this here are some steps which the lovely ladycfii helped me with when I spazzed at my lost data.

Go to preferences and pause the game. Exit the game and hotsync. This will put a very recent saved game back up on your computer. Delete the one running on the main memory. If you can load from your memory card just fine then woohoo!! If not, if it starts you over, never fret! Go to your archive or backup file in your Palm storage on your computer. You should see one that save VillageSaveGame.pdb. Double click on it and it should bring it up to automatically reload on your handheld. Make sure it's installing to your expansion card only which should be an option once the "install this file on next hotsync" program pops up. Hotsync. You should be back to golden now!!

Be warned though - my "expansion card" is internal so I had a bit different go at doing this. You should be okay. Once I did this it has not replicated itself again on my main memory. For whatever reason I guess this is happening to people!

Good luck!

sorry for the late reply...
thanks for all your help. i backed up my game and deleted the one in the handheld. and it also deleted my saved game. i just reloaded the backup in my pc.
do you know why this happens?

I'm not sure why. I didn't study it before it happened and now I'm not sure I can replicate it. Maybe after I start a new game I'll keep track of every time I exit the game (which saves it) and every hot sync and see if at some point it duplicates itself. Until then it'll remain a mystery!! Luckily there is a work around as long as you either pause before hot syncing or notice it right away so that your save game isn't so old all your villagers wind up as dead
