Recover deleted nintendo 64 files

This has happened twice now - I save my game and turn the machine off as normal, but then when I turn it back on my game data is gone! is there any way to get it back or is it gone forever? Also, how do I stop this happening?

    The backup battery in the cartridge appears to be dead. You'll have to replace it to get the save data to stay when power isn't on.

Well, when you erase a game file from an n64 cartridge, the file itself is not erased, all that happens is the game marks it as an empty file and available to use; but all the bits and content that make up your saved game file are still there. It may just be the system is having a hard time reading the data stored or is failing to recognize it.

    I would suggest taking the cartridge out and blowing on it, and make sure it is angled correctly. In other words your data was not likely deleted, the n64 is probably not recognizing it

your board basically has to be angled up slightly and not leaning too far in either direction. too far back, you fall. too far forward, you fall. too far leaned to the left or right...fall.

SOURCE: nintendo 64 will not turn on

64's as they get older and with most gaming consoles the connections get worn.The power supply is junk on those! It's a cube that has to fit just right into the slot to make a solid connection.Here's a possible solution.

1.Turn off your 64 and pull out the power supply cube blow on it and in the space where it was.

2.Take the game out blow on it.

3. When you put the game in push it down a little harder than normal "not very hard dont break it" but securing the connection this way.Do the same with the power supply.

    How do i get deleted games back on ds r4 card cause little sister deleted some of the best games like mario kart ds and cooking mama and also super mario!!! im so angry !!! plz plz plz plz help me plz...

    Cards like R4 allow you to store multiple games on one card. So when you start your DS, you choose which game you want to play and do not have to take all your games with you. The R4 relies on a microSD card to keep track of the games and save files. Your actual game, you should be able to recover from the original game cartridge (since you do actually own the game).

    To recover your game progress (save file), you can put the microSD card in your PC (using the appropriate adapter) and just have a recovery program look for the files on the microSD card. There are several good FREE file recovery softwares on the internet. They will likely be your only shot a recovering your game progress but that depends on how much you've used your R4. If you have used it a lot, your save game may have been overwrite which means it is lost for good.

    Whatever you do, do not do anything illegal.

    Recovering Saved Game?

    Your file may have a corrupted file. This can happen if a game is old or hasn't been taken care of properly. Look at the outside of the game, take a q-tip, and GENTLY rub the game with the q-tip. the front, the back, EVERYWHERE. Take another q-tip and GENTLY stick it into the part of the DS where you inset the game.

    Hope it helps~

    Kirby 64 won't hold a save file

    The battery inside the game pak has died, thus, it can no longer hold a save.
    Buy a special screwdriver for n64 Game Paks. Unscrew the casing, then find the battery inside the Pak. Take it (the battery) to any store that sells watches, then ask for a replacement for that battery. Plug the batery (+ side facing you) in the Pak, then screw it back together.

    Your game should now save. :)
