Quoted from markmon:I'm getting 0 byte files after the success message on a backup of Metallica.
Same thing happened with me on 2 different USB sticks. When I tried the 3rd one, it worked like a charm.
Unfortunately, I get a valid backup but my High Scores don't come across on Pinball Browser. It's weird too that the date on the newly copied file is saying 2010??
Quoted from DNO:It was my understanding that I the backup only makes a copy of the current code on your game, allowing you to revert back to the old code, should you be unhappy an update that was installed.
What that means to me, is that there is no possible way to save your settings/scores AND update to newer code.
But IMO, that shouldn't be possible anyway, because rule and scoring changes will change the game and (possibly) the scoring amounts and such.
It might make it so you could install the old cod again, and have all those things saved.
But then you're running old code.
Makes sense...never thought of it in that way. I'm glad I wrote down all the high scores as it's very important to those in my house...they're sticklers about that. As suggested by someone else in a post I read from who knows where, I'll just remove the glass and manually trigger what I need to in order that I get the High Scores back.
I had changed a few songs but otherwise I wanted everything to remain the same. Hopefully I can remember all my Feature Adjustments....ugh.
