It DOES have overwrite confirmation, at least on the EU version it does. And the configuration on my DS is about 1 cm out (no kidding) but I can still save it ok :-sPumpkin Queen wrote:I don't really like using the touch screen for saving. It makes it too easy to accidently save on the wrong file. They're so close together, it's easy to hit the wrong file by mistake. It doesn't even ask for overwrite confirmation. I'd love to be able to have a game with two wives. Unfortunately, I'm too scared of overwriting the wrong file, I'd probably forget which file had what wife, or forget which file I'm playing and save on the wrong one. I just stick to one game file, saving on both files for back-up. That way, it doesn't matter what save file I end up saving on.

Oh and so you don't forget which file is which, if you just tap on "diary 1/diary 2" without tapping load first, it tells you your name and the name of your farm.
Although I do understand how annoying it must be to lose all your work.
I hate it too!! I was happily married to Muffy 
, With Child in Stage 1, Best Friends with everyone on the village, Just inserted FoMT, House upgraded fully, bought everything at the catalog, had the max of coins and then i decided to play a old game i started ages ago that didnt had anything... Since I saved by instinct (i did even think about it) i saved over flie 1 (the one married to muffy) file 2 (the old one)
