So I started up Advance Wars the other day to continue playing it (I think I was at least halfway through but I really have no idea) and it asks me for my name. WTF? OK, I put in my name, and sure enough, it asks me to go into training. Shit.

OK, something is really wrong. Maybe my DS doesn't like the game anymore? So I pop it into the ol' GBA. Same thing. When I do a training op and save and exit, the next time I turn the game on that's been forgotten too.

Is there a tiny battery I can replace in the cartridge? Is there anything I can do other than buy another copy?  [edit:  and other than playing straight through in some kind pf psycho-obsessive marathon!]

(P.S. I had been playing it regularly up to this point (more than once a week and usually every day or every other day), so it's not like I let it sit somewhere for years.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
