Maximum files limit?

My smilebasic's been getting corrupted every so often, typically after saving something. I do have backups that I've been using, but sooner or later I run into the same problem. Has anyone else experienced something like this, Is it just me, or does smile kind of have a file limit that's not necessarily hard coded/accounted for?

I think sb does have a file size limit but I'm not sure about the maximum size total of all the files. A Japanese user reached the file size limits iirc. Do you have a large/old sd card? Check it for errors with a tool like "check drive for errors" thing in Windows.

I'm guessing that your SD card isn't working.

You've had storage problems before, so either you're doing something really hardcore and breaking things, or your SD card is just failing. Buy a new one if you can, they aren't too expensive.

SB does not have a file limit. I have over 32760 dummy files in 1 project but nothing broke on me. The problem is your SD Card as the others told. If it wouldn't it's the available storage is too small. (You ran out of space!)
Point what spaceturle toldThe file system check only applies, when รพe PC recognizes "something is wrong". If it doesn't appear, use CHKDSK.
EDIT: PC keyboard broke and gave weirdo characters, used new one.

that's calming. Elaysia is currently at 118208. i was getting worried.

Aight, thanks everyone. I do have my old 32 gig to fall back on, my current one being 32 at a faster speed. And, I'm hoping the problem had to do with transferring files to this new card. I used my computer's default reader, along with a usb mini reader. It seems to have led to corruption on some of my other games, but after transferring them to computer and to the new card, things seem stable.

BTW if you have more than 256 files in a project, the file select will be noticably slower. I reached 40000 files now and it takes about 6 secounds to load the file select or after typing in FILES.
