Bummer
My little brother got this 64 mb memory card awhile back for the ps2, and has saved weeks' worth of gameplay on it. Yesterday, he popped it in to play FFX only to find that the file was erased. He reset the playstation to look at his memory card, and it was BLANK!!!! Totally and completely BLANK.
Any ideas to how this might have happened?
Did you get the OPM demo disc from a while back that had Viewtiful Joe 2 on it?
Oh, I remember that, no we don't have it. The last game he played was FFX and it was fine, and then he went to play again and it was all gone.
If it wasn't a Sony brand memory card, well, that's part of the problem. Sony has their Magic Gate protection thinger, which is a proprietary hardware interface thing. Something. Basically it means that only Sony memory cards are "guaranteed" to work. Other ones are either going to have decent to non-existent performance. Generally the reason you see no off-brand PS2 cards is for that reason.
...crap...mine is the same brand!!!
Never ever use 3rd party memory cards for anything ever.
happened to me like 5 times, always cuase of the reseted playstation

That's weird, I have a third-party memory card from Kemco, and it has MagicGate protection on it. Only two files on it have ever become corrupted, and I've had the thing for about 4 years now.
Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.
This boy is crackin' up, this boy has broken down

The first time I saved in Final Fantasy VII it displayed my memory card as being completely empty, yet stuff was still on it. Strange
...Geddit?
Ive neer had any trouble with the two unofficial PS1 memory cards I have, but I hear many stories about the added space cards, so in general, stick to the default size, as ive heard nothing but crap about the enlarged size cards
Yeah, mine is from Nyko (looks like a bumblebee). I've had it as long as the PS2, and I've never had any problems with it.Originally Posted by Astronite

The wierdest thing with my memory card is this two side memory card for the first playstation. My Digimon World 2 data just disapeared. It's still on my memory card, put just no actuall play data. If anyone's played that game, y'all know what a chore it is.
hmmm....is there any solution besides getting a new one?
Our cards say MAX memory, but mine is newer, so I'm hoping they've done something??? Anyway, I'm keeping backups on the sony card, but it's my brothers and he can be stingy so it may get "mysteriously deleted" for no reason.
