Gran Turismo 3 (ps2) Q

Voodoo486 · January 20th, 2003

We have one PS2 in the house, and one memory card. This hasn't been a problem as games take up so little space of the PS2 memory cards. Plus memory cards cost a lot. We just bought Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and it seems that only one person can save to a card.

Is there any way to save two or more people's game data to one memory card in Gran Turismo 3?

Thanks

There is one possibilty. But you should be using some kind of Mem card manager. The Action Replay2 V2 or GameShark 2 allows you to compress a particular save file. When GT3 save file is compressed, the game won't be able to find it. Then you can create another save. If you want to use your previous save, compress the current one and unzip the first one. It should work.

Darn, that would require me to buy a GameShark 2.

Shucks, I'm guessing there is no other way?

Syed Fawad · January 20th, 2003

I am afraid not.

BTW IMO it sux with games that only allows one save file.
And I guess since you must buy a hardware to solve you're problem, I would advise a Gameshark or Action Replay.

There is another way if your willing to part with a few bucks..

SharkPort is a device we picked up last year...It's great...we use our computer as a giant memory card....we can transfer saves to other folks via email..or we can get saves or Gameshark codes from their website....we have only 1 memory card as well..and the sucker is the only one we need....the SharkPort will run ya a little more then the cost of another memory card..but it is well worth the investment..

For some reason, the link ain't workin for me and I am yet to see that device. May be I don't because it wasn't avaiable at the time when I was looking for one.

LOL @ me
