Question on saving and memcards.

curtismlt · January 24th, 2002

I have searched the forum for a while on problems with memcards, it seems to me that if you are using savestates and then all of a sudden decide to use the memcard feature(like when a game crashes and you know it's a known issue and you need to use vgs to get around it), it won't work unless you've been using memcards since you started the game, is this correct?
Is there any way to get so far into a game using save states and then start using memcards without having to start over with no save states present?

i dont think so...
if you have been using savstates and the game hasnt crashed yet you can still save in the memcard

What I've done is checked to see if I started over would it make a difference, and after starting over with no savestates I can use the memcards, weird.

What game are you running? It might act like that with specific games. That hasn't happened to me either.

I'm running xenogears, I have no problem when I start over and try to use memcards and save states, but I was running the game using only save states, then when I tried to use the memcard I keep getting failure messages. It works now, I just had to start over from the begining, if anyone has a xenogears memcard saved at the point just before Fei gets captured and the whole blue light thing starts I would really appreciate it.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the chapter, I think it's 14 or 15 though, right after finding Nissan.
