Memory cards stopped working

andré · August 11th, 2002

Since i reformatted and transferred my memcards over, they have not been working properly. They work just fine for loading a game, but then when it comes time to save, they screw up and my save game in that slot is lost. For instance, i loaded SFA3 and it worked fine, then i attempted to save and restart, but it refused to load again. Same thing happened w/ Driver, i don't really want to try it w/ any other game and lose another save...

This crap happened to me too. I only really use save states now.

after much tweaking of my 3 memory cards, i think i've finally managed to solve the problem. It required extensive (only cuz i was experimenting) cross-referencing between what the psx bios detected was on my memory cards, and what Aldo's mem card tool dedected was on my memory cards. Eventually i managed to weed out some corrupt saves and so far have successfully saved my progress in Megaman 8, so things are looking up.

Much thanks to Aldo for the handy tool.
