I can't seem to save my games properly with this one memory card I have for my PS1. When I save the game and then go back to save again, it says that the data that was saved was damaged. I have tried blowing the card and trying again, but the problem is still the same. Anyone have an idea as to what's going on?
you probably glitched it, what was the last game you played? try loading that data again, and mind telling me if the memcard files show up when you look it up on the menu? (the no disk menu)
This is a new memory card that I just got off of eBay from a dealer who has some pretty good reviews so far. The game I last played was FF VIII, legit CD ver. I also noticed that every time I took out the memory card and jacked it back in, the memory completely wipes itself so there's no saved file or damage file when I attempt to load a saved file. My PS2 recognizes the memory card without any problem but the damaged files show up as white blocks.
PS memory cards use flash memory, and they wear out eventually. are you absolutely 100% certain it is new?
i've tried opening up my memory card and found what i think could be smudges (like dried up watercolor paint) or some sort between the circuits of the chip though i could be wrong. it's really hard to see without a magnifying glass.
Why not just contact the seller and return it for a refund saying that the product does not perform as advertised and that you would like your money back in exchange for the faulty card? That memory card has obviously run its life to completion. I would imagine that it suffered heavy, heavy use for many years to be in such a state.
