This has been posted on this and other message boards before, but it seems that people are still being corrupted and loosing their characters. So I'm posting this method which worked for me on how to reclaim your corrupted characters.
What you'll need:
Gamecube [obviously]
PSO [obviously]
Corrupted Memory Card
Second Un-Corrupted Memory Card
How to do it:
1 - with the corrupted memory card in slot 2 and an uncorrupted memory card in slot 1, start up your gamecube.
2 - when the main menu comes up select ONLNE GAME
3 - select any character*
4 - confirm selection
5 - take out both memory cards and place the corrupted memory card in slot 1 and the uncorrupted in slot 2
6 - press the 'B' button to go back to the character select screen.
7 - voila! all your corrupted data remains!
8 - go online and then quit game.
After you go online and quit you should never get the "This memory card is corrupted blah blah blah" screen again. If you don't go online, you can do the same thing offline, but you'll have to swap each time I think. Of course this method requires a second memory card, but you can do it with your friends, or just go out and buy one, they're only like 10 bucks now.
*You may need to have the same number of characters on each card - so if your uncorrupted card has 3 and your corrupted card has 4 make a new one in the empty slot. If vise versa, you can still make a new character on your corrupted card by selecting OFFLINE GAME -> MULTI MODE -> and then using the temp slot, access the corrupted memory card and make a new character. You can also do this to get all your items off a corrupted character if you decide not to continue using that card / it's characters.
Remember - never delete your corrupted card - there is a way to get all that time back.
Maybe this should be set to sticky because it seems that there is still a lot of people with Corruption problems...
