Memory card corruptions

[Mark87]

This is mostly gamecube related. I was just wondering what causes those memory card corruptions that delete your PSO characters and how do u prevent them?

[Rob19]

they can happen several ways, but the most common one is FSOD while the game is saving, or the power is turned off while saving. the memory card could just die out on you, or there could be a buildup of dust in the card. the latter can be fixed easy using a q-tip. the others, well, you'd have to backup your memory card data onto your computer. there is a way to do it, but you need a router, and the instructions on how to do it (which idk ><)

You dont necessarily need a router, a usb memory card works just fine.

Just any USB mem card? Or do I need a specific one?

does it still save your data if its corrupted? >>

Back in the day (before shop dupe) the USB memory card was used to dupe items and save chars. It's also great for transferring snapshots to your pc so you can use PSO Proxy to turn them into png files.

The utility Rob19 was speaking of is called GCS and it basically saves the info of your Nintendo memory card to your pc harddrive. Works well, but the USB memory card is better and faster.

Hmm I've actually had that happen to me ^ ^ My brother got pissed and slammed the lid down. The weird thing was, is that the power wasn't even on...
