So... After my memory card died hideously, I got a brand spanking new 64MB beast... But I had only just bought a copy of F-Zero when the old card died, so I saved my game on another old card that's only 4MB or whatever the smallest capacity is for GC cards...
I really wanted to transfer all files I want to keep to the 64MB one, and maybe keep a backup of any games I really don't want to lose on my spare 4MB one... But I can't seem to copy my F-Zero file for some reason... The memory card manager has the 'copy' option greyed out, same thing for the 'move' option, and I have no idea why... I have no F-Zero saves on the other card, and it's got plenty of space (more free space than the other card has capacity!) so I have no idea why I can't copy it...
Anyone else know if this is just something to do with F-Zero in general, and anyone know any workarounds...?
Chars...

eh? My F-Zero GX is saved fine on a 3rd Party 4MB card... although it won't let me Move or Copy the file to the 64MB one... But it is saved on a non-official card.
Although I think it was after putting an F-Zero save on my other 4MB card that it wiped... :S
But there were problems with that card anyway... Kept saying my RE4 game wasn't there, so I had to keep taking the card out, putting it back in, etc. until it finally decided it had been there all along... And it had wiped my Super Monkey Ball game ages ago... Bah.

Lol, and people complain about Microsoft's planned 3rd party lock-out.
I imported one of those massive official ones. It's white.
I haven't used it yet though, as I've not started any new games since filling the last one.
I'll probably break out BG+E soon.

It's a big, bitter FU from Sega to Nintendo fans, intended to mess up and delete all your saves. But yeah, it only saves on official cards.

Is the 64mb one an unofficial card?
If so, tough luck, because I can remember my F-Zero GX not being saveable on anything other than my official Nintendo one.

I remember a few others that would let you move but not copy. The SA2B Chaos were one example. Although the important function for those files was erase.
I suggest opening up your memory card, cut out the area inside that you think corresponds to your save, then superglue it inside the other memory card.
Problem solved.
I swear my blue gamecube works.

Can you 'Move' it, instead of 'Copying' it?
Think Soul Calibur does that to. Maybe it's because they don't want one person playing and unlocking all the stuff, and then giving it to a mate... Which is REALLY lame because people should have a right to decide what the hell they want to do with their own stuff for their own enjoyment. Stupid, lame, computer game developers!
