Is anyone having a problem with the memory card for the PS2?.
I do not know if this is happening to anyone else but, after saving your progress in a game, the game or the console corrupts the data in that slot!.
Being new to the Playstation scene, Is this a common thing or is something up with the card or the console?.
It is pretty damn annoying after a few days gaming and finding that you cannot load up where you last left off and have to start all over again!!!. AARRRGGGHHHH.
It seems to happen mainly with PS1 games when using the original type memory cards. The 8mg PS2 card seems to work well with all the PS2 titles, just the occasional machine crash every now and then.
Then again maybe it is a faulty machine.
Any help would be appreciated!.

No problems for me. I have 7 PS2 games, all with saves on one memory card, and 4 PS1 cards with previous games on. No trouble whatsoever.
Are your PS1 cards official Sony or 3rd party?

I have 5 ps2 games and have had no problems with the ps2 card, i also have 5 psone cards 2 of which are not sony ones and are both full and these dont give me problems either.
Another silly question...
Do you have your PS2 switched on when you switch cards? Your PS2 should always be switched off - or on standby - when you insert or remove a memory card.
I don't mean to talk to you like you're an idiot, but you'd be surprised how many people plug things in with the machine switched on! :-)

Wookie,
Well I hope the kids are doing that!.
What they do as they get further into a game is to save at every save point. When they then make a bad move or play badly is to restart the game, at a more favourable position, as they then know what to do!.
When they reload, that is when the error message pops up.
The only solution, that I have come up with, is to save the game on three slots and then at least you have something to fall back on!.
The thing that I have noticed though, is if you save another save-game over the corrupted slot the data appears to be alright. Puzzling is not the word!!.
They seem to be doing everything right, pressing the reset button to restart the game or turning the machine off before changing the mem cards.
Never seems to happen to me though, but then again I never seem to get a go of the damn thing.

My memory crad is working fine. As been said before, make sure its on standby before removing anything from the PS2. If this continues, get another card.
Nirvana,
I'm at a loss to explain it, but you're not the first person I've heard of with this problem; I just wanted to be sure there wasn't an obvious reason.
I've only ever had a problem with one memory card, and that was a freebie 3rd-party card that came with the first ever issue of PSW magazine... it screwed up the save of my GT2 game, so I binned it (the card, not the game!)
But that was on my PS1 - I've never had a problem (yet!) on the PS2. Is it always on the same card, or has it happened on more than one? Could it just be a dodgy card?
