Whats the compatibility like for having PAL and NTSC (both Jap and US) saves on a memory card?

I ask coz Im (hopefully) gonna get a Freeloader and get a US Animal Crossing and Jap Ikaruga and I wondered if I'd need a new card to save different regioned games on.

I really dont want to screw up my PAL saves.

I know that and it seems, 99% of the Edge Forum know that. As i say, it's more than likely a simple case of WS doing something wrong, or simply doesn't know how to do it. Which is not a bad thing. You live and learn.

Just because you don't know how to do something, and have to be told/shown buy someone else, isn't somethign to be ashamed of, the whole point of the gaming scene is to share the info and learn.

I have two cubes; a PAL one and an american NTSC one. You CAN save both american and pal game saves on the same card, whatever WS says.

checout the above link. about have way down, written by some guy called Luke.

Read the thread. You are in the minority. most agree that you can save UK.US on same card, with 2nd needed for Jap.

You must be doing something wrong dude.

Hmm, well there are a number of people over on the Edge Forum who would beg to differ matey. and all of people posting have UK/JAP/US cubes.

The general consensus is that UK/US on one card, Jap on a seperate one.

Also on the code junkies site, they make FL, it says in the FAQ that you have to have 1 US/UK mem card and 1 for Jap!

I would suggest that you a) are doing something wrong. or B) the Q is the random factor in the chain as all of these other who have no problem sharing UK/US saves on the same card don't have a Q.

But if i said that, you'l prolly hit the roof again, so i won't ;-)

I have a PAL Black GC as well.


And personnaly, I'm going to go with the fact that I've actually tried saving different region games on the same card over your poor guesswork.

I will question who i choose, and when it is quite obviously such a indignate child such as yourself i think it is only right to question comments you make.

oh and 1 more questions for ya' big shot!

How are you running UK/US/JAP games on a Q? Or have you only been able to do this since freeloader. I guess you have a modded Q so you can switch between JAP and US, but how do you play UK games without FreeL.
