    My son has been playing my old PS2 for a while now. He has just discovered Spyro. I had an old Sony 8MB card in there and it has been working fine, and it continues to work fine for all the games except Spyro. Is that a common thing?

    Would formatting the card fix it or is it best just to get another card? I kind of hate to lose the data on there that still works. We're about 5 hours into Lego Star Wars. I bought the card when I bought the system at least 6 years ago.

    It is unusual. It could be the game if it is new.
    Formatting will lose all your saves, but it might work. If you have another memory card you can transfer over those saves.

    Thanks Gunny. The Spyro game is one that I've had for years and it used to work just fine. I played through the whole game on that card. Oh welll, I've seen stranger things happen. I just called my local game shop and they carry PS2 cards for about $20, so I think I'll just replace it and copy over the Star Wars save to the new card.

    Is it Enter the Dragonfly for PS2 or one of the ones on regular Playstation. If its for PS1 then you should know why the mem card wont work lol

    was there ever a time when power was turned off while the game was saving ? i had some Kingdom Hearts saves corrupted once when my wireless controller shut off during a save (why the controller should ever impose on memory is beyond me)

    The card works for other saves so I don't think that is the case.

    but it wouldn't necessarily corrupt the entire card, just the profile (game) it was accessing at the time ? i can't remember, but it seems like only the KH files were screwed

    Ryan got it. It was Ripto's Rage. I had forgotten that it was originally a PS1 game. I put in an old PS1 memory card and all is fixed. Doh!

    Brain fart indeed! :ha: In my defense, it had been 5 or 6 years since I played any console other than V.Smile. I was just amazed that I could still find PS1 memory cards in my house!
