Memory card question?

Post Reply New Topic

I have dying to play ratchet and clank but ps3 bs backwards compatibility makes unplayable I have a ps2 but its really hard to keep the memory cards in and they keep dissapering any suggestions.

Suggestions for not losing the memory cards? Put them in the game case.

I know where the card is the system gives you a hard time detecting the damn things.

Is it a first party memory card?

Lots of third party ones can lose data sometimes, or have difficulty being recognized by the console. Also, if the card has been heavily used or has some dusty connections, that's not going to help.

I'd take a visual look at the card's connections, and if they look clean, try it out on a friend's PS2. If that PS2 reads the card fine, it's probably your system that's got the trouble.

Which is horrible. Dead systems are a terrible feeling.

Its first party,its probably just due do blowing it,I think I can fix it because I had some n64 games from my first n64 down in the basment and I cleaned them and they worked perfectly.

Sony uses Memory Stick. Not the best choice of name. You might be better of installing a Mem Stick in the console and using the format function so the system can and will be sure at writing to it correctly. I should have done that with my one. It's 2GB and I am pretty sure it's going to be FAT16 and in efficient. That doesn't bother me as most files on there break the standard boundary anyway.


Wouldn't it be better to keep all these Memory Sticks kept together in a static free or purpose designed case?

I just tried it and it oddly didn't dissappear I am so glad the choose to use a hardrive in the ps3 but then the mad crappy backwards compatiblilty.
