Well...The problem is that some games do not save! it says 'failed' or 'unable to save' or something of that sort!

Then, when I open my PS2 memory card browser, it shows me files named 'corrupted data' resembled in blue cubes!!

I think the only way is to format my memory card! But how??

P.S : some games DO save and load without any problems or corrupted data.

Any recommendations?

Thanks all!

I am having the same issue. I have a 32mb memory card with HD Loader on it, and there is a corrupt file on it. I cant put games onto the HD now, how can I dump the corrupt file, or at least reformat the MC?

I do have HDL on another 8 mb MC so I could transfer it back onto the 32 after I reformat it.

No I have a normal 8MB memory card and no HD or files

Just normal game saves

I tried saving Metal Gear Solid 3 game and it saved successfully!

Some games do not work however!

Any recommendations?

I do not have either. I will look here at AD for Action Replay. Is it here?

If you have the ability to boot up backups you can use the memory card exploit.
