Thankfully I have another memory card, so I can just copy data whenever I want to play a game. This card offers TONS of memory space for your GameCube games. This thing hasn't corrupted on me once, and it's been over a year since I got it. Overall, it's worth it if you want more memory for your GameCube games. It'll take a long time to fill. If you're into the Sims games or sports titles, you'll certainly want to pick this one up. There's only one gripe I have with this thing, and that is that it stopped reading in Memory Card Slot A, so it rendered some games unplayable. (And yes, like all GameCube memory cards, it works with your Wii).
So I transferred my data while I could. But, even though I still had exactly 899 blocks left, it didn't let me save any more. But this just isn't built well. It's a good Idea to have so much memory, I mean, 2000 blocks will have anyone set, and a hardcore gamer might need two, if they save all of their rosters to sports games and have all of the extra stuff, and stuff. Well, if was fine for a little while. It only works in Slot A if I hold my thumb up to it, and not in Slot B at all. It would probably smash in peices if somebody dropped a controller on it.
So I just left it there to rot. It's delicate. I'm never using this again, and I hope that someone will come out with a better one. but one day I stuck it in and the Cube didn't think anything was in Slot B.
Well, I bought this and was like "YESSS, now I can save more stuff.111" because I only had a couple of Memory Card 59's. Later I taped it up a bit, and it seems to work fine. I've used it countless times, and it never messed up anything. Well I turned off, held it up with my thumb, and it worked, but if I took my thumb off, it didn't fit in. Melee snapshots to the card, it was perfect for it. I need a card with at least 700 blocks.The PowerSaves are just fine, though. I deleted all of the cruddy shots, and now I have 700 blocks worth of snapshots left.
(Well I had like 200 pics on it.). So I transferred all of my Smash Bros. Today I popped it back in to view pics. It's nice to just test the limit of some games.
Spent a LONG time getting almost to the end of Zelda only to have the card corrupt. Can't retrieve the game. I'll never buy off-brand again.
The memory card I bought can hold up to 2043 blocks of memory. I did not lose any of my data by using this process.1) Turn off the gamecube.2) Take out your game disk.3) Take out your memory card.4) Wait two minutes for the gamecube to cool off, then stick it back in.5) On the "Start Up" screen, hold "A" button.6) See if you need to still format.I tried that and I couldn't be happier. But if your memory card ever gets corrupted and needs to be formatted, do NOT format yet. It is extremely reliable and I had corrupted it myself by taking it out when the system was still on (I am used to a Sega Dreamcast, where doing this would be fine), and it messed up. However, the company sent me a new one at the expense of 5 dollars and it is great. I had not lost or corrupted any data.P.S- Do not take out the memory card while Gamecube is on.
It seems as if it will never run out of space. The card itself works very well but some times the disc can cause proplems. If you want to know what the disc is it is a disc with datafrom many different games.
