Memory card slot 1 failed ( stopped working )

[neko77025]

Fist off want too say .. I did many searches looking for this issue however did not find any that were like mine .. sorry if I missed it.

Anyhow, I have been playing FF X for a bit now .. was at 62 hours in. As I went too save in the omga runis .. i got a blue screen (BSOD). So I restart my comp .. fast boot FF X .. go too Mem Card 1 and I get msg like this PS 2 memory card slot 1 faild to load. No matter what i try can get it too show any of my saves. I happen too have 1 .. only one save in mem slot too its at hour 48 ( GRRR ). when i load that and try too save too Mem slot 1 it says. Check of mem card 8mb ps2 in memory card slot 1 failed.

UMM what do I do too fix mem slot 1 ? .. dd i just lose 15hours of game play.. ( i quit if so LOL ).

Sidenotes: I have not had bluescreens in A year +, installed battlefield 3 alpah last night only change too my comp since i have been play FFX. (now its uninstalled ) ... have had 0 issuse with the PCSX2 for the last 60 hours of play time once I fixed the clamps thing for FF X.

Did you get the BSOD while saving? Then I'm afraid your save is probably corrupt :/

well yes .. i was in the act of saving .. it made the sound it makes when you are done saving .. but it BSOD right after that.

I would assume the last save would be bad .. but how do I get too the saves before that .. that are on mem card 1?

Hmm try this, go to the CDVD menu in PCSX2 and select No disc. Then do a Full boot, get in the memory card browser and try transferring the saves from memcard 1 to memcard 2

Did you have other saves you need there? If not, just go in the PCSX2 installation folder, memcards folder and delete the mcd001 file, PCSX2 will auto generate a fresh one. If you still need saves from it, I guess you could try using MyMC to recover them ( http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-How-to-us...from-PCSX2 ) (it's a guide for a different thing but you can download the program from there)
