Moving memory cards across computers.

[Ninjek]

What do you observe if you open the memcard with mymc?

When i open it it tells me that they aren't memcard image files. Ive also tried moving them on multiple different devices and it doesn't change anything so I don't think its that. Is it possibly a bios thing when you first load up the bios and use a different year? Could that have anything to do with it?

I've done a bit of tinkering and i still haven't found a solution. I have hours upon hours of saves I really don't want to lose so if someone could help me that would be great.

No, this makes no sense.

Please zip up the cards and post them here.

I get that too. I even posted it earlier. I really have no idea why its doing what it does. The cards still function just fine on my laptop and i've even moved things before so i really have no idea why any of this is happening.

This 7z files has a weird structure:

Code:

- Mcd001.ps2 (file)
- Mcd001 (dir)
  - Mcd001.ps2 (file)

And both files are identical and empty (or rather, all their bytes are 255) - they're NOT formatted. You can also easily deduce that they're empty because compressing two 8MB files end up as less than 3K - which means there's no data there.

There's also absolutely no issue with moving/compressing files which are already NTFS-compressed.

Do the following:

1. Run PCSX2 on the computer where your memory cards work - verify that they work by starting a game and loading a memory save from inside the game (NOT F3 - which loads a saved-state rather than from memory card).

2. Please tell us which game you're testing and how are you loading from the memory card.

3. Click the menu: Config -> Memory cards.

4. Make a screenshot and post it here.

5. On the memory cards window, click "Open in explorer" AND DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE!

6. Press on the keyboard: Control-a

7. Right click on the selected files, select 7z -> add to archive, press enter, and post the resulting 7z file here

So after going back and testing it somewhere at some point in time something happened to the memcard and something happened to it. While i was able to load it from my laptop. After going back to my laptop and attempting to move the card around the card with the saves was no where to be found. So it wasnt that the files were lost upon transfer but something happened to them where they didnt exist at all. I have no idea how this happened but i do thank all those who did attempt to assist me in my endeavor to move my saves. RIP in pepperonis JRPG saves.

You did provide an attachment of your memcard save file, you can download this and use it.

You realize the copy he attached was the broken one?
