corrupt file

[johnjohn13]

My nephew had the memory card in the ps2 and was ready to play Def jam fight for NY and it wouldn't load from the memory card (start of game)he said it said something about can't load maybe file is corrupt.

I've looked around(searched ) put can't really see what the various reasons are for something like this to happen. I know if you turn it off while it is saving that can cause it but are there other reasons.

Had no problems in the past saving and loading from the memory card when playing this game. hasn't happen on any other game and he copied over the corrupt file saving his progress in def jam. and it's loadings now from the start of the game.

thanks,

Sometimes it just happens - it did once with my completed Vice City save

i guess what i'll do it just buy another card and backup the saves.

thanks, for the reply.

You can rescue corrupt memory cards by 'unformatting' them with QA Tool. When you go into the browser after unformatting, the console will ask you to format the memory card as it does out-of-the-box.

So, if you know somebody with a bit spare on their MC, copy your saves to there, unformat your card, reformat using the PS2 browser and copy the saves back across to your card - it'll save you a bit of money in the process too
