I Really Need Help!!! Memory Card Corrupted!!!

DJBenny

Ok. this all happened out of nowhere....

My brother wanted to play DDRMAX for ps2 so he put in my memory card before the system even turned on. He asked me what the corrupted file meant, and I cursed to myself...... I tried copying the DDRMAX system file to another memory card, but it was also corrupted. Please don't tell me I have to start over. I had all the songs, 4/5 of them were AA'd. My brother also claims that he didn't take the memory card out at the wrong time when switching the system off. Is it the memory card slot or something? Or if it isn't, is there any way i can get data retrieval for a Ps2 memory card? Because seriously, this took me SUCH A LONG TIME to do...and I just don't have that time anymore.

- Please help, PLEASE!!!!!

How did I handle it?

I sighed and proceeded to unlock all the songs again.

Have fun.

Aww, It's not a big deal. All you need to do is unlock them again and wait a couple seconds after the memory card saves or loads until you turn off your PS2. If you pull it out or turn off the PS2 while you are loading/saving, then your memory is likely to be corrupted.

At this point, there is nothing you can do to save it.

I have the same problem. I just started to unlock all the songs again. I think that is all you can do. My mem card stays in 24/7 and it still go corrupted. only my max file. I had just about everything AA and some AAA on light. The only thing that I didn't have AA was max 300. With the one good I didn't have enough perfects to AA. SUCKS.

That happened to me thrice with DDRMax and once with DDRMax2.
My advice: Suck it up and do everything over.

The good thing about it is it increases replay value, you want to unlock more and more unless you don't want to...

Was that this happened out of NOWHERE....I never took the memory card out or put it in at the wrong time when it was loading or saving. Since this happened to so many people, is this something that randomly happens because of the game itself?

No, it's definitely user based. Either someone turned the game off during a DO NOT TURN THE GAME OFF NOW screen, or you only turn the PS2 on and off with the switch in the back (which is known to corrupt cards the same way).

There's no way to recover a lost save data, so just start over.

And this belongs on Console Games if you have any further questions.
