  • Meli-ichigo Feb 25, 2008

    My game won't let me save because it says there is no space, the card is a 64MB card, but it says it still needs at least 90KB free -- yet it is a brand new never before used card!

Hi,

When you choose to save when you are in any game, on the save screen you can choose to save to slot 2 provided there is a memory card inserted in slot 2.

    Did you try putting the card in slot 2 on the save screen?

Hey I have problem to, with my MC to ps2. I have this problem in the game: Burnout 3: Takedown and sometimes with Smugglers 2.
Could somebody tell me how to fix it, or clear something in card on my ps2. It says: "Loading" or something, and then: "please insert card"

Its PS2 slim, with card (not Sony) 64mb.
Thanks

Hey did anyone find out if theres a way to change the slot it saves to?


my ps2 (original... not slim ...) has the same problem i believe its the actual Playstation slot and not the card because i have tried my card in others and it worked... and other cards in mine and they havent worked....?


some games dont allow you to save to slot 2.... so is there some way i can switch it so slot 2 acts as slot 1? ... because slot 2 seems to be working....


any help would be great!

PS2 Memory Card Read Error

Hi,

Have you tried cleaning the open connections?

Ps2 memory card

First of all, make sure the card is in slot one. I'm not sure about Guitar Hero 3, but I know many games default to searching the first slot (the one on your left as you look at the system).

Assuming that's not the problem, it could be a sign that your memory card is wearing out. Do you have a second memory card? If not, I suggest getting one. Either way, put one card in each slot, and go into the browser. Copy the Guitar Hero saves over to the other card, then put that card in slot 1 and see if it works. If it does, I suggest copying all your saved games over to the new card, and throwing the old one out before you lose any save games permanently.

Ps2 won't read ps1 memory card

PS2's don't read PS1 memory cards outside of the browser screen. It can only be used as access memory. Hope this helped. As for the slots it might be only fixable by a mechanic.
