Virtual Memory Card corrupt?

Post by swankerme » Mon Aug 30, 2021 2:43 am

I attempted to utilize the virtual memory card feature in Swiss today. Swiss configuration settings are saved to my SD2SP2. I tried two different games in both games initially recognize the virtual memory card and slot a, but then say the memory card is corrupt. How is this possible? What am I missing?

They aren't preformatted.

And how do you go about formatting a virtual memory card?

You boot trough IPL (It's a setting of SWISS), press B not to straight launch the Game, then go to the Memcard manager and format the virtual memory card (pull off any memcard before, not to mess something).

Games can't format a memcard?
