Constant Damaged Virtual Memory Card
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 6:36 am
Hello,
I recently got a GC Loader and am having a problem with the virtual memory cards where most games will say the memory card is damaged.
A lot of games like F-Zero GX, Crazy Taxi, or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle will randomly successfully save when prompted or will require multiple attempts to save correctly. A few games like Pokémon Channel save 100% of the time. And some games like Animal Crossing won’t save at all and will come up with the damage error and show as a blank tile on the memory card screen.
I have boot through IPL and Virtual memory cards enabled and when I format a virtual card it comes up with an error stating that the memory may have not been formatted and “The Object Inserted in Slot A cannot be used”. But upon a reboot or using the in-game reset feature, the memory shows up as correctly formatted.
This error also pops up when I try to copy save files from a real memory card to the virtual one and vise versa
I am currently use:
- GC Loader on 1.1.2 firmware with a 128 GB SanDisk SDXC card formatted as FAT32
- Eon GCHD MK-2 on GCVideo 3.0e hooked via Wii component cables
- SD2SP2 with a 4 GB micro SDHC Toshiba Card as the virtual memory card formatted (currently) as exFAT
I have tried formatting the SD2SP2 SD card as both FAT32 and exFAT, using the standard way and through diskpart. Errors occurred on both formats. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
