1.0 out of 5 stars Beware the 16X Memory Card, May 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Game Cube Mega Memory 16X Memory Card (Video Game)

To all those out there who want more memory space for their Gamecube, let this be a warning.
I recently purchased a 16x Mega Memory Card and was extremely disappointed. At first I was so overwhelmed by the enormous amount of memory space that I now possessed that I proceeded to transfer every file that I had on my Memory Card 59's to this memory monster. I moved every single file from every game I own to the 16x and didn't use even half of the space.
Then the disaster. I turned on my Gamecube to play and recieved a message. The file for the game I was playing was corrupt and had to be deleted. In a panic I began to try all of my games and guess what, EVERYTHING was corrupted! Every high score, team roster, mission, level....Everything that I had accomplished on any game since I bought my Gamecube in November was ERASED!
Whether or not this has happened to others, I do not know. But it happened to me, and it will take me countless hours to get back what I had. So, if you are thinking about purchasing a Mega Memory Card, just make sure that you make backup copies of all of your files so that you don't end up like me!

3.0 out of 5 stars Do not listen to what others say, and read this ASAP., September 16, 2002

It IS true. This memory card will get corrupt, but do not listen what others are saying. A game will always prompt you, saying "The file you have selected is corrupt, and must therefore be deleted before continuing." This only happens sometimes, but watch this.

ALWAYS carry a Nintendo Memory card handy. Either a 59 or that new 251 one. When you get the error, turn the game off, and put the Nintendo brand card in an open slot (There are 2 slots. A and B) and load the Gamecube Setting screen. (Either take the game out or hold down "A" when the gamecube logo starts to assemble at the opening screen) and you will see a box. Go down to the "memory card" space. Highlight the file, and click "move". The file will be moved to the other card. It will no longer be corrupt. Take out the Interact card and use the Nintendo one for the game instead.

Basically, the card is used more as a storage device. If you don't know what to do, don't look at me, you obviously don't know how to work a gamecube.

1.0 out of 5 stars UNSTABLE!, April 4, 2002

Card seemed to work great for days at a time. However data would become corrupt and we would be prompted to delete the file every few days. Initially when my 10 year old lost his data on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle I convinced him it would be fun to "do it all again." The second time I agree that this is not what we paid for. Very unstable and has been returned. Not typical of the quality I am used to purchasing at Amazon.
