<div class="IPBDescription">For you consolites out in NS Land</div> Ok, I remember Nintendo released the new 1019 memory card just before I went offline and moved. I also remember seeing there were some problems with it, though I can't remember the severity. However, what with the being offline and moving and losing track of everything in that span, I was never aware of how that turned out.

Can anyone tell me if that issue has been addressed, or if it's minor enough to ignore, and/or if the 1019 is worth it? Thankee kindly. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My GameCube Memory card's not made by Nintendo, and I heard they are the ones that have the problems, not he official Nintendo ones. I heard they sometimes delete saves, but for the time I've had my card, nothing's gone wrong.

    Oh, so was it only the third-party ones that had the problem? Hmm. Well, that would certainly resolve that dilemma if that's the case.

    It also depends on game.

    Metroid Prime had a TERRIBLE save system. A lot of people would have stuff randomly deleted for no reason.

    I have a 3rd Party Memory Card that holds 1019 blocks of data and every now and then the GCN will read it as corrupted. So I have to take it out and put it back in a few times and it's good. I've never had any problems with losing data. And I've never had <b>any</b> problems with Metroid Prime at all, nothing has ever deleted itself for me on that game and i've beaten it like 3 times. Awesome game if you ask me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My brother has one of those and said one time it erased his Time Splitters 2 save. I'd avoid the buggers.

    Say, does anyone know if those SD Card converters are available? You know the one one that looks like a GC memory card, but you really just slip an SD card into it? I figure I might as well get one now since I finally have other uses for SD cards.

    Hmm.. I just got a random generic gamecube savegame card, and i've had it for as long as I've had my cube (about 2 years now?), no problems whatsoever. In fact I'm a little suprised to learn that other people are even having these problems.

    I remember pictures of that a while back... but that idea must have gotten canned.
