GC memroy card error message

Try inserting it into a Gamecube and see if you get the same message.
I've had a problem similar to this (actually my brother had it). We have one of the white GC memory cards, the ones that store the most data. One day when we tried to play a game, it said our data was corrupted. But it turned out it wasn't only that games' data that was corrupted - it was every piece of data on the system. This sucks, as all of our data for every game is on the card. Is the memory card just busted, and if so, is there a way to rescue the data? Or are we screwed.
Don't want all of my gold medals in Rogue Leader to go to waste!
This happened to me once when trying to change memory cards at the Phantasy Star Online 1&2+ menu screen. You should always reset the system for that game as it loads everything from boot. Lost some really awesome characters.
Usually though in some instances I had to just blow really hard in the card and slot and rub some alcohol on the card conacts and blow it dry.
Dunno what your specific problem is, maybe there is some pc utility, I dunno.
Is it a third party memory card by any chance?
Nope,its a first party Memory card i had it since i bought my gamecube in 2005Originally Posted by Mayhem
I'd swap the Rogue Leader data onto a second memory card if you have a backup. Fire up the Rogue Leader game using that other memory card (the backup) to load the data from and see if it works/loads. That same thing can be done with other games stored on the original card, too.
Basically when I have a card which starts giving "corrupted data" messages, I swap the data for games over to another card one by one. This allows me to figure out what individual games I can (or can't) save. Sometimes I am able to isolate the one or two games causing the whole problem on the original card and either fix/delete that data then reformat that original card. Once the primary card is reformatted, then everything I did save gets sent back over to it from the backup card. Using BHvrd's advice at the same time you are doing this is also a good suggestion.
May not work for you but that is the best I can do for ya. Good luck
I ALWAYS keep an empty memory card (no data on it at all) as a backup for every system I own that uses them just in case something like this happens.
