PS2: Burnout 3 won't recognize my memory card

[thom_m]

Hi, fellas! I looked around the forums and didn't see anything like this, so I'll ask here...if there's already a thread like this or if this is the wrong forum, I ask the moderators to take care of it, please!

Here's the deal: I got a copy of Burnout 3 from a friend - a game that I happen to enjoy deeply. But there's one problem: it won't recognize my memroy card at all, so I can't save anything. It says there's no memory card inserted at all!

This is the only game I have that does this; the card works just fine with everything else - including backups. There's enough space for the data on it. I don't know what could be wrong.

Any feedback will be enjoyed deeply! Thanks, guys!

is this a first or 3rd party memory card. 3rd party ones are flakey in my experience.

First party card, which works just fine with everything else. I don't understand what's going on - and one of the reasons I got the PS2 was to play Burnout 3...

Apparently it's a common issue. See here for an example, and here's another one.

There's other posts at various forums that seem to have this issue.

... Both of those links have one thing in common: They're PAL region games...

Kitsune, I guess both links go to the same place! ) But htanks for the feedback, it's good to know that it's a rather common problem...someone probably found a solution already!

My version is not PAL, though...I'll google harder to see if I can find something. Usually, when it's a game-related issue, I come straight here...
