Ok, so I recently got off my ass and bought FFVII. I know, finally, right?

Well. I played about 5 hours into it (stupid pillar just fell), and went to save when I noticed something interesting. My origional saved game wasn't on the list. It was just totally empty. So I saved it a couple of times on there, hoping it was just a one time fluke.

But alas when I went to load up my game this morning- it was gone again!

So I went straight into the card to make sure my harvest moon and abe's exodus games were still there- but they are all fucking gone! The harvest moon games were almost done, too. ;_;

So my question is this: Does this happen sometimes with memory cards? with just playstation memory cards? Or am I just a complete retarded and managed to delete all my shit in my sleep? What am I supposed to do with a memory card that won't save my damn games?!

I just want to punch someone right now.

[edit]
Ok, so Josh Gourley has been kind enough to lend me one of his memory cards so that I can start my FFVII game over again.

Unfortunately it keeps dropping my saves after the first one I made. I'm beginning to think this is a problem with the console itself. Unless the game could mess this up?

Either way I am very frustrated.

I had my memory card break down on me when I was in the last level of tomb raider 3. It really pissed me off. In my case it really was broken though and it didn't just dissapear.

If I were you I'd buy a new memory card and toss this one in the bin. Wouldn't want to lose all your data again.

I'm guessing it was not a Sony memory card either. I've heard many tales of failed 3rd party memory cards. if it was a Sony I'd be even more pissed as those are expected to be reliable.

-pulls all of her hair out-

I don't think it was sony, but I wouldn't know as Freak gave it to me.

Argh, I can't wait until payday next week so I can get another. :'/

If it was Sony their name would have been on the card.

Next one you buy make sure you pick up a Sony card.
It is more expensive but as you can now see soo much more wrth it.

Actually i think they still might have those 2 pack of cards in alot of places. It is a clear red and a clear blue one for 15-20 bucks if memory serves.

That really sucks too.
And the Abe games kick some serious ass BWT I love them |D

Damn, that sucks.  I've heard bad things about 3rd party memory cards as well....always best to get a first party one...better to spend 2 extra hrs @ work to make money for a first party card and 15 hrs of game saves that will likely never vanish than to have 17 hrs of game saves that will vanish sooner or later ;)  

By the way, talking about third party PSX memory cards....I bought a brand new NES clone a while back that looks like a PSX, and it came with a PSX memory card that I assume was made by the same pirated company as it seems to be of really shitty quality...but I really don't understand why a PSX memory card came together with a NES clone!!  ::)

I don't remember if it was Sony or not.  I don't think it was though.
