PS2 data corrupted... again

**schoof** · Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 4:32 am Post subject: PS2 data corrupted... again

The first time my PS2 data got corrupted was about a month ago, so I started all over again.. Re-5stard all of easy through hard and improved allot in expert. Tonight, I went to play again and my data was corrupted again...

Then I remembered a thread where you can copy your game to an other memory card and it may "un-corrupt" your GH3 data, so I tried it and it didn't help, I still lost everything.

Before anyone asks, I have never closed my PS2 while it was saving or loading data, the only time I closed it in GH was at the song selection screen (especially after the first time I lost my data, I have been allot more careful since then).

My question is this, does anyone know why PS2 versions of GH3 have a tendency to corrupt files? And does anyone know how to avoid these problems?

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. (I have started to backup my savegame to make sure if something happens I won't be far off, but it is a nuisance)

Edit : On a weirder note, my old save game that is corrupted now won't let me save over it or delete it, since my PS2 says it is a corrupted space. (I'm pissed off)

Happens to me a lot. there's nothing you can do about it except play everything over again, which isn't a bad thing. You can now improve all your previous scores unless you're lazy, but still that does suck about losing your data and fc;s, happened to me once too and i'm still pissed off about that. But I re-beat the game and pretty much boosted my career score up 500k. That's impressive, to me

but keep going, no reason to quit anyway. Just start over, it'll only take you a couple of hours to beat everything again.

Yeah, I'm not so pissed about re-doing expert, but I always want to have everything I can in a game that I buy, thats why I 5stared Easy through hard twice. I don't mind doing expert again, but I really don't fell like doing the rest if I'm going to have to start over again in a few months.

Another Edit : I only have 2 memory cards for my PS2 (one is corrupt for GH3) and no money to buy an other one (I blew my knee a month ago and can't work, so all the money I have is going to pay rent and food until I'm healed) so I can't backup my progress even if I wanted too.

This happening to me was one of the turning points in me deciding to buy a PS3.

When it happened I just sat there looking at the screen for about 5 minutes repeatedly saying: 'what a fucking joke' under my breath.

Like what was said above it could help you in increasing scores but I was so pissed off I feel your pain, so many hours wasted!

Just start again and unlock all the songs with a cheat!

First off, are you using a Sony (OEM) memory card? 3rd party memory cards suck ass. And if you have 2 memory cards, just backup your data every once in a while.

Yes, I am using two Sony OEM memory cards, but now that one of my saves is corrupted on one of them, I for some reason can't delete it or create a new save file on that card... I'm going to have to buy another one I guess (it sucks to have to by one just for GH3)
