TC was probably using a third party memory card.

Yeah, most third party memory cards are unreliable. I've never had any problems playing GC games on the Wii.

What game were you playing and what kind of memory card did you use?

In that case it's probably the memory card. I had a third party memory card reformatting before. Some games just can't take it, such as F-Zero GX.

I just had the same thing happen to me last night.

Official 1019 card, bought in April 07 (i know, stupid one year warranty) corrupted itself in the middle of Skies of Arcadia.

It's fairly unfixable if the Wii format doesn't work, I'm afraid to declare.

Well, I have an official 1019 memory card, and my Wii declared someday it was corrupted... Now, all the GC Games I try to save, tell me the Files are corrupted.... And it did the same thing to one of those pelicans cards...

So, whats the matter? Can I play GC games on my Wii, with the price of losing ALL my saves??? :evil:

Not sure if Im so happy now with my Wii... That 1019 had my whole game collection...

Any ideas?

If you can, try to find a Gamecube to format your memory card, every once and awhile it fixes the problem the Wii cannot.

Other than that, 1019 cards are $18.99 at Gamestop (hint: $5 trade-in) and around $15 at local stores.

I too wish GC memory data could be transferred to the Wii, the horrible block system Nintendo redesigned is hardly an excuse for incompatibility.

Don't use third party memory cards. They are garbage. Pick yourself up a Nintendo brand card.

No. Are you sure you don't have a third party memory card?

Edit: You're using a pelican memory card? No wonder. They're one of the worst third party accessory makers out there. Just play it safe and get a proper Nintendo memory card.

Trust me its not just 3rd party cards. I have a big OFFICIAL Nintendo Card that is corrupted and will not format. I never took it out while saving or messed with it, just leaving it in the Wii messed it up.

Never had this issue. And I use third party memory cards from MadCatz and Joytech, had them for a few years, two of the MadCatz ones I had sucked, but the rest worked fine even after all these years. Didn't even have a problem with Joytech's memory cards, even after all these years I've had them.

... I guess the wii don't like the 1019 cards, oh well just don't use iot every day on the wii, prehaps it's a system fault (the wii's, not yours) and use 3rd party cards are no good, f zero gx reminded me to stick to nintendo cards. just ask ssbm after 2 years worth of data was destroyed... Nearly cried, but then again I can't play import games on my wii since it went online...same deal.

I've had the same problem with my 1019 for a while now (not sure if its official or not). So my cousin gave me a crappy 3rd party card he had lying around, but for some bizarre reason it can only store about 50 blocks at a time. So now I have the 1019 in slot B and I have to temporarily copy the save file from whatever game I'm playing to the new card and then tranfer it back when I'm done. It's a very tedious set-up, I must say.

I agree that Ninty should just let us tranfer GC data to the Wii. Not that I'd be able fit much at this point with all my VC games, but it would at least be something. Oh yeah, and bring the Wavebirds back! :x

Yeah I was using Nintendo memory card (not third party) and I was playing Resident Evil 4 for GC and when I was half way done with the first disk it said the memory card had corrupted. So now I have to leave the Wii until I beat the game.

When I first bought the wii at launch, i bought mvp baseball 2004 and a new memory card....About 1/4 of the way through the season, the card was corrupted, so I knwo what you're talking baout...It sucks, but Nintendo replaced my memory card with a new one since the card was only 3-4 months old....They usu dont do that for accessories and stuff liek that, but they did that one time...

My giant 1029 block GC memory Card got corrupt and doesn't want to save anymore. Even after I format my memory, once I save a game, and once I turn off my Wii, the data automatically goes sorrupt. I was pissed because 95% of my 31 GC games were using that memory card to save. however, I don't think the Wii had anything to due with my memory card...

Me too.:evil: Stupid Wii! I had to buy a new one that has less blocks. I guess it gives me reason to play through MP, MP2, SC 2, Beach Spikers, WW, and MM over again.

Please don't revive old threads, thanks. And looking back, this has been revived enough times.
