Data corruption - Page 2

It can also occur if dust or fluff or something similar gets onto the contacts of your memory card. Just blow into the contacts to clear it, but the data is lost forever, I'm afraid.
Actually, that's a lie. My Muppets Race Mania file got corrupted and still loaded fine. I just couldn't delete or copy it.

It may have been because of a Gameshark code that you used(If you ever used something like that on it) or because there are errors with all the old memory cards. Happened to me many times but that's because after I beat a game I always see what codes I can use after the game

Lol... NO! Don't delete the file, it's still good... I'll bet I'm too late, but here's why and how to load the file below.

Is there a reason for this?

99.99% of the time, the "Data's Corrupted" error message is caused from the use of a cheat device editing a character's stats or item count. Now, because a cheat device loads games using it's own boot ROM (bypassing the PS1 or PS2's ROM), save files can and often do become corrupt.

Actually, the save file isn't ruined, it just has a conflicting set information with it's original checksum file. Basically, if you can get a hold of a PS1 cheat device (anyone will do), you'll be able to load that corrupted file using a Checksum Bypass Code.

No I never do that. Sorry, but if you do that its plain retarded. Ive never done that in my life cause basically you shouldnt!

And Ive never used GameSharks with this game lol. No cheats at all, thats not me.
