Well this stinks.

Guess what happened? My GameCube Memory Card got corrupted, deleting all of my game files except for ONE of my Paper Mario TTYD files, my sonic adventure dx file (though it did erase my Chao data) and my Super Mario Sunshine file (thankfully).
Can't do that on GameFAQs

This happened to me once, but that was a long time ago... I believe it was only one or two of my game saves, but I was still pissed.

GC Memory Cards = unreliable (usually).

Was it a MadCatz?

[Espmaster_]

I forgot

[Splash_King]

MadCatz has a bad reputation to fail... especially during the last console generation. Even though my memory card's failure was minor, it was a normal Nintendo-brand Memory Card. It was the smallest memory card you could buy, though.

[ROB64]

Yeah, and it was the only one that would fit in the game case.

[Espmaster_]

Yeah, it was probably MadCatz then, it can fit into the cases fairly easily.

I'm gonna be playing my Wii alot this summer...

How does corruption even happen? I've had the same GC 251 memory card for almost 9 years and it's never once lost any data. Don't fool around with it, don't take it out while the console is on, and don't let it get dirty. It's not that hard to keep in good condition.

Any questions answered?

And your a bit late. I already recovered most of the data that was lost.
