All the buzz around Dragon Quest 9 last week made me finally blow the dust off my PS2 and toss in DQ8, which I've had forever but never got around to playing. I got about four hours in, went to save and noticed my old save file had corrupted. I saved on two slots to be safe, next time I played I had one good and one corrupt, once again, I deleted the corrupt save and saved on two files. Next time I played I had two corrupt saves, none good. Fuck.
My memory card has a block of corrupt data on it I can't delete (which had always solved such problems in the past). Looking for a solution online turned up two possibilities.
1. 3rd party software that can reformat the entire card, which requires my PS2 to be able to run homebrew software, so that option is out.
2. The memory card is fucked, buy another. Luckily I have another, but Katie has it....
Also luckily, I was only about 4 hours into the game....
