Omg...1gb dead memory stick?

Yes it was a Sandisk brand. I wouldnt be able to turn it since I bought it online and threw away the package and stuff when I got it

I don't think you need the packaging since Sandisk offer a "LIFETIME GUARANTEE", or at least they did with both 1GB cards I have. As long as it's branded I think they will fix or rather replace it. Goto the website and contact them to find out.

Let us know what happens.

EDIT - I missed that you formatted it and fixed it already, cool. I think I wilkl back up my important save games every now and then to make sure this does not happen to me. Hate to loose my save on Zelda : Link to the past.

my card doesnt appear in the psp even though its there, how do you format it ?

**parabolee** · August 3rd, 2005, 18:43

I think you will need a PC CARD reader in order to format it if the PSP won't read it. But read around because I havn't had this prob with the magic duo, just MMC's.

But card readers are only abou $8 - $15, especially on eBay

yeah the ****in snes emu crashed so i had to rtake the battery out and now no card being recognised

you don't need a card reader

insert the card into the psp, connetc it to your computer.
your computer will recogize a usb drive, format it using windows.
now the psp should read it

Wraggster which SNES emu crashed on you?

***wraggster*** · August 3rd, 2005, 20:40

the new one

Sort of weird though considering I restarted the PSP several times and tried to save games but it didnt read the memory stick. Nothing read the memory stick so the last thing was I reformat it on the PSP and it worked with 980 mb back or soemthin close to that
