Playstation Memory card help
Using a third-party Playstation memory card with Final Fantasy 7 on my PS2, go to save last night, and the file shows up, all is well. However, whenever I subsequently save, it shows no previous save files. At this point I'm getting concerned, so I save once more, hit reset and fire it up...yep, no save files. Is the card just DOA,or is there something else I need to do when playing playstation games/memory cards on the PS2? It's a newer model, slim PS2.

Exact same thing happened to me twice on DW7. Playing it on a PS2 with a 3rd party memory card. 1st time, it just said the file was corrupt (mind you, this was about 55 hours into the game).
A few months later, I built the resolve to start over, this time periodically backing up my generic PS1 file to my PS2 card for safe-keeping. I think, it has been a long time. Eventually my generic PS1 gave out again AT THE SAME POINT in the game. I bought a 1st party card and moved my backup file to it and never had a problem again.
Moral of the story, stay away from 3rd party memory units.
