Man I wish I found this sticky before it happened to me. 4 years of hard work dumped down the toilet!

CrimsonClaws wrote:I found this site about a month ago and it's quite useful, but last week my memory card wanted me to format it even though it's been fine for years. ( Though I did delete some Pokemon Coliseum data on the Wii before it happened, so maybe that's why it's messing up. ) I'd rather not do so if I can help it since that's several years of work that I'd lose. So, I've been looking around the forums in hope of some way to recover my data, but the error message you provided is not the same as the one I have. The error message I get reads as follows:

Nintendo Gamecube TM Memory Card in Slot A needs formatting. Do you want to format? All data will be lost if you format now. Choose NO to continue without saving.

Then it gives me the two different options:
Yes
No

So, my question is this: Is there anyway to save my data, or do I have to restart everything? Because, blowing on it is not helping in the slightest. ( Really hope I don't have to, but I doubt I have a choice in the matter. )
OH. MY. GOD. I had that happen to me years ago and it scared me so bad! I didn't touch it for months... And THEN, I looked into the memory card that happened to be in Slot B at the time.. Lo and behold, the chao file and several other files had magically moved/copied themselves over.

I think I've had this happen twice, I noticed that the off-brand Memory Cards tend to have those issues. :no:

When your memory card is corrupted, before your game starts, a blue box pops up saying the memory card is corrupted and needs to be formatted.

same for my brother, he was doing a glitch, and he left the garden by accident, he went back it, it froze on a black screen and the error message pulled up. All he did was reset and he only lost like 5 minutes of sitting in the garden aging his chao.

It happemed to me earlier when I had low-capacity memory cards. When I bough a more powerfull memory card, I never had this problem.
But I lost SA2B gamecube CD before. I'm glad i found Sa2B on Steam.
