Never used the loader, but the madcatz memory cards I've had suck. Get corrupted randomly every once in a while and I lose all my files.

I'd go with an official one. Got got a 3rd party one and lost all my data, which made me stop playing my GC for a few years.

Lucky for me, a few months ago I got a new official Nintendo 1019 block memory card for about $4 at Toys R Us.

I was having a few problems with saves, but I believe that is because I was switching around cMIOS's, and so far since sticking with Wani's cMIOS I haven't had any problems.

I have a 32MB Memory card from BigBen since from the first batch. It was heavily used and never lost any data. Though I heard that later batches weren't that good. If you have the money, get an original card and you'll be on the save side.
If you get a 3rd party anyway you should back it up regulary. There a a few pretty easy to use tools for Wii to do this.

I have this one too. Although i have barely used it, it has worked fine and is a masterpiece! (apart from the colour lol).

The theoretical maximum size of a GC memory card is 128MBit, or 16Mbytes.

That card has 2x 128Mbit chips in it, with a switch, so you effectively have double the maximum capacity (or 2 cards in one slot lol). This also should theoretically allow easy isolation of savegame regions, which I've heard is a problem when mixing savegames (the card may format).

256Mbit is like a gazillion blocks, great for the GC backup launcher if u have heaps of backups

    ахаха очень смешно.только я разработчик и мастер по ремонту ноутбуков. Я не фанат консолей, никогда их не ремонтировал, никогда на них не играл, и понятия не имею, о чем вы тут говорите. Я только что пришел, чтобы показать вам инструмент, который может упростить вашу работу по моддингу PS4 и PS5 BIOS.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Sorry, we don't speak that language here. :mellow:
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    Sorry, the translator worked where it wasn't needed ahaha)

    ahaha very funny. only I am a developer and a master in laptop repair. I am not a fan of consoles, never repaired them, never played on them, and have no idea what you are talking about here. I just came to show you a tool that can simplify your work on modding PS4 and PS5 BIOS.

    If you do not need any tools, and you want to continue laughing and perform these tasks on modding BIOS slowly - do as you want.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    I know that any thematic community can be very toxic to new people and will joke about them for any reason.
    But I am like that too, and I can joke too.

    Only I am from another field of activity, in which you do not understand absolutely anything, and there they will laugh at you if you come there for the first time.

    No offense, this is just a response to your jokes :)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Help me get past the rules, or else I blackmail the PS community, is what you are saying? Well no getting past the rules here. If you want to post links, you must have a certain number of posts first, it prevents spammers.

    I don't want to bypass your rules on purpose.
    But I don't have the time or desire to make 5 posts on a forum unknown to me just to publish a link to an open source project.
    If you don't need it, just say so.
    I don't need any bypassing of the rules, and I especially don't need jokes at my expense.
    I'll even delete my topic entirely if yo
    u're not interested.
