PS1 on the PS2 doubt

[The Whispered Secret]

I've been having trouble playing PS1 games on my PS2. I bought a PS1 memory card and all - but whenever I try opening my save files, a text box reading "The file is ruined" or something like that appears. Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know what it is?

Please help me crying

If you just can't load old files, they've probably been corrupted. If you can save onto the card and still not load those new files, I'd think it's the memory card itself, but I've never heard of that...

Hmm, I think it`s something from the memory card itself. Thanks =]

I've had that happen to me. Lately, the popular thing is not being able to read discs at all...

The longevity of the PS2 is its downfall.. crying

Yup. My PS1 won't read anything, I have a PS2 that won't read anything, and then there's my PS2 that only reads DVD format games (meaning no PS1 games).

The only problem I've ever had with memory cards (with the except of the couple that have been eaten by dogs) was one that kept randomly reformatting. THAT was annoying, and that was why it took me so long to beat IX.

Oh man, I've had that happen to me... Stupid memory cards... Totally reformatted itself, and I ended up losing tons of saves...

Like..all my Tekken...

Lots of others...

But...Argh. I dunno.
