Yeah, anyone got one? I bought one years ago and love it as it does give you four pages worth of PS memory card. However, about 2 years ago it just decided it never wanted to switch pages again, and that sucked as I lost me lots of PS data. So, what I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if they've managed to rectify the problem or I just have to deal with it being a one page card.

In an amusing anecdote, I had bought single-pager prior to and it went through the laundry, and no my friends, not once, but twice. And it still worked... Mostly... Until it corrupted my first FFVII file which prompted the purchase of the above card. I also sent a PS2 card through the laundry, but it did not stand up to the punishment and thus became a piece of plastic and computer PCB. Awesome.

At any rate, if anyone could help me restore the 8Mega or at least tell me how there may be a way of retrieving the data and putting it on another card, that'd be stellar. Thanks!

I have one, sure. I think the last time I used it was in 2005, though, to copy all the files with my dexdrive over to my PC so I could use them there. I think what happened to you did once happen to me, but eventually it started working again and I don't recall doing anything to fix it. :\

Shucks howdy...

What be this dexdrive business? Perhaps I can at least salvage that stuff and play them on my PC, and play the rest on PS2 or PS?

Best of luck, they were a bit hard to come by even when the PSX was still current gen.
