Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
I lost 3 years of chao data like that. it was horrible! since than, I'v heard many rumurs on how to revive a crashed memory card, but I eventually found the answer. NEVER buy used memory cards

That happend to me once and all i did was restart the game cube and that worked for me. I just lost a day of work.
Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
Funnily enough, that didn't work for me whatsoever. I lost eight years of Chao work when my 1019 crapped out. You can imagine the horror, especially considering that I could move other files off of it and they'd work perfectly fine. It just couldn't read anything anymore.

"An NES"? Shouldn't it be A NES? Because An is only used when referring to a Vowel and some words like "hour". But after about 10 minutes of repeating "An NES" and "An NES". They sort of fit together.
Anyhow, When ever anything doesn't work, I always blow into the cartridge, it always works for me. But you don't have to blow it and put it back in. Mostly when I get this problem, I just take it out and put it in again.
Even though, who in the world came up with this idea? I learnt it off my brother who must've learnt it off someone else.

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
Oh man. This reminds me about the time I stuck my memory cards into my friend's Wii (The console you immature jerks )
It gave me the "You must re-format your memory cards" message.
I was sooooooo pissed. So to this day I have NEVER stuck my memory cards into a Wii again...Never sellin' mah GameCube

Since no one mentioned this, I thought I should.
If you take a piece of clean WHITE eraser you can remove all the dust and the rust (I'm not sure it's the right word...sorry for my bad English =_=). It's safer to do it that way then with cleaning product which can make things worst if you use too much. Also, never use a pink eraser if you don't want to break your memory card for good.

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
Yes. If you have a Gameboy Advance/Gamboy SP and a link cable, if you hook it up to the GC and put your chao in the transporter, click Drop off, then turn on the Gamboy Adavance/SP, you can drop off a clone your chao in the Tiny CHao garden. THen, if you have another chao file, you can drop the clone in that file, giving you two of that chao.Wait, What? You can Clone Chao?
I've done this a few times, with a shiny chao and my chaos chao.
Star chao are awesome.

Wait, can't you clone chao by just copying the chao data and go into the cloned garden, then move the cloned chao?

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
No, not really. If you copy the Chao data from the GameCube menu, it will copy not one Chao, but a large piece of the data. Not all of it, though, because there is more than one file thingy for Chao.
It's much easier with just Tiny Chao Garden.
...Unless you want to copy all of your Chao, which is possible. But that would erase the Chao on the other memory card, wouldn't it...?

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
my first memory card worked fine, until it just dropped a big one on me. Pokemon XD, Chao, and some other saves (not all of them) got the ERROR message. so i bought a used memory card, and it works fine (i had it for a while)
Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
Thanks that helps a looot. I actually left my gamecube on last night because of that.
I was super young when I used this forum and probably said weird or odd stuff. Dont hold me to it!
Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
I wish I had two, unfortunately I only have one so if that ever happens, I'm seriously out of luck.

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
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. )

Re: How to recover chao data if you recieve the error messag
never happened to me... but blowing on it sounds like after playing you shut it off and take out the card. i leave my card there and its been in forever. from my first game to the year i did not play. still there.

Actullay, I didn't know this. Not all of us are chao experts, you know.More Cowbell wrote:Is this really justified as a sticky? I do that all the time; I'm sure it is common knowledge.
So what do you mean, it only works for one box? And how do I copy all of my chao?
