Metropolis street racer won't save (US)

Post by Nuglet_McJunior »

I try to create a single player game and when I try to save at the very beginning it sends me back with no games saved. I can save multiplayer but not single. The only way I can play is with continue without saving but i'd like to save ^_^. Anyway, my vmu works for all other games. I've heard of this problem before, but no working solutions! Can anyone help? Thanks

Have tried reformatting the VMU or using another VMU? I take it you are using an official VMU?

Unfortunately I only have 1 VMU, and yes, it is official. What do you mean reformatting?

you can delete all of the files and reformat the card. sometimes files get corrupted and you might want to reformat the card to restore memory blocks etc. you can reset the memory card by selecting all. this will reformat the card, but you will lose your saves. you could upload the saves if they are important to you, or you can buy a 2nd card.

Mmm...I know MSR had some bugs including one that caused vmus to corrupt, but can't remember anything about a save problem.

Well, a corrupted VMU will lead to saving issues ;)
