Anti FSOD - EP 1&2 GC version

[Anti Hacker]

OK, so heres a way i stumbled across to stop FSOD. Its worked for me every time i've used it and i think its only right i share it with the rest of you guys .

Things you will need:
2 GC controllers
A secondary character

OK, so, your ging into a lobby or down into a game or something and the screen frezes totally, FSOD! Dont worry, heres what you do... Turn off your GC, select single player offline or online game. Highlight the character you were just playing as and check for a message like "Game didnt save properly blah blah items have been lost". OK, dont go into a single player game if this message is there, instead, backout and go into offline multiplayer mode. When it said "Items have been lost" it wasn't actually telling the whole truth. what it actually meant was "items will be lost at the start or end of any singleplayer game (non splitscreen)".
When you start the Offline splitscreen, youre items are still all there (sometimes if you have multiple weapons or armour in your inventory NOT equipped, they will be lost... so just carry one of each with you from now on, no biggie eh?)
Drop trade all the items you want to keep to the other character, then, quit the game (sometimes i use FSOD as an excuse to clear out my bank of unwanted items, lol). Go onto a singleplayer or onlie gametype. Highlight your character. Sometimes if you are lucky, the "Items have been lost" message will be gone by now. If not, go on the game with that first character anyway. OMG! Shock horror! All my items are gone! Oh wait, no they're not i traded them. Quit the game. This has ALWAYS cleared the message for me. Trade back all the items you need for online play, and your away! (heck youve lost 20+ mins of your life doing all this but hey ).

Whats really amazing is that i can keep this all in my head. I don't know why the saving dosen't clear items on offline multiplayer, it just don't. I dont hear anyone complaining, so, there ya go, maybe I'll find some more cures soon.

Yeah cool, maybe i could make a thread for cures and someone could make it a sticky (hint hint). Well i just hope this helps every one. I havent really posted much before on any forums, so im not familiar with how u become a mod etc. If we cud spread the news to other forums like on PSO world (no advertisment intentional) then we could help more people. As a frequent victim of corruption and FSOD i just want to add a couple of things.

1.) If you use an official mem card (grey, nintendo, small, you know the one...) with Only PSO ep. 1&2 on it (possibly ep. 3 as well) the chance of a full corruption is dramatically reduced compared to 3rd party mem cards like 4gamers.

2.) If you get the screen when youre going into a game where youre almost up in the air in a kind of 1st person view with ships flying by, this is not FSOD (many people think it is). To solve it either wait quite a while and eventually you'll "beam down". If you cant be bothered like me press reset on th cube and it'll quit out and save your game (as opposed to actually resetting ).
This does not work on actual FSOD.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!
