PS2 Memory Card Reformat

[charlie_ps2]

There have been many unanswered posts putting the question "How do I reformat my PS2 Memory Card?".

After searching several forums, I finally got the answer on Isonews and successfully tried this procedure. You will need Datel Memory Manager Plus. The method does not work with GS2/AR2 v2.

To format your memory card, boot your PS2 with the Datel Memory Manager Plus CD. You will need to move over to the options (left arrow) menu and press all four shoulder buttons (L1, L2, R1, and R2) on your controller. This will prompt you to format your memory card and erase all data on that card.

Everything on the card is zapped. They can be put back there if you load DVD Region X or use the Utility Disk from the romote control device.

I found out this trick on GS2 (I'm using v2.21):

Enter on "Memory Manager" and press L1+L2+R1+R2+SQUARE

A new menu will show up asking about "Format Memory Card?"

Choose YES, and press X.

That's all.

I got a used memory card a while back and had to delete all the entries one by one. After I did that, my fingers hurt so much, that I didn't want to play a game!

Great info everyone.

I have a QA 1.3 Disc image confidential from Sony that allows you to access the contents of the memory card from Sony. It also has checks to see if all of your system fucntions are functioning normally. It has a feature ot low level format your memory card and unlock saves so you can copy them to other memory cards. Thats how i'm doing it.
