Other than answering amp2006's question, I'll like to know what you did to corrupt the MC.

EDIT: Oh, you already did.

Did you pull it out/switch off your console when data was being written?

If it can't be read in even uLE, there's a good chance that the filesystem of the MC was already corrupted/damaged, and the only real way to ensure that it works properly again is to format the card.

As for VMC, I think that you can set OPL to use the "generic" VMC for your games, and it'll save data to the same VMC.

Maybe http://psx-scene.com/forums/f19/rele...-v2-0-a-65652/ (Release: MC Annihilator v2.0) will help, not sure.

It couldn't backup your MC to a image?, even it's currupt data it may be able to backup it for you to be able explore the image on your pc and extract the relevant data you want.

Even if he only 'partially formatted' or when he 'unformat' the MC, the files stay pretty much unrecoverable.

Why? Because they are fragmented!
