*-Gamecubes with US/Japanese switches installed on them count as this but using a freeloader/action replay disc on either doesn't. From what I could gather my EU Gamecube formatted a Japanese formatted memory card anyway when playing my first Japanese game on it.Įither way I've never mixed EU/US and Japanese saves on one card (due to having plenty of memory cards so no need) so I'd say back up the saves first, give it a try and see if anything bad happens. I think the whole "you need separate memory cards" thing is confusion from the fact you need it for hardware* due to Japanese firmware and US/EU firmware using different formats (and so can't read each other). Most games just used ASCII filenames so there were no saving problems but a few games (Donkey Konga 1-3, Mr.Driller) use Unicode filenames which mean every time a US or EU system plays them it will ask to format due to not being able to create file. One which supports unicode characters in filenames which the Japanese system uses and one which supports ASCII names which the US and EU systems use. From what I can gather Gamecube memory cards can be formatted in one of two file formats. I don't know what it is like nowerdays though but you might have to play a few tricks like the above.Īs for Mr.Driller, you're not going to be saving with that. Click to expand.In the old days of Gecko OS it would throw disc errors at specific locations in certain games.įor instance in Naruto GNT4 it would always disc read error after the title screen unless you eject the disc, wait for "please insert the disc" to appear on screen and reinsert.
