    So for gamecube, I know you need a seperate memory card for different regions, or else you have to wipe the memory card. Ex: I have a memory card for my North American Console and a memory card for my Japanese console. You cant interchange them without wiping the data.

    Can I use a north American gamecube memory card on a north American nr reader without wiping data? I would try but I don't want to lose all my data, especially because I still play my gamecube games a lot.

    I'll end up buying more memory cards and testing it if I need to, just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head.

    It works fine.

    Still a good idea to get another memory card. The game may have a bug that wipes your card anyway.

    Thanks! I just got a 3rd party memory card that I'm not using for anything right now. I've had shit luck with 3rd party mem cards lately but it should hopefully be fine for just screwing around for now

    So this is interesting. I have a memory card with only North American NTSC Gamecube save files on it. I turned on my RVT-R and loaded the European menu, and played 2 PAL NR discs I own. Both of them saved to the memory card without me needing to format it. It appears that I have 3 retail (but hacked w/gameshark I suspect) North American Save files, one NR North American save file, and 2 European PAL save files all happily sitting on one memory card. I thought "Hmm, maybe this is a Wii thing." But when I popped in my Japanese formatted memory card, it brought up the message asking if I want to format it. I have yet to pop this back into my North American retail gamecube yet. This is weird and goes against everything I thought I knew about Gamecube.

    Edit: nevermind, scratch all that. Turns out Pal and NTSC-U are allowed in the same memory card. Didnt know that
