Interact Massive Memory Card 1440-Jewel Case

I thaught that the 2 cards I baught would work for a certain game I have, but these dont have a large enough memory. The only reason I got them was cause of bigger memory. Big let down. Only one card will let me save.Save yer money for a different product.

Finally decided to give it a try and the piece of junk is broken and I waited too long for a return of course. From what I understand these cards are notorious for breaking so be careful when purchasing. I was told that it was tested that's why I decided to go through with the purchase anyway.

Works great in a PS1. Wouldn't read in a PS2.

Okay, I'm online looking for a new playstation memory card because I've had this one since I started playing RPGs (and that was a few years ago). It sucks. That is all I can say. You restart your game and it will just turn the page on you. It shouldn't take a whole lot of complicated button pushing in order to find your saved data. I've lost countless games this way. I don't know WHY I haven't gotten anything new up till now. I guess I'm just hoping one day it'll start working properly, besides the fact that I haven't been playing many PS One games lately. Anyway, I'm online today looking for a new memory card because I felt the need to dust off my FFVII game and take it out for a replay. Well, I'd learned with this card that you have to save more than one copy of the same game data cuz it can be gone in an instant. I had only two copies because the card insisted there was no more space even though I can scroll down and see about 10 open. So, I turn on my playstation this afternoon and one of my files is completely gone like it was never there. The other gives me a "file ruined" message. Do not buy this worthless piece of crap. My dad got it for my sister and me because it was cheap and the large amount of space was appealing. That's its only upside.

As with any product, no matter who made it or how much you spent on it, there is some possibility that you will get a good example, and some possibility that you will get a lemon. I have two InterAct memory cards (one is this model, the other is a special edition Lara Croft 15 slot card,) both of which I have had for over 8 years and both still work perfectly fine. I can't say for sure that they won't give out eventually, but that is true for all antiquated electronics.Mine has only been used on SCPH-7001 and SCPH-7501 systems, and never in a PS2. I have never had any data loss or corruption with it. One game (Final Fantasy VIII) refuses to save on it at all, but I have copied FF8 saves from a standard card onto the 1440 for storage and then copied them back for play and they worked just fine.My biggest complaint is the lack of any documentation regarding how to change pages. There was an older model of this card with a round LED window rather than the tear-drop shaped one, and it had two buttons on top for changing pages. In the interest of cost reduction, InterAct got rid of the physical buttons and programmed the card to change pages using a button combination on the controller. (As far as I have been able to tell, the only time you can change pages is in the system OS console while no game is running.) However, when InterAct made this change, they did not make any indication on the packaging, which still says that there should be physical buttons on the card itself. It took me a long time to figure out how to actually change pages.Anyway, my experience has been generally positive but, as always, any PSX hardware that isn't Sony OEM has a very poor reputation for quality and reliability, so your mileage my vary. As to the actual usefulness of the product, if you really need that much storage space, it may serve you better to just get a DexDrive and copy all your saved data to your PC.

I know this is a fairly old product, but I hope this review can be of some help. I remember this card has caused me a deal of frustration in the past, so here is what I have learned from my experiences:Changing Pages -1) From the system menu (turn on console with no game inserted), access the memory card data page.2) Hold L, R, and then Start, all at the same time, until the green dot begins flashing.3) Release L and R (continue holding Start), and you should be able to flip through the pages now using the L and R buttons (hold the button also for continuous flipping).4) Once you have selected the page you want, release all the buttons, and the card will display some lengthy count-down procedure (compression-decompression?). Once it finishes processing, though, you should be on the correct page.~) If the button combination doesn't seem to be working, try it again. I think thereare even some in-game screens you can find where page-switching is allowed.Now, to avoid having my files erased, I have always done the following:*Insert the card AFTER turning on the system, and*Remove the card BEFORE turning off the system.I'm not sure exactly how significant it is to do this, but it's a good precaution.There is one problem with the card spontaneously switching to Page 1, and, in effect, overwriting Page 1 with whatever data had been on the page it was previously on. So, to solve this problem,*DO NOT SAVE YOUR DATA ON PAGE 1!Blocks on this page will most surely be overwritten at some point. You should also check that the card is still on the correct page when you start playing... to avoid writing important information onto Page 1.The good news is that this switch does not occur during gameplay, but rather sometime during inserting/removal of the card (so disasters are quite avoidable).Maybe this will help a little. It's not really a very friendly device, but it is completely usable. I never had any problems once I figured out the correct way to work with it.
