Memory card damage

[HypnoSpeaker]

Hey. I'm trying to play super monkey ball, but whenever I launch the game I get a message that says, "the file on the memory card has been damaged." I don't know why this is showing up. Do i need a GameCube SD card in order to run the game? If not, what can I do to fix it?

Were you using save states?

OH! I found them XD thanks

No, savestates could realistically cause that error and will probably glitch out the game eventually.
If this is your first game you need to format the memory card. Follow the game's instructions to do so.

It doesn't have instructions

You can find instructions online. E.g., the entire manual can be found here.

I believe you can reformat the memory card through the GC BIOS, but a better way would be to just make a new memory card file in Dolphin (making a copy of the old one so you don't lose any other saves).
