the memory card in slot A is damaged - karstinpk - 05-19-2010
I just got dolphin 2.0 and the first game i play is pikim 2 for gamecube, i play that for about 2 hours and i save the game and go on to play super smash bros brawl for WII and the game saves fine. then i go back to play pikmin 2 and the game says, "the memory card in slot A is damaged and cannot be used." and i can choose to play without saving... is there anyway to fix this so i can go back to playing normally from where i left off?

Unfortunately I can't think of any fix for corrupted Memory Cards other than reverting back to an older card.
Ever since I was having problems with mine again, I keep regular backups of the most recent MC file working properly, in case corruption occurs again.

try memorycard manager>browse for memory card> fix checksums
backup memorycard first.

9 out of 10 times that never worked for me. Maybe it's bad luck, but I don't think it does any good when games state the card is corrupted or not formatted.

would creating a memory card B work? and i could just save to that from now on? if so how would i make a memory card B?

Config->Gamecube, set Slot 2 to Memcard B

ah awesome i got it to work again, i took my pikmin 2 save out of the memory card and just placed it on my desktop then i took everything out of my GC folder. i started pikmin 2 it asked me if i wanted to format memory card A i said yes then when that was done i didn't play the game i exited and imported the pikmin 2 save that was on my desktop into the new memory card. I got my pikmin game saves back
