Memory Card using the GAMECUBE™. When I load the save directly from the

Memory Card. Why?

Q: The GAMECUBE won’t allow me to copy my game save from my normal
™
™
GAMECUBE Memory Card to the supplied GAMECUBE USB Memory Card, why
is this?
A: Unfortunately this is due to the game itself. Some games have protected game saves
that cannot be copied from one memory card to another. However, if you save the game
™
save directly onto the supplied GAMECUBE USB Memory Card from the game,
GAMESAVES For GAMECUBE will allow you to copy the game save to and from your PC.
