    You don't need a Japanese memory card...

    I have a US memory card with PAL, NTSC and Japanese game saves all on the same card. Works fine.

    Really? I've been told I need a Japanese memorycard. Huh. Well, if I did want to import one anyway, where would I get one?

    Lik-sang or Play-asia. I think there's another major one, but I can't remember what it is.

    Okay, thanks! I just don't want to take any chances. With my luch, something would go wrong or something. XD

    There's no difference between the Japanese and the American memory cards as far as hardware is concerned. The only time the games will format the memory card is if you do something stupid like pull it out while the game is loading or saving.

    So as long as I don't pull my memory card out while the game is running or saving, I should be able to save Japanese games AND American games on the SAME card? What about if the game is removed while the card is? My brother did that to get my attention a few times... I got mad. But, I CAN save games from different regions on the SAME card, is that right? I just want to make sure that I get this right.

    Yeah, that's what I've been saying...

    You know how games always have "Don't turn off the game console or remove memory card" messages? The same applies to any region. If you turn off the game console or remove the memory card while saving/loading, you risk corrupting the memory card.
