So this just happened recently but when I'm in a PS2 game (played on PS3) it doesn't recognize any memory card. When I'm in the XMB, however, I can see all my PS2 saves. Anyone have this happen to them? Should I back them all up to a USB stick, delete the memory card, make a new one, and restore?

Assign slots.

You should assign it to slot 1.

I tried assigning the slots. It always worked before though, so I don't know what caused it not to.

Okay this is weird. It seems the problem is only with GTA games. (Vice City and San Andreas) Persona4 just worked fine.

hmm... save them to a flash drive, then delete the saves on your PS3. Put them back on... different virtual memory card maybe. if still an issue, do the same thing but throw a quick or full reformat in the middle. if still an issue, then I think you're SOL

I had this happen once when I first got my PS3. Somehow the virtual memory card got corrupted and I lost all PS2 saves. Once I fixed the problem, I made sure to start backing up all saves to a memory stick. I was pretty angry at the time because I lost an FFXII save with 50+ hours on it.

I'm sure there are ps3 saves for gta all over the internet.

Try making a new virtual memory card and copying your saves over to that one. I had a problem where some of the slots on my virtual memory cards were 'corrupted' and sometimes saves just wouldn't load.
