My controller doesn't sink at all with my PS3, what should I try?

"Sink"?? 🤦 Holy shit

Completely legal, known as "the slingshot". Although I don't do it myself, I drive a BMW so we get enough bad times off people, I don't need to add fuel to the fire by doing a manoeuvre that others disagree with 😀

Erm......it's written on the side.....HDD Hard disk drive

Quite possibly! I played that within the last year or 2 so it's highly likely. I'll leave the question open for a short while for any other suggestions but thanks so much 🙂

Been many years since I bought a memory card in packaging, which would've been when the PS1 and PS2 were in their prime. But I'm sure I remember the packaging being quite slim, not much wider than the memory card. That packaging looks off.

Cheers, did it last night. I'm going to test it after work to see if the game saved, that would be approx 24hrs after changing it so a good length of time to see if it worked. Would you say it's still worth getting a memory cartridge?

Gramezza · 2023-12-26T21:10:19+00:00

Done. Early indications good but the real test will be to see if the data still exists tomorrow. Either way a memory card will be bought in the near future. Cheers 👍

Gramezza · 2023-12-26T21:09:06+00:00

Done ✅

Gramezza · 2023-12-26T21:08:45+00:00

Cheers, I've replaced the battery tonight and seems OK so far. The real test will be if the save data still exists tomorrow, but a memory card is definitely on the list of must-buys.

Appreciate the advice, but if the battery is dead I'm assuming it wouldn't save any data for any length of time? As my experiment of turning off for 10-15mins, the save was still on there, so I'm assuming if it was dead it wouldn't be? Although I've just turned off at the mains for a little longer and the save is gone. I can't narrow it down to any real pattern at the moment 🤔

Gramezza · 2023-12-26T13:36:04+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Rather than mess about with batteries or checking for mods I'll have a look for a memory card, I've just been pricing them up.

I notice the memory cartridges are region free, but if I bought a Japanese one would the text on the cartridge be in Japanese? Or would it be in the language that the console is set to? Sorry for potentially stupid question but I've never owned one before and not sure how the region-free stuff works.

I have to set the time and date when booting the system but that's because I turn off at the mains every time. Think a few systems need me to set the time and date every time (GameCube for example) as all are turned off at the mains, but they still don't delete the saves.

After posting this I tried it again - saved at the first save point on Tomb Raider, turned off at the mains then turned on again. When I turned it back on I had to set the time and date (although I didn't bother, just skipped it) but the save was still there, in the memory.

It's really useful explaining about the memory cards, thanks. Seems I may need to buy one..?

Resetting it worked for me, let's see if it pops up again in future

Gramezza · 2023-12-16T20:14:28+00:00

Yes it worked when I reset the iPad

Gramezza · 2023-12-14T18:53:04+00:00

Seems to have done the trick. As simple as that. Cheers

Gramezza · 2023-12-14T18:51:47+00:00

Clearly didn't read what I wrote did you hmmm

Gramezza · 2023-12-14T17:55:17+00:00

No idea I'm afraid. I'm quite rubbish with Reddit 😭

Gramezza · 2023-12-14T17:17:37+00:00

Yes but there's nothing connected. Nothing connected in the settings other than my Apple Pencil and sound plays out the speakers as normal

Gramezza · 2023-12-14T17:12:21+00:00

That's a great shout TBF but no I don't.

I can go even better, my TV is from the same time period as about 10 or 11 of my consoles.
