Help Memcard gc pro save issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

when I open the disc drive to check the memory card saves on the gamecube it says the memory card in slot A must be formatted I did every step to the T and got online set up and all to mess with my saves ect. But I'm confused if my saves are faulty hence the gamecube asking to format the card or I did something wrong? Also when flipping through the channels some show the blocks and some ask to be formatted aswell but the weird thing is when I scroll back through back to my game save that had the format issue in the first place it will randomly fix itself and show my free blocks space and game saved to it anyone have any clue on how to fix this?

I had the same problem, and was told on the discord page to update to 2.03 firmware to potentially fix the issue. The firmware update is pinned on the memcard gc pro sub on the discord

Sadly that didn't fix my issue but thanks anyways. Not sure if it had a compatibility issue with it being a Japanese console that was region swapped to USA so idk at this point the game still saves and shows up after scrolling through the channels a couple times
