did you put the game in while you had it powered up with no game in it?

it could've confused the system, and just been a small glitch.
usually putting a game in after you turn on the system is no problem,
but that could've caused it.

don't format it, try using games with the power off before you put them in,
test it out a bit see how it goes, then let us know.

Is it by any chance third party?  If so, well, there's your problem.  If not, then I'd say just bad luck.

if someone on the boards hasn't already told you, 3rd party memory cards have
had problems since the first appeared on the playstation 1.

the same problem you're having, was the same one way back then... they go corrupt and
lose all of your data.

(although memory cards even appeared before playstation 1, on the SNK Neo Geo system I don't
know if 3rd party memory cards were released for Neo Geo)

go out and get a memory card 251 for 20 bucks, watch out some stores will try to rip you off, charging $25-30 for it.
