Besides backing up the game save I also wanted to load in onto my brothers' mem card. I thought I could just copy it over periodically so that they could have everything unlocked that I do.

I can understand it for those games 'cause it would allow you to duplicate items, but for F-Zero it doesnt make much sence to me.

But you can copy Garage data over, so just register the car in the garage and you could copy it to another system.

QuoteThink about it, nemo. You shouldn't be able to do that. On Eternal Darkness there is enough room for something like 5 game saves. If you had two separate game files on one memory card that would lead to confusion in the game: "which file of 5 game saves to load?", etc. It makes much more sense than you are giving it credit for. That's why SK gave us enough room for more than one save file on one memory card.
I tried combining my Eternal Darkness saves. Wouldn't work. I had half way beaten the game on one card and had beaten it one and a half times on the other one and wanted to combine them so I could get the uber ending. Why even put two slots on the console if you won't let us use them for what they are for Nintendo? I can't even copy them to the other card so that I can have them both on one card let alone on one card and combined.

1. Turn on F-Zero.
2. Insert your second memory card ( the one you want the copied data on ) in the GameCube.
3. Save a file on the memory card ( the second one ).
4. Turn GCN off and insert your first memory card ( the one with all the info ) in.
5. Turn F-Zero back on, load that card, and take it out of the GCN slot.
6. Insert the second memory card and try to save.
Did it work?

If you try to save onto a different card it will say there is no memory card, or the memory card has been switched blah blah blah. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
According to this (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM#Protected_Savegames) page the game checks the randomly generated 'serial number' the memory card is given every time it's formatted. So to copy the save file to another memory card you must either change serial number that is saved in the save file, or the serial number of the memory card so that they match. If the save is also encrypted one would have to decrypt it before doing any changes to it, and then encrypt it again.
If someone has a complete save file and can check their serial number I'm happy to see if I can be able to copy that save file to my memory card. (So I don't have to unlock everything myself). I could probably modify the GCMM source code (http://code.google.com/p/gcmm/source/list) to read the memory card serial number.
