If a lot of save data says the year 2000, it’s probably because the internal clock battery has died and the previous owner didn’t set the clock to when they last played it.
@@TheChaoticWolfYep, if the orb on the main menu isn't moving it's because the clock battery is dead. If it's a fat ps2 I understand because replacing the battery in those SUCKS
Leisure suit Larry was easily the highlight of this video. It’s crazy that a game like that made it onto consoles, but then again, so did the GTA trilogy and Manhunt and Playboy: The Mansion…….and The Guy Game 😅
1:03, The game you’re talking about is NASCAR 2005 Chase For the Cup. Where in the Fight To the Top mode, you could be viewed as a hero or a villain throughout each season. It’s a very good and in-depth career mode. Honestly one of the best NASCAR Game career modes in my opinion.
I love watching these kinds of videos. I always wonder about the lives of the people behind these old game saves. In a somewhat related note, I still have a copy of my younger brother’s game save of WWE SvR 2007 and all our Create-a-Wrestlers from our childhood. I’ll never delete that file for as long as I live.
21:28 as someone who grew up with ratchet 1, I know EXACTLY why the person stopped at planet rilgar... god the PTSD of that flood section still haunts me
Between Ryan calling out "daddy", the way he dirty talked the memory card and smelled the game case, AND the inclusion of a Leisure Suit Larry game, this might be his horniest video to date!
I love videos like these!! I honestly enjoy snooping through my dad's own memory cards now and again and looking at the dates or even booting some games up to see how far he was in them, its super fun to imagine what was going on back then!
When I was very young I remember being stuck at planet Rilgar for a really long time. The gas tanks were fing me up and I thought I needed the Ryno to progress lol
@dapperfan44 opposite for me. I played it when I was a kid and I liked the combat. I remember liking the different elemental attacks, especially when I fully upgraded them all and did another playthrough on NG+. I think my love really comes from the ng+, since that was my first experience with one. I really liked the voice acting and that all enemies have unique names
Understandable. Definitely a huge departure from the previous games. If I hadn't still been a kid when it came out I probably would have hated it. @@dapperfan44
Man, wish someone would do this with n64 carts and gamecube memory cards, one of the coolest things about collecting is figuring out how much the old owners played the games
@@KenKaniff-dw4jw MGS and any kojima game are boring ass movie games, Zelda MM alone is already better than the entire ps1 library, star wars racer is a much better and entretaining racing game than gran turismo, spyro is a garbage clone of banjo kazooie. Funny how you saying nintendo was woke, look at sony now, lmfao, hope you enjoy your literal Gaystation, this is 4 the playas,
Mine could be considered embarrassing but I grew up with ps2. It was full of licensed ip games. Simpsons, guitar hero, Pixar games, and random racing games and a few random games given to me.
This year will mark the 25th anniversary of the PS2 is anyone planning on live-streaming the PS2 to celebrate if so I’d watch it, that & playing the games later this year
I have played a LOT of Larry when I was young (the original) so I was like 13 or something.. and it left me with little red ears. Funny thing is that just now I understood the reference when you read the title MagnaCumLaude out loud.. :-D .. My english wasnt that good back in the days.
10:45 that genuinely could be 2 of my cousins memory card. they really got me into gaming in the mid 2000's with all the games on that card. I highly doubt its theirs with how recent some of those save files are. but I'm just going to believe it is and be happy its in the hands of someone that will take care of them.
Cool video Ryan! Keep it up posting all of this great content and related to the old school consoles which were classics! I miss my PS2 slim alot with memory card!
I remember when I got a used PS2 a save file for THUG that had a skater created call Jeykell el gordo or Jeykell the fat one, I have never deleted that save
@@WalrusStu Ahh. That makes sense. I do kind of remember now, some insane combos that I only pulled off once to progress and then never used in actual combat.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with a lot of PS2 systems these days. I plan on change the clock battery on my childhood model soon, but I’m not looking forward to it considering CMOS is embedded so deep within the console.
I’m kind of surprised by the number of saves with under 10% progress. For me personally if I wasn’t into a game I’d trade it in. Most of my saves form that era had many, many hours of playtime 🤷🏻♂️
If we're talking about the same thing, I believe it was Nascar Thunder 2003 with a like ally/rival system. Played the hell out of it as a kid and don't care about cars or Nascar at all.
had a friend in highschool who use to love leisure suit larry. he 100% all the games,xxx bmx and doa extreme beach volley ball . had to go to his place and to sit and watch him play these games . funny thing is he still actually looks a bit like larry 😂
I sware I'm having a madelea effect right now because I remember in 2009 I owned Crash wrath of Cortex on ps2 and I don't remember it being on a blue disc. I even looked up images of greatest hits copies and now it just feels weird seeing it as a blue disc.
5:22 is it possible to have a system configuration file dated before the US release of the PS2? That date says May 23, 2000, yet the worldwide release started in October 2000.
This just tells you no one beat their games back then just like no one beats their games now based on trophy data. If your beating video games your are in the DRASTIC minority of gamers
Forgot they released Larry mcl on console as it was originally a pc point and click and I believe mcl on pc was fully uncensored naturally. If you want the worst one you gotta pick up box office bust on ps3, that one isn’t even so bad it’s good…
Those "corruptes files" are saves compressed by the game shark
You can "unzip" and use them normally
Oh I thought that unfortunate soul played soul calibur III like I did 😂
That was a thing? Wow. This system never runs out of ways to amaze me.
Wow. I never knew this
Would you need the gameshark to unzip it?
@@ZBatt1 yes
If a lot of save data says the year 2000, it’s probably because the internal clock battery has died and the previous owner didn’t set the clock to when they last played it.
He says that in the video
Same with my ps2. Played games in 2020 and it says 2000
agreed, magna cum laude wasn't even out in 2000
Seems like his battery needs to be replaced too
@@TheChaoticWolfYep, if the orb on the main menu isn't moving it's because the clock battery is dead. If it's a fat ps2 I understand because replacing the battery in those SUCKS
Pete's memory card was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
I hope he's living his best life.

Mystic cooming to the PS2 bootup is very relatable

Have you ever thought about saving those memory cards onto a computer? they will die eventually. so better safe than sorry.

Whether you drowned or made it through, we all suffered there. It was a rough planet on first run

39:35 There too 😂

Makes me feel sad when I see the dates on some of these saves. God damnit time just up and goes
I'm saying. It's very difficult to accept that 2005 was 20 years ago.
When I was very young I remember being stuck at planet Rilgar for a really long time. The gas tanks were fing me up and I thought I needed the Ryno to progress lol
I think this would be a cool series to do with Terell if he would be interested and had the time.
even if the contacts dont look dirty if an OEM card doesnt read 99% of the time cleaning the contacts will fix it.
The legend of Spyro a new beginning will always have a place in my heart.
I tried to like that game, but I hate the combat.

0:10 dead CMOS battery.
That Leisure Suit Larry game is unironically so good tho
Imma need that Leisure Suit Larry save file, sir
for research purpose i assume 😂
The amount of hours I put into Leisure Suit Larry MCL is wild
I'm not a rhythm action guy at all, but I loved Mad Maestro. I wish I still had it!
Man, wish someone would do this with n64 carts and gamecube memory cards, one of the coolest things about collecting is figuring out how much the old owners played the games
I'm pretty sure there are videos for the GameCube
N64 was a trash system. You cant name more than 10 decent games
@@KenKaniff-dw4jw lmao, ps1 was a shovelware machine, son.
Was MGS shovelware? Gran Turismo? N64 was for kids raised by feminist mothers and trans fathers.

I hope you wiped down that Larry game and memory card after seeing what the game is
at least he wasn't smelling that game case 😂
1:00 That would be NASCAR 2005 Chase for the Cup. I'm a Southeast Asian racing gamer and I enjoyed playing that game a lot.
I actually liked Spyro A New Beginning. It had a new vibe to it, a bit darker, but didn't go to far and had a nice fantasy charm to it.
These series are great - keep them going!!!
Mine could be considered embarrassing but I grew up with ps2. It was full of licensed ip games. Simpsons, guitar hero, Pixar games, and random racing games and a few random games given to me.
Solid lineup. Sounds like any average kid's on the PS2

You’ve done a few of these and I don’t ever remember seeing a single Socom save game. I thought the series was fairly popular.
Thats one raunchy episode of memory cards ZAMN
Can you believe 2020 is still super recent, but still that's 5 years ago now.
Covid
LSL prices spike after that segment 😝 Ryan's reactions are such gold HAHAHAHA
my absolute favorite series!!!! thank you for these memory card videos!
Always great to watch your videos Mystic Ryan, during my lunch
Can't believe every single game was an edge, *except* Larry.
I laughed so much with the Larry bit. Ryan really should make a Larry let's play!
The Leisure Suit Larry portion of the video was pure comedy 😄 now I want you to do a full playthrough of it
A memory card I found had a San Andreas save at the start of the game and the stats said they cheated over 300 times. Heh.
I wonder if one day you'll find a save of The Guy Game 😂
LMAO
They put some effort into that Mad Maestro save icon.
Radiata Stories is a freakin awesome and overlooked JRPG.
Was jazzed to see that when it came up!
I loved the old NASCAR games. Especially the ones that let you drive the wrong way 😂.
I didnt even know gta had a story while i was a child lol
I have played a LOT of Larry when I was young (the original) so I was like 13 or something.. and it left me with little red ears. Funny thing is that just now I understood the reference when you read the title MagnaCumLaude out loud.. :-D .. My english wasnt that good back in the days.
As a massive sly fan Im really sad that the dude didn't I myself 100% sly 2 100% all 4 of the sly games and a solid plat on all of them
24:50 He probably got stuck on the 1st boss level and gave up.
I still have all of my PS1 and PS2 memory cards.... I haven't looked at them in 20 years.
Mystic Larry: MCL lets play when
I have a stash of memory cards thru out years of being found in game cases and garage sales it feels awesome to see stacks of memory cards i collected
Mans got to replace his CMOS Battery in his console! The date will be set back to 2000 every time the console is unplugged!

The good old days when most saves took up a fraction of a MB and not 5-10MB per save.
Everyone who has played Spyro: A New Beginning knows EXACTLY why that save file was at the dojo.
It's been so long since I last played. Why the dojo?
@@mikey123456789012 The tutorials were insane, especially for like an 8 year old to comprehend.

Hey man your clock battery is dead, noticed the orbs on the PS2 menu weren't moving.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with a lot of PS2 systems these days. I plan on change the clock battery on my childhood model soon, but I’m not looking forward to it considering CMOS is embedded so deep within the console.
These things are like ancient archeological relics from off of Time Team or something.
I wonder where Ryan gets all these cards from.
Maybe he’s some expert burglar
Love these videos, i have 32MB action replay memory card, i'll have to send you photo my card at some point lol
Damn I really wanted to see those Ape Escape saves lmao
I’m kind of surprised by the number of saves with under 10% progress. For me personally if I wasn’t into a game I’d trade it in. Most of my saves form that era had many, many hours of playtime 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome! But also would like to see custom characters from MK Armageddon and Soulcalibur 3! And record photos from EyeToy.
I had never wanted to play a Leisure Suit Larry game before, but now I kind of want too lol
Another top notch video, Ryan! Thanks!
YOOOOO MY FAVORITE SERIES IS BACK
I had no idea there were save file variants of the gta games
Leisure suit Larry is crazy 😂😂
These memory cards take me way back. 😊
If we're talking about the same thing, I believe it was Nascar Thunder 2003 with a like ally/rival system. Played the hell out of it as a kid and don't care about cars or Nascar at all.
Speaking of gta lcs, it’s beta build recently got leaked
Crazy that GTA SA print is old enough to have the Vigilante mission glitch. You don't need to cheat at all

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Of course you have a Jak fridge magnet.
Hilarious to see you disappointed with some of the saves. You're like Reviewbrah but for PS2 saves.

man that intro sound really was nirvana-like
Those ps2 towers always do something for me
You like the icons so much but won't even try copy/delete to see if animates
If a game was published, someone has played it.
not so sure about concord
I recently got that game Leisure Suit Larry! How funny this coincidence the random game
I really wish they would bring the Musashi series back. The second one was kinda mid but that first one was pure awesomeness!
i play leisure suit larry on pc when i was a kid 😅
The carbon cube looks like a giant fish…
This just tells you no one beat their games back then just like no one beats their games now based on trophy data. If your beating video games your are in the DRASTIC minority of gamers
and its even worst if your a completionist or trophy hunter . ive had a few normal gamers fall on their asses when they saw my amount of platinums 😂

Forgot they released Larry mcl on console as it was originally a pc point and click and I believe mcl on pc was fully uncensored naturally. If you want the worst one you gotta pick up box office bust on ps3, that one isn’t even so bad it’s good…
Huh? Leisure Larry is def a really good game! its a must play
Someone selling a cursed memory card for final fantasy said not to play you should make a vid on it
That might be davids daddy😂
Man i love doing this to all the memory cards i buy 😂
13:32 “Who does Number 2 work for?” 🇬🇧
🇨🇵
Would be awesome if we got a new Leisure suit Larry game on the PS5.
The most recent game was on ps4 but since the voice actor for Larry passed away in 2022 I think it might be some time til another one comes out
Im really sad you didnt check out any of the armageddon save files it would be funny to see if there are any custom fighters
8:25 Need for Speed instinct kicked in
TBF the American version of Larry is censored, so it isn't even all that good. Get the PAL version of the optimal experience. (or play it on pc)
12:34 scooby Doo night of the 100 Frights is a Banger game you should play it.
