No you don't. I played FF7 on both the PS1 and PS2 and I don't have an official Sony memory card.

First go to the PS2 browser screen to see if it's even detected the memory card(sometimes dirt gets on the MC contacts and prevents it from being detected). If there's nothing there, just clean the contacts.

If it's something else, it sounds like the memory card's battery might've died.
 
A simple thing to overlook, do you have the needed amount of blocks freed? If you do, test another game and save to that card. If that game doesn't save aswell, its most likely like supermariomelee has said, either dead card or dirty contacts.
 
i was under the impression that psx / ps2 memory cards did not have batteries in them (like digital camera memory cards) and thus the saves would be there forever, unless the card was deleted or destroyed.....

All PS1 memory cards use batteries, even the sony brands(if you have a see-through one, you can see the battery). But Sony's PS2 memory card uses flash.
 
Do you have a slim ps2? Sony changed the design just enough to exclude some third-party cards, in order to give third party products a bad name (which seems to work, ask most people here about third party memory cards and you'll get horror stories, even though non-compressing memory cards are probably identical reliability wise).

icic....well, i knew something didn't use batteries....
 
[quote name='bluekeith75']Thanks to everyonr, I think it is dead, I tried another memory card and it worked fine.[/QUOTE]

Sucks to have a dead card no? Hope you didn't have any precious data on it. I'd die losing some of my RPG saves if that happened to me.
 
Not true! I restore retro games console and accessories. Original PS1 memory cards don't have batteries. Most memory cards that have batteries are made by third party manufacturers and with a cheap blob chip on it.
