aes memory card help!!

Hi guys, i dont know whats up but i just got a memory card today for my neo geo which i bought 2 months ago and it doesnt work. I dont know if its the console or my card. I bought the card as new old stock and i believe its reliable but i think its my console. When i put it to format it doesnt read my card is in the console. It says insert card and press a. Well i put the card in and press a but nothing happens. Why wont it read my card? Is it the console??

What kind of card?

Post a pic.

its the original memory card model the one before the marble design. I got one screen i just say now when i tried to format that the card is "write protected". Whats that supposed to mean, and i only got that by pushing and keeping the card in the slot..

alright another update...i think its formatted now and it saved my name...but this is when im holding the card in the slot and pushing up on it. The second i let go of the card it says insert card...Is this a figgity memory card or is my aes screwed up..?

alright i think it works now i clean the inside of the neo geo memory card slot and it reads my card now but umm...yeah how are you supposed to save:P. Im new to this neo geo business and i dont see any save screen pop up after i beat a level.

Hi,

Normally games detecting the memory cart, would ask you for saving or not when a game is finished.

When I recently received my Neo, I didn't manage to make my memory cart to work, but finally I found it was I didn't plug the memory cart until the end, so a little "click" could be heared.

Once done, it worked flawlessly.

yeah thanks for the info! i finally got that click sound as well and now it works. I just thought you could save inbetween levels but now i see you can only save once you run out of credit.
