On vice city one of my save game files wont work. I have 2, one i use for doin missions and dont cheat on that one. The other one i use to muck about using cheats and stuff. The other day i tryed to load up my game (the mission game file) and it said "loading game" then it said "game loaded" then...........black screen. I repeated this several times but still no luck.SO i started the game without any memory cards inserted and it loaded up. I put my card in and tryed to load up the one i had done loads of missions on but black screen again. I did this again and loaded up my other file where i did cheat and it worked fine.

Anybody know why this might of happend?
It doesnt really matter now because i have got past where i was anyway but i want to know so maybe i can stop it happening again. Any ideas anybody?

There are a lot of rumours and panic about this circiling the internet. Your problem is the use of cheats. If you use a cheat (Weapons, armour, health and wanted level SHOULD be fine) and then reset the console, there is a good chance your save will become corrupt. There is a chance that this will affect any of your saves, not just the one you use for cheating. After using cheats, always (I repeat ALWAYS) turn off the console and then reload your game. Never under any circumstance should you save your game after using cheats. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

P.S. I've never heard about the Mr. Whoopee hideout bug, and I doubt it's true, but if you're sure...

The only place I have problems with saves is at Cherry popper and Hyman Condo. The coding for Hyman is a totally mess.
