Anyone have any GT1 superstitions?

[Monaro]

I don't know if you could call it a superstition, but whenever I saved the game I'd press the "ok" button (from the Game Saved Sucessfully screen) before turning off my playstation.

Always

Yeah, me too. Just to make sure it's really saved.

...and welcome to GTPlanet!

Yeah i do that in gt2. It felt weird once when i didnt do it, but it did save ok...luckily

i do it all the time in gt2 as well, after a hard race or a good paying race I would save it and I always press exit just to make sure

Same here. Ever since the "diskcopy" command in DOS...it's not saved until you're absolutely sure you've checked it!

Another bit of advice people have told me is to remove the mem card after saving but before shutting down the PSX. Supposedly, this removes then chance of a shock through the ROM chip in the mem card...but I think that only applies to multi-page cards with batteries.

What does DOS have to do with a Playstation?

I can relate! Sometimes I'd even go back and and reload just to make sure. I knew that if it didn't save properly it would be gone after I re-loaded anyway, but I still did it.

It can depend on the length of the race but maybe U just don't want to be distracted whilst racing?
