Is my USB hub failing?

[Suko]

We're having weird issues with our 2P USB slot on our dedicab. It loads our cards fine, we can play through a set, and it seems to save the data. No problems, right? Well, not quite.

When we start the next set, we notice that 80% of the time, the 2P side won't show any of the high scores, screen shots, or calorie burn data we did on the last set. So it seems to not be saving the data to the 2P card properly before the game goes to the credits.

I've done a few tests using various cards, storage capacities, and brands, but it all comes down to the 2P side not saving the data fully, regardless of other factors. I'm somewhat leaning towards a dieing USB hub, but the fact that it mounts a USB card, and acts like everything is A-OK is odd.

Has anyone had this problem before, and if so, what should I do to fix it?

Yes I have the exact same problem with that cab I play on. The P2 USB doesn't save anything, and sometimes it just NoNames us. Attempting to take screenshots makes a "thunk" sound indicating no screenshot was taken. Let me know if you find a solution.

Our machine doesn't read as NoName or make the "thunk" noise when we try to save. In every respect it seems to work perfectly fine until you notice that the data from your last game is non-existent.

But if I find a solution, I'll be sure to post it here.

So it will still save screenshots but not high scores huh, our problems may not be so similar after all.

Have u tried rebooting the machine?

Sometimes the usb slots won't read ur card at all, so usually I just reboot it and it comes out fine.

It's a personal machine and is off until we play it. So, yes, it is rebooted often enough.

The port may have gotten corrupted (soda or some other foreign contaminant).

I would just replace the port.

i (we - im speaking for everyone) seem to be having this same issue at our location.

the right side card hardly ever displays calories burned..maybe every 3 or 4 games. alot of my scores aren't showing up for song i KNOW i have played. and just overall taking about 2 or 3 minutes to load my flash drive in the dance mode select screen
