Gamecube memory card being corrupted

I have a 1019 official Nintendo gamecube memory card. It never had problems on my cube. When i started using it on my wii, it got corrupted after a while. I bought a couple super cheap third party 4mb memory cards and copied the data to them and both got corrupted as well after a while. The wii can't even read them the game says "There is no memory card in slot A." IDR if the first time it happened was before or after I downloaded homebrew and started playing PM, but it definitely re corrupted afterwards after going through a period of working again. Recently i reformatted my wii and it's memory and my 1019 started working again (but not the 3rd party memory cards that I bought, both of those were still unable to be read by the wii). But when i re-downloaded homebrew to play project M (my only SD card is 8GB) the 1019 worked normally at first but got corrupted again after a couple uses. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this is a common problem because I've heard the 1019 can have problems with corruption years down the line like mine but i've also read that that's it's a myth that the Wii corrupts them. Is this related to the 1019 itself, and if so should I get a new memory card such as the 251 which apparently doesn't have the same problems? Or is my memory card fine and homebrew is the problem and I therefore should just get a smaller SD card and download the hackless form of PM? If I HAD to choose between melee and PM i would pick Melee but I'd like to be able to play both if the hardware permits. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

OldmanK.

The only thing that comes to mind is that somehow you're installing cIOS's on your Wii wrong and that's causing the malfunctions, or that your memory card has a physical issue
