It's not really a bug, but a feature.
They switched to 1 memory card file per disc ID, instead of using a 1 limited 
space memory card for all the games.

You can use a memory card manager (on your computer) to transfer saves from 
beta1 Memcard1.mcd to <discID>.mcd, or rename Memcard1.mcd to slot2.mcd

What beta2.x needs is an option to choose between a global memory card or a 
discID filename.

Maybe this issue can be merged with issue101

I know there are ways round it, but really it should be as simple as newer 
versions remaining compatible with older saves.
