It must be a problem with the disc itself, or the memory card that you are using is corrupted. There isn't really an actual way to fix it. Try cleaning the disc with rubbing alcohol and try again. If the game still won't save, then you might have to buy a new copy.

If you want cheats for Final Fantasy crystal chronicles, go to http://us.codejunkies.com and order the action replay for the GCN (Nintendo Gamecube). I prefer going to the top right corner and pushing the button (it says Saves, Codes) and checking the codes (You could see all the game saves or codes for all the different stations that they have, or request a certain code or save that the action replay doesn't have already preloaded into the action replay)to make sure that it is worth it to buy the action replays. It helps me alot with my games, so hopefully it will help you with yours.(P.S. I don't know how to put new codes or games into the action replay for the gamecube, but it already comes with alot of preloaded codes and games.)
