Contents • • • • • • • • • Introduction: what are memcards? Memory cards are an electronic flash memory data storage device used for storing digital information. The standard Playstation 2 memory card has an 8 MB capacity and uses Sony's MagicGate encryption, which is a copy-protection technology introduced by Sony in 1999 as part of the Secure Digital Music Initiative ( SDMI) which works by encrypting the content on the device and using MagicGate chips in both the storage device and the reader to enforce control over how files are copied. The PCSX2 emulator stores memory card information in the memcards subfolder of your PCSX2 configuration folder. Following the PS2's 2-card format the emulator names both memcards Mcd001.ps2 and Mcd002.ps2, which use the emulator's native.ps2 file format. Similarly these files are also around 8 MB in size just like the physical Sony PS2 memory cards.

To confirm that these.ps2 files are being used by the emulator, start it and select 'Memory cards' from the Config menu option. The configuration window which then appears will display the current memcards in use, their actual file locations, etc. Memcards are separate and distinct from emulator.

They are an emulated PS2 function, not a native emulator function. Usage Currently most PS2 memcard functions are emulated and considered usable. Browsing To view the contents of your memory cards, start the PCSX2 emulator and select 'No disc' from the CDVD menu option, then boot the emulator. After the short animation select 'browser' and you will be able to view, copy, and delete saves from the two memory cards.

Backups It is a good idea to keep current backups of your memcards. All you need to do is simply copy the.ps2 files in the memcards folder then move the copy to a folder in your archive. This way you can create as many archive folders as you want, for example renamed per game so that you can keep your game disc ISOs together with the memcard containing their saves for easy future access. Since memcard files are just like any other file, you can quickly create a fresh empty memcard simply by copying a memcard and storing the copy somewhere safe, then deleting all the saves from the memcard.

Utilities Occasionally you may come across other sources of memcard information not your own, for example memcard saves obtained from popular gaming-related websites like. Currently as of version 0.9.7 build r3878 there are no memcard plugins or converters so you will need a 3rd-party utility in order to import memcard saves.

MyMC myMC is a popular memcard utility that allows you to import various file formats such as PS3 Virtual Memory Card saves, CodeBreaker saves, Max Drive saves, Action Replay saves, etc (there is not a known list or documentation for myMC so if you have access to this information please feel free to add it here - however, myMC does support the most common ones you'll encounter). You can download myMC from or and extract the files from the archive to a folder (no installation necessary). To use it, run the mymc-gui.exe executable.

By default it will automatically prompt you to select a memcard file so point it at one of your.ps2 memcards, or you can do this later by selecting 'Open' to choose another memcard. Importing saves using myMC Once you have a memcard opened, to import save information simply click on the import button and navigate to where the save is.

If the format is supported the file will be visible for selection, so all you need to do is select it and it will be imported into the memcard you opened. Yes, it's as easy as that.
