Hello everyone! I was wondering what advice people have in acquiring PS2 memory cards. I recently acquired a PS2 slim for my birthday, and frankly my only experience with memory card based consoles is a backwards compatible Wii (where I have a memory card + virtual memory cards on the SD / backups of the memory card)

What is the safest route (in terms of longevity / corruption) to go (with or without homebrew).

Thank you for your feedback, looking forward to trying some classics I missed out when I was younger :)

The PS2's memory cards really felt like the future to me because they had SO MUCH space.

Of course, on-console storage was the ACTUAL future, which proves yet again that the 3DO was ahead of its time. But anyway...

The PS2 memory cards had so much space that I think I only ever needed two for me and my brother. Probably didn't even need to delete any saves. We had tons of PS1 and DC memory cards, because they'd get full so quickly
