I still own my AirLabs 24X memory cards, which have a display showing which of the 24 memory cards you are currently using. I have no idea how people survived with only one or two regular memory cards back then.
As a kid with a small allowance I had no choice but to delete save files of games I expected not to play anymore. Easy to do if you didn't know any better :)
@@ongakuwotabeta they can be a bit finicky sometimes, refusing to load a specific card slot, which is how they always behaved. Other than that they work perfectly fine still to this day and I don't think they were expensive at all.
I was around when it was brand new and current, but I didn't know the ps1/ps2 memory card split existed until last week. I feel completely spoiled by the idea I can put a micro SD card I happen to have around like 4 GB and have a crazy amount of storage, back up via wifi to my pc and cloud storage, labels popping up telling me what I'm playing...well made hardware and software like this are a miracle to me. Once I mod my ps2 with a hard drive, it's endgame and I just dug my system out of the basement after decades in retirement. My old memory cards no longer work which is expected, but over two decades later this is an appropriate update.
Awesome product, already got mine! But I think it should be mentioned that the quality of the plastic shell is really cheap. It's slightly warped and has sharp edges that don't close in line very well, which I find kinda sad for the price - regardless of it's amazing and currently one of a kind features.
I knew you didn't NEED one for each game, but some games that I really really loved on the PS1 I just decided deserved their own memory cards. It made it easier too, used a label maker, slapped that one title on it. Figured out a way to store each jewel case with their memory card.
That's exactly what I did too with the label maker! I'm pretty sure that I quickly figured out that you didn't need one per game, but that was probably after I already had three or four of them haha!
So I never knew that in crash bandicoot ps1 you just needed to have oogla oogla to just walk over those boxes at the end of level 1 and I was always jumping them without oogla falling to my death. Thanks to you Ik now how to do it easier . 😅 you got a sub & like for that .
I'm always happy to teach people new Crash Bandicoot tricks! I also love that you call him Oogla Oogla 😅 I've never heard that before! Thanks for the like and sub!
One video dude says 8mb at time? Or can you set bigger memory card sizes? I may just buy another card if it's just 8mb at time. Got the max 64mb one long time ago. also got a 128mb one but it doesn't work very good.
There's some good and bad advantages to this, the good is that you're saving a lot of space, the bad is there some games cannot actually be moved from one memory card to another I know I tried that you would have to repast some games in order to save it
hi would that work if i have my pc still connected to my home wifi because i am just wondering because i want to get the GCN version of the Memcard pro
This isn't true, you can't save PS1 data to a PS2 memory card even when you're using a PS2. I actually just double checked it just to be absolutely certain!
@@RetroDodo I'm probably having a Mandela moment then. I'm sure I remember having PS1 saved data on my PS2 memory card somehow back then. Could it be that I can freely transfer over PS1 data via the on system memory card management? Maybe that's how they got on there?
I don't even think it's possible to transfer it via the PS2 browser either 😅 maybe if you have some kind of weird third party memory card it might have been possible somehow, but with official hardware I'm almost certain that it's not possible.
Would be cool if they added support to PS1's version of VMU, Playstation Pocket.

Apologies, we weren't all privileged like you. 😂
Kinda surprised it didn’t die considering the reputation those kinds of cards have

Very interesting! Never knew there was something like this that even existed. Thankyou Rob!

The way you connect to and interact with this card seems VERY similar to the now defunct PocketSprite

Got the max 64mb one long time ago. also got a 128mb one but it doesn't work very good.
You can set bigger sizes through the WebUI, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because the official 8MB cards were by far the most compatible.
@@RetroDodocan you set a couple more then the rest 8mb? in the mix of sizes.

What games can't be transferred between memory cards? I've never encountered that before!
@@RetroDodo mortal Kombat deception, Shaolin monks,Armageddon
Huh, that's really interesting! I just figured that all PS2 save data would be transferable. I've learned something new today!
You can save ps1 games 1mg white card for £1 or psx sd card for 10er 8000 cards
I still have a few on my playstation, and wii from my old gamecube games, although some of them got wiped for some reason.
The larger sized gamecube memory cards are flakey.
There is however a memcardProGC
Yo bossman, Does this allow you to play ps1 games on ps2 slim consoles?
They are nice but seem to be hard to find they sell out fast
hi would that work if i have my pc still connected to my home wifi because i am just wondering because i want to get the GCN version of the Memcard pro
Such a cool thing if only this and the GameCube one are sold out and on back order everywhere.
I believe there were a few games on PS1 that used an entire memory card.
Yeah that's true! Most of the time that was for saving extra stuff though like replays in Gran Turismo or photos in Metal Gear Solid.
PS1 game saves can actually be saved to a PS2 memory card (via PS2 console), but PS2 saves can't be used on a PS1 memory card.

Ive accumulated a good amouny of memory cards of the years, but this is still interesting!
Êxcellent review. Thanks for that.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Damn, I can’t wait to consolidate ALL of my ps2 cards all into one….. gotta love science.
can it used to load games from it ?
I have the same question unanswered. Replying for the thread.
I wish it had more than 2 colors available 😢
I know! I would want a grey PS1 variant for sure!
