1. What file system formats does MemCard PRO support? 

MemCard PRO only supports a simple MBR partition 
scheme with a FAT32 or exFat volume. Please use the 
official SD Card Formatter software for maximum 
compatibility 

2. Can MemCard PRO work without an SD card? 

MemCard PRO will not work without a microSD card 
plugged in. 

3. What consoles does MemCard PRO support? 

MemCard PRO has only been tested with the original Sony 
PlayStation, Sony PSone and PlayStation 2 Consoles. 
PlayStation 2 Slim consoles and the PS3 Adapters do not 
work with MemCard PRO without modifications to these 
consoles. 

4. What VMC card formats does MemCard PRO generate / 

support? 

MemCard PRO can only create and use raw Memory Card 
images. The file extension used is “.mcd” and the files have 
no extra headers. Any header-less memory card image can 
be used with MemCard PRO, as long as it is properly 
named and has the .mcd extension. 

5. Can I use my MemCard PRO saves with an emulator / 

Can I use my emulator saves with MemCard PRO? 

Yes! Both use cases are possible as long as the files used 
have no extra headers. An easy way to check if your 
memory card file will work with MemCard PRO is to check 
its actual size. The file should be exactly 131,072 bytes 
long. 

6. The Gamepad combos are not working! 

MemCard PRO can only detect gamepads button presses 
from the controller connected to the same port as the card. 
I.e. if you’ve plugged your MemCard PRO to Slot 1, the 
controller should be plugged in to Slot 1 as well for 
MemCard PRO to detect the button presses. 

7. I have connected MemCard PRO to my local wireless 

network, but I can’t open the WebUI page! 

A few different causes can lead to this, with the most 
common being that the remote device is not on the same 
subnet as MemCard PRO. You should connected to the 
same network as MemCard PRO in order to access its 
WebUI. Another reason is that MemCard PRO was 
unsuccessful connecting to your wireless network. You can 
try moving the console and MemCard PRO closer to your 
router if that’s the case. If you don’t see an IP address on 
MemCard PRO when holding the left physical button, then 
the card could not connect to the WiFi. If that’s the case, 
MemCard PRO will default back to an Access Point after the 
next power cycle, and you can attempt the WiFi setup 
again.
