The

 

MemCard PRO2 

requires a formatted microSD card in 

order to work. Any microSD card rated Class 4 and above will 
work, from 1GB to 2TB. Each gigabyte of storage space 
amounts to approximately 128 8MB VMCs for the PS2 or 8192 
VMCs for the PS1. On the PS2, you can also configure the 
default size of your VMCs with all options available up to 
128MB**. 

To prepare your microSD card, you will need a computer and a 
microSD card reader (or a full size SD card reader with a 
microSD to SD card adapter). 

Download the official “SD Card Formatter” software from the 
SD Card Association: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/
formatter/
 

Run the formatter and select your SD card. Select “Quick 
Format” and give it a “Volume Label” if you’d like. Press the 
“Format” button. 

You will also require the MemCard PRO2 latest firmware and 
operating system. You can download the file from the following 
link: https://install.appcenter.ms/orgs/beta-ucu9/apps/
memcard-pro2/distribution_groups/public 

Once you download your file, extract its contents to the newly-
formatted microSD card. You should have two new items in the 
root folder of your card: 

• mcp2.bin (file) 

• os (folder) 

Safely-eject your microSD card from your computer and plug it 
into the microSD card slot of your MemCard PRO2. 

If you prefer to use a USB storage device instead of a microSD 
card to store your saves, you can do that by connecting a flash 
drive or external SSD or HDD drive. However, please make sure 
that you power it externally, as the MemCard PRO2 USB port 
does not supply any power. 

Make sure you format your drive with a simple MBR partition 
scheme and FAT32 or exFat file system. Then you can prepare 
the files in the same way as described above for the sd card. 

Please Note

: if you decide to replace the microSD card or USB 

device on your MemCard PRO2, you will need to repeat the 
instructions on this page for the new microSD card or USB 
device. 

You can now plug the MemCard PRO2 in to either slot of your 
PlayStation 1 or PlayStation 2 console.
