A new innovation in the retro gaming community now allows you to run your entire PS2 library directly from a $50 memory card, thanks to the Multi-Purpose Memory Card Emulation (MMCE) protocol.

    That’s cool and all, but you can probably run your entire PS2 library from stuff you already own.

      I have my ps2 games on my Nas and set up a share that Open Ps2 Loader could access, except the games that don’t work like that which i have on an internal ssd, this sounds like a much easier solution I could have done instead of needing to get an oem network adapter, a hard drive, a sata adapter board, a d all the configuration and freemcboot… sounds like this would replace all that… if I wasn’t already set up I would have gone this route.

      If you have a relatively powerful computer or phone, and your library only contains games from the console’s top 100 or so, you’re probably right.

      Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.

      Kinda difficult to put all of your game discs into the PS2

      Although seeing a CD carousel for it would be pretty neat.
