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 :)

I had loads of memory cards back when they were actually current technology, so did my friends. I don’t remember anyone ever reporting issues with them other than losing them or accidentally wiping someone else’s save games. I think they’re pretty reliable.
