Post by **Dr_Subtitles** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:11 pm

Both of my ps2's broke in the past so I have a shit ton of accessories, bought a PS1, can I use a PS2 memory card on it?(Its shipping so I don't have it yet to test it out.)

Sucks, interestingly enough you can copy over your PS1 files to a PS2 memory card though (on a PS2 of course), just to back them up or something I guess.

PS1 memory cards are usually rather cheap anyway, so it won't hurt you too much to buy yourself one. Make sure it's first party.

What's wrong with third party memory cards? I've never had a problem with any of them.

We could have a whole thread about that, and I think we have before, but it boils down to: except for a lucky few, 3rd party cards will always fail you one day.

Some people report issues with lost or corrupted saves. Personally, I've not seen this happen any more than with official cards. Usually happens due to dirty connectors, not bad memory.

There are also reports that some newer PS2 consoles will refuse to recognize most 3rd-party PS1 memory cards, but that doesn't seem to be a concern here.

I've never had an issue with 3rd party cards either. My first PS1 card was a cheap ass EB one. I wonder if some of the issues can be attributed to yanking cards out while it is writing (when the screen tells you not to), or dirty cards causing connection problems as FP says.
