The PS2 DevKit Compatibility feature is also useful for PS2s with MechaPwn that had their BIOS changed to a devkit one, in order to make it region free.

[@DXSteveX]

The MechaPwn mod works great now ? When i tested like 1 year ago or a bit more maybe, all ps1 game and even backup was working perfectly on the PS2, but not the PS2 game from other region.

[@Astfgl]

@@DXSteveX It depends on what PS2 model you apply it to, and which BIOS region you switch to. I used MechaPwn on my SCPH-90004 PS2 Slim and changed it to be a Japanese devkit, and that made it completely region free for all PS1 and PS2 games. But on earlier PS2 models (500xx and 700xx), it can't unlock the region for PS2 discs.

[@DXSteveX]

@@Astfgl Oh ok thanks, i tested on 77004 model and yeah the ps2 region was not unlocked. I have a 90000 japanese console so it could works perfectly on this one so ? I have this console for speddruning game only, in other case i play on fat console with OPL or emulator.

The fan mod is an interesting one. I used a 5v Noctua and that works perfectly, quietish but not close to silent. The schematics say the fan gets up to 8v, but it seems to be more of a fixed output - voltage rises until the power draw is high enough. The 5v Noctua handles more power than the original fans in the 3900 models, so it doesn't seem to receive more than 5v.

[@AltimaNEO]

@@hamster9135 I bought some kit off Amazon that came with and printed bracket. It's a black noctua fan, surprisingly. Its extremely quiet, in my case. The stock fan sounded like a jet engine ready to take off.

Fantastic, purchased! I've been holding-out on the MCP1 coz some time ago they announced the MCP2 would support PS1 & PS2, at £39.99 to support both consoles this is a fair price. Could I live without it? Yes, but it's so insanely useful, im sure it will be worth it.

This is brilliant. It solves a problem that we all have and have been working around. Very elegant solution.

[@Formedras]

Does the MemCard Pro2 have the ability to have multiple games on one channel via GameID recognition? For example, it would be nice to be able to use the same virtual card for all the Armored Core games on the PS2, since they all can import various amounts of data from prior games. (AC2AA can pull saves from AC2, AC3SL can pull from AC3, 9B can pull from Nexus, LR can pull from both Nexus and 9B, and they can all pull Emblem data from prior games.) Similar for the .hack franchise. (Each chapter of a series pulls from the previous one, G.U. Terminal Disc pulls from the three G.U games, G.U. Vol.1 can pull from all of the original series, and each G.U. chapter can use LATER chapters' save data to unlock enhanced starting stats.) Even Sony themselves got into it: In Gran Turismo 4, having save data from GT3 or a GT Concept game can give you extra money. (Not to mention the Arc the Lad games on PS1.)

[@guruguru214]

I like how you highlighted using the boot card as a Free McBoot card. I use my MemCard Pro GC the same way, if a little less elegantly. I haven't done PicoBoot or anything, so I have my boot card set to a hacked save file that runs iplboot (the same loader PicoBoot uses) from the memory card, which launches Swiss off the SD2SP2, then Swiss switches me to a card for whatever game I pick. Like you said, it makes it hard to imagine using my GameCube without it. The MemCard Pro line is a total game changer.

[@cheddar6738]

Do you have a guide of how to set that up?

[@guruguru214]

@@cheddar6738 I've tried a couple times to give you some pointers, but my comments keep disappearing. I guess it's something I'm saying? Just search for the things I talked about using and you should hopefully get pointed in the right direction. If you get stuck, I can try again here or you can look me up elsewhere and I'll help. Edit: Since this comment stayed up, I'll try here and I'll keep it short: Google the name of the loader, that'll get you it, the game saves, and instructions. Use Tito's PicoBoot video to set up the SP2. Use this video to set up the virtual memory card. You'll need GCMM, either on Swiss or a Wii, to get the stuff on the memory card.

Weird that you have manually switch it into PS1 Mode, for me the Memcard Pro 2 does that by itself. The one feature I wish it had is a method to move individual save files from one VMC to another for cases where one game can make use of a save file from another game, like i.e. Gran Turismo 4 will give you stuff if you have save files from Gran Turismo 3 and / or 4 Prologue.

[@CAVisualProductions]

I gotten this card a few weeks ago and just now starting to work with it. And I tell you this is an AMAZING card and was worth the wait! I did test putting the card into my PS1 console which has the X-Station, and the mode switched automatically to the PS1 mode. Unfortunately when I placed it back into my PS2 it was still in the PS1 mode so I had to switch it manually. In addition if you put in a physical PS1 disc (switching to PS1 mode on the console) the MCP2 will also change to that mode. I guess that If the card was updated to where it can automatically switch back to PS2 that would be awesome. In addition the other issue with the MCP2 is that when in OPL when your playing a game obviously the VMC will show the current game being played. If one uses the IGR though it won't work since the MCP2 has to be back on the FMCB card for it to work (I have yet to test this). And as for PS3 compatibility that is sooo awesome even though I have the PS3 Mem card adapter back when it was cheap back in the day. What a time to be alive in this modern gaming age!! Great job on this video!

Not YET, but it seems technically possible. However... Some other stuff is way higher on the priority-list, like **Game-Card-switching for EVERYTHING that writes to the "history" (that's for the "towers" in the intro sequence of the PS2) WITHOUT THE NEED FOR HOMEBREW for discs, is one thing being worked on for example. Another is SIO-Debug for developers! There are quite a few things to get straight and 100% working first.

I just got mine today, and it's really nifty. No more do I have to worry about finding a memory card for the Playstation 2.

[@3rd.Eye.Saw.Destruction]

I’m a little confused at how the virtual memory cards are mounted but I highly recommend everyone to keep fmc and other programs on a separate physical memory card if you’re using this to play games off of. If it’s using some sort of multitap protocol that could be a huge bottleneck that might break compatibility for some games. It might not be a big issue for most stuff especially if you’re not playing madden with 8 people or using other accessories but it’s good to keep this in mind. Another issue that comes to mind in using OPL is freezing while saving (which is already an issue for games that aren’t running off HDD) I foresee it being exacerbated to the point of being frozen twice as long or even locking up if you’re running everything off this. Maybe it has some features that fix this through its microprocessor but idk, just some concerns I had.

Cool I just ordered one for myself as they are fantastic cards the previous two I have got from them. Wounder why game cube one is the most costly one.

[@AndyMitchellUK26]

Holy moly. I just checked out the price for this thing and that's amazingly cheap for what it is! It's just a shame all of my retro consoles are packed away until we buy our own house as I'd love one of these for my PS2. I also think that it's awesome that it works with the PS3 to import game saves, that's super handy.

[@jacesol00]

What a perfect timing indeed i just modded my ps2 with a 1TB HDD and i was trying to figure out a way to have my saves without needing the memory cards, and this is it a way to acess and create Virtual memory cards, awesome 👍🏻😎

[@nrobsoekim]

I'm sorry to inform you, but Opl already has that feature.

[@jacesol00]

@@nrobsoekim yes but correct me if I'm wrong, you can't just access the virtual memory cards from the HDD right?

[@nrobsoekim]

@@jacesol00 fair enough point.

[@KarolSobczak]

What is the advantage over OPL built in vmc option? I use smb an all of my games have separate vmc witch is stored on smb with games for ps2.

[@tnaplastic2182]

- Beside compatibility and super easy management and movement of PS1&PS2 saves across all platforms? - Beside possibly loading games FROM it? - Beside it being possible to create a HID-Emulator for BT-Devices for EVERY device, including PS/PS2/PS3/PS4/PS5/PC/any USB connected device... - Beside it being a cheaper PS3-MemoryCardAdapter? - Beside it being an SD to USB Adapter? - Beside being a Dongle-replacement for Arcade? Yeah, beside those things it is possible to add more and use it for more and it is very affordable (40bucks) for what it already offers and what could potentially be done with it.

Yes! Classic intro music is back

[@FlorianMark]

I am very new to this. Are the roms now on the hdd or are the on the sdcard in the memory card?

[@CardCaptorKaren]

I got one of these day 1 and I'd like it a lot more if there wasn't a coinflip chance of the SD card corrupting when manually swapping cards, so it's become OPL use only for me with regular memory cards still holding for disc games. Straight replacing my FMCB card is hella useful though.

[@theoldone22]

There are a few games that will unlock more features if it sees a save file for another game on the card, does this support setting up shared virtual card for this up or better detect those games and automatically share the card with other games in such a set? Example is Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time gives a discount and a hat when it sees a Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty save.

[@tnaplastic2182]

You can share VMCs amongst games.

[@CoilBuilder]

This literally makes me want to collect a ps2 library

[@mistaecco]

The memcard pro series are the one tech in this hobby that are *always* an *immediate* buy for me these days.

[@RPMRosie]

Can't say for sure since I don't have the mcp (yet) but the devkit compatibility mode could also be for mechapwned consoles (unless that doesn't affect anything with the mcp)

[@lfsky]

Countless amazing titles I've owned for the PS2 and they're quite good on the stock console for point of reference until we can retire this thing forever. Nice showcase!

[@lfsky]

Wow, all three consoles. Been thinking about getting each for obvious reasons.

[@takuced6026]

It's so good, I recently bought 8BitDo Retro Receiver Mini, I would like to see one day convert the RJ45 to Wi-Fi or integrated into a memory card to be able to play online games (with custom DNS) because it It's annoying to make a PS2 bridge with my laptop to be able to play online or leave the cable lying on the floor too far to the modem box...

[@VEN0M415]

Dreamcast Memcard is needed but Id love to see an Xbox Memcard Pro as well 👀

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Personally, I have multiple 512GB MicroSD cards, which I can easily store not only save files, but also dump backups of ISO file PS2 and PS1 (Bin+cue+ISO files) into the MicroSD card if necessary. Althought this one only does save files for PS1 and PS2, I do hope it'll also be a tool to dump backups of our games so we can boot it up through McBoot without using the disc again (just so the disc doesn't end up having cracks or scratches from the console's Disc Player in the future). And yes, if they ever make one for the Saturn, N64, Dreamcast and Original Xbox (Xbox One/Xbox 2001/The First Xbox), then pretty much the 5th and 6th generation of consoles would be complete.

[@tnaplastic2182]

Huh?? We don't need discs to boot apps, since a very long time... Booting games from it is possible IMO, but not yet implemented.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

@@tnaplastic2182 What I'm saying is if they would like to, implement a feature where you can dump your own games into the MicroSD card and play it on either the PS2 or an emulator. I know there are other methods out there that can do it already, but it'll be interesting if 8BitDo does that themselves or something like that.

[@tnaplastic2182]

@@SuperFlashDriver I already wrote, that it is possible but not yet implemented. We (PS2 Scene and OPL Developers) are in a collaboration with 8bitmods and PixelFX and will work on this later. Currently there are more important things to work on, like Game-ID-Retrieval without the need for Homebrew, which works with discs and even OPL 0.9.3, etc.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

@@tnaplastic2182 Oh, I didn't realize you were a part of those communities, my mistake (I thought you were some random consumer, but I was clearly wrong). I think the reason why I brought it up is for those that want an easy way to dump their own games instead of using a separate method or device to do the same thing. I just didn't know what's the current status of the device so far that's all (didn't even bother to check where the original website or forum the 8BitDo is mentioning about so, that's on me).

Damn you Titto for this video! I just put my order through, another fine product your show casing, a product I never knew I wanted, but must have. Now I have to explain to my wife the missing $ :)
