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. This breakthrough technology, developed by a team of coders, enables smart memory cards like the 8BitMods MemCard Pro 2 and the open-source SD2PSX to load games directly from a MicroSD card while also functioning as virtual memory cards for saving progress.How It WorksThe MMCE system alternates between save data and game data, allowing players to boot PS2 games using Open PS2 Loader (OPL) without requiring any hardware modifications

    Woah woah slow down, this sounds like more fun. What is your setup?

      what do you mean my setup? I have a fat PS2 with an OG network adapter that I removed the IDE board from and replaced with a SATA board and attached a SSD to it. Network cable runs from the network adapter to the wall, I have lots of magic behind the wall, and then it comes out at the NAS where I have a share where all the games are digitally backed up while the discs store dust in a box in my closet. Only game I currently run off the SSD since it won’t work over the NAS is FF10-2, and really the only reason I even ripped it was because that’s how I felt when the game came out…

        I mean that. I thought open loader 2 was some streaming platform or something.
