"PS2 Memory card question"
, posted Wed 27 Aug 11:55
Well, yet another doubt rampages my mind: I got my hands into a Tekken I original game; I inserted it on the PS2 and I could actually play the game; I unlocked as many character as I could and then I proudly pressed the save button...
"No memory card found".
Then I recall the PS1 memory cards use a "blocks" system while the PS2 one uses the standard mgs system....
What should I do, I plan on getting many PS games in order to play them... Is it possible to have a PS1 memory card working on the console, no problems at all??? Since memory cards are obscenely expensive where I live I thought on asking here first instead of using tons of my hard-earned cash.

I believe that you can only save PS1 memory files on a PS1 memory card. Basically, go get a PS1 memory card and use it with your PS2 to save your game.
Tekken 1 !! :)

Yes PS1 cards work with PS2. What I like to do is save games to a PS1 card and then copy the save to a PS2 card (yes you CAN do that even though you can't use the PS2 card itself on a game)) as backup. It takes about 8k per block each.

Well, thanks guys for your quick replies; I'll try to get a PS1 mem card shortly (either that or borrow one, save and copy everything to use it on the PS2 mem card)...
For the record, I should get Tekken 2 & 3 shortly... Life can be soo good sometimes, specially when you are drunk. Monkey told you that

Just to add, PSOne games can't (or just plain don't) recognise PS2 memory cards. That's why you got a "No Memory Card Found" message. You can copy PSOne save files to your PS2 memory card, as Cain said, but your PSOne games won't see them.

Everything uses blocks. With a PS2 memory card they just also tell you how much space is really being used.
It's important to note that the size of a block changes from system to system because it is hardware dependent; not a globaly defined thing like a bit.
Be kind to goblins.

I see... Unusual, since here they used to sell memcards by size, at least a friend of mine used to do that. Again, thanks for the help.
