PS2 Memory Cards - Guidance and Suggestions (sh.itjust.works)

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 :)

For FreeMC Boot, would you put it on a secondary OEM Card? Or is it best to just use one card for everything.

Sadly I don't live in Europe, and the chain game stores here don't sell them anymore. But there is lots of local places here that have good return policies / testing of everything before putting it on shelves.

Thank you very much for your insight!

It's recommended that you use a dedicated card for FreeMCBoot.

Good to know that then! I'll look for a MemCard PRO as others suggested when I eventually expand my setup to unify both of my MemoryCards.

If you get a MemCard PRO2, you can put FreeMC Boot on the same SD card that you'll be saving your games to.
