How to backup your PS1 memory cards

Recommended Posts

If you still have your memory cards for your PS1, and you have saves you want to protect, there is a way to secure those saves for the future. As sad as it is to say, our memory cards will eventually stop working, as any device does. The files on said memory card don't stick around forever either, so there's always a chance that your old saves could be long lost to time. 

But, someone was able to make it possible to copy your old saves and transfer them to a PC for safe keeping. It's not an easy process, and requires an adapter for it to work, but it's one way to backup your old saves.

I don't know if it works for PS2 memory cards though.

Honestly, I had no idea that it was possible to actually backup PS1 memory card saves to a PC. It's so amazing that someone actually created a solution to preserve those classic games.

That's what I said - I have like 4 or 5 memory cards just sitting around in some drawers with save files for games like FF8, MGS and others.
