Tomee 1MB Memory Card for PS1

This product works just as fine a the official memory cards that Sony produces. Though many people complain about an issue where slimline PS2 consoles do not read the card for formatting on the browser, there is an easy solution to this.What has to be done is, upon opening the package for your card, you must NOT plug it in to your PS2 (to avoid corruption). First, boot your PS2 with your chosen copy of a Playstation 1 disc and wait for the console to load. Once the game boots, you can insert your memory card into the console and save whenever you are prompted to do so. The game will ask you to format the card before saving and will be read by the PS2 browser after formatting with this method.Sony purposefully made the PS2 consoles to not work with unformatted cards that were not made by their companies, rendering 3rd party card like these useless. But that's why I am here to help those get the best out of this product. If the memory card was formatted before trying to use it with the PS2 browser, (such as used in the method above) the console reads it as it would an official Sony card.So format in game BEFORE using it in the PS2 browser!And for those looking for alternate methods of formatting before using with your PS2, if you happen to have an old PS1 console lying around, use it to format the card and save a game before switching off to use on the PS2 console. It should read on the browser just fine.You now have a fully compatible PS1 Memory Card!! (Sweet!)As for the physical properties of the card:-The shape allows it to be stored safely in PS2 game cases using the Memory Card Holder within the box-The card isn't one of those funky shaped clones with odd clear colors and matches the original PSone-The plastic may not feel as solid as the official cards, but much more durable than most 3rd party cards.-Slides into memory card slots with ease. (Most 3rd party cards feel sticky upon insertion/removal)Overall, I give this card a 5 star rating for it has yet to fail me in any real way which would not be my own fault, and I really enjoyed the quality it had to offer, as it surpassed my original expectations by a long-shot. My childhood gaming soul has been revived yet again. Thank you Hyperkin!-Miguel S.P.S.

Like all reviews before me, I can verify this works on PS2 with a PS1 game when inserted after being prompted. I'm so glad i read the reviews regarding those instructions. My experience - I recently started playing Driver again and forgot how excruciating the training stage was. Once i passed the test and started playing the game i got about four levels deep and decided to save my game... i couldn't because i had 2 memory cards for PS2 inserted into the slots. So I came here and found this bad boy. Once it arrived i removed a PS2 card and fired up Driver again, passed the Training on the first try and was prompted to SAVE the game. So I inserted the card and on the screen came a box that said card not formatted... then i waited 30 seconds and a new box appeared that said would you like to format? and i chose yes. The game saved perfectly and now i am driving through restaurants and chasing L trains as I should be, whats next? Save the President and win the game of course! Then it's on to Driver 2 and that i will also save on this card. Just follow the instructions and it works perfectly.

I bought one of these memory cards and it actually worked for my ps2 slim edition perfectly. I followed the direction in the other reviews which were helpful. 1.) If your saving a game: Turn on the game and play it until ready to save. When saving and the screen prompts that there is no memory card insert the memory card at that time. You can leave the memory card in there as long as your playing that game. 2.) Loading a game works the same way: load up the game like normal. Go to load and when prompting for a memory card insert the memory card. Enjoy the game. Simple directions that work everytime. Side note: I haven't inserted the memory card before turning on nor when switching to another game. I assume it will read it like a ps2 memory card and attempt to reformat the memory card. Other than that it works just follow the steps I can't stress that enough. This memory card really makes me happy because it works and I don't have to start over in Crash Bash a million times. I can actually finish the game after 11 years. I will be ordering another memory card once I get more ps1 game.

The youngest one can now play the old PS 1 games and save them on the PS2 console. My kids love the Spyro games and for the longest time my youngest girl has not been able to save her progress. I did not even know they had these available. I just looked out of curiosity and here it is.I bought 3 of them, one for each of the different Spyro games she is playing. I do not remember how many or how much game progress 1 megabyte of storage will do and did not want to chance it. The price is so inexpensive I figured why not.So far they work just fine.Very happy that a company is making a product for people that want to play the older console games and save their progress.I would recommend this product to a friend. If any problems arise I will update this review.Thanks for reading my review.

For the chip itself it's 10/10 for working. They had no issues, came in fairly common packaging. The only issue I'd say is that it is clearly made cheaply as shown in the image. You pay for what you get. In this case you get a good chip with a weak casing.
