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

    That’s cool and all, but you can probably run your entire PS2 library from stuff you already own.

      If you have a relatively powerful computer or phone, and your library only contains games from the console’s top 100 or so, you’re probably right.

      Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.

      Kinda difficult to put all of your game discs into the PS2

      Although seeing a CD carousel for it would be pretty neat.
