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.

I think the best thing is to load your games over the network. The usb ports are only 1.0. And I’m pretty sure the network adapter hard drive connector either only accepts up to 40gb drives or it only uses a pata connection.

There are newer adapters for the network port. I use a 500GB SATA drive just fine, it's just a pain in the butt to transfer games

I just added a SATA drive to my ps2 yesterday, and it plays ps2 games fine but I really want to play psx games. Is there a solution for this yet?

I modded my PS Mini for PS1 games. Its pretty simple.

Hell yeah, that sounds awesome. Does it have native composite video out? I wanna play on my crt without using an hdmi converter
