Excellent memory card, it does exactly what i need it to do which is save games. much better than psxmemcard because you don't have to do awkward button presses to change the "card". i have both and would recommend this one a tiny bit more. both are good but this one is better.

Very good product. Once the update is done, you don't even need to touch the memory card anymore. It will automatically create a card based on the game being played. I recommend it; it's truly the ultimate memory card!
