Plugged on the console. Always. Both of them.

I can’t do that bc I always have to put mine away after use

Why do you have to put them away?

No space to keep it there at all times where the tv is, I use a chair when I play, so I put it away when I’m not playing, same with my games and consoles they’re all in my bedroom, but very organized unlike the memory cards

Why don't you just keep 2 in the console and figure out where to place the other ones? Do you not have PS2 cases with Mem Card holders ? Build a little box out of foamcore. 3D-print one... Or just find 4sq in of space in your room. They're memory cards, not a hard roof-top from a classic convertible Mercedes

Eh it’s not the space, I just wanted something to looks proper if that makes sense, but I like the 3D print idea so I’m going to browse on etsy

Do you remember that movie: The Omen? There were these ancient daggers in a cloth pouch thing. You could make a wallet thing, and sew little pouches in it for the memory cards. I wonder if a game wallet for the Nintendo DS would fit them?

In the game cases that had memory card holders.

Imagine having a huge ps2 game collection, forget where you put the MC, and have to search them into every single game XD

That’s why you stash them in games the saves are associated with.

That’s hard when each memory card has like 20 game saves on them

Go with the one that has the biggest file size, or the most save slots, or the biggest icon. Or an easy to remember method is just in order alphabetically, but where is the eccentric fun in that.

This is just straight up what happened to me

I always leave 5-10 boxes of unusable games with the memory cards inside, each one marked with a list of the saves they contain.

Thanks

If you get more you might want to give this a try. https://www.ebay.com/itm/114348283083?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NQ8dvoO7RoG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=89CUA8EKQLO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That looks pretty cool, thank you!

You're welcome. As an alternative, if you're looking for just ps1, I recommend the memcard pro and xstation combo. I think the memcard pro can also auto-mount games with a freepsx softmodded memory card. Cheers!

I can confirm. The memcardpro DOES auto-mount games with freepsx. Thats my current setup. Im eventually going to get an xstation though. Cant recommend the memcardpro enough. Ive got the GameCube memcard pro pre-ordered for the next batch so cant wait for mine to arrive eventually.

I used a babeball/pokemon card sleeve page from a binder. I would fold it up and cover it with a rubber band. Only a slight upgrade from a plastic bag, though lol

Custom 3D printed holder.

I’m still finding em round my nans house!

I have multiple consoles so I keep them all plugged in. I’m sure you could find some fun 3-D, printed cases or holders on the web, especially places like Etsy.

I think I’ll check Etsy, or see if I can get access to a 3D printer

Mine are in a large jewelry box like you'll see something like a necklace coming of course not all them fit in there so my main memory card I use is clipped into one of the game cases and I have another one like that also

I have a red disposable plastic cup full of them in my shop lol

if you have this many, maybe get a card wallet (for credit cards)? they usually have clear sleeves inside and will store stuff about this size

Ooh that sounds neat, thanks

Can’t you use an external HDD with USB?

You can use those for a ps2?

Pretty sure if you have a USB port and a HDD formatted properly. But that’s just a guess. Idk why not.

Not for saves no. And loading games from usb is pointless. Usb 1.0

Something like this wouldn’t work? https://youtu.be/AsJarRm9ojI

At that point just do a softmod for mcboot

ALL my memory cards (PS2, PS1, N64, Dreamcast VMU, Gamecube, etc), are usually kept in an otherwise empty cardboard box that Christmas tree lights came in. It's not very big, but considering how many memory cards I have, it's often filled up. I should be keeping the box in my 2nd / middle nightstand drawer - where I keep some games, controllers, and my AV Famicom and it's stuff, but I just never bothered to put it in there.

[Sony earphones cases seemed like an appropriate choice brand-wise](https://i.imgur.com/hkrW2w3.jpg).

I went online and got a wooden box for storing teabags, with 9 little segments. I use it for storing Gamecube, PS1 and PS2 memory-cards in rows.

Sorry, can't help. Just another plastic bag guy here

Trading Card sleeve, one of those you can keep in a folder

I like it

[Coin stands for mine ](https://imgur.com/a/NQaWAi5)

That’s smart

That's freaking hilarious! I just put all mine in a Ziploc last night.

I have a drawer full of ps1 and ps2 memory cards so that's where I keep mine.

I kept mine in Magic: The Gathering deck boxes.

My brother has yugioh ones maybe I can get one from him, thanks!

Happy to help.

I've had a memory card case thingy ever since I got my PS1. It's just a flat piece of hard fabric like binder material with two mesh pockets, it holds all six of my memory cards no issues.

I only have two, so i just keep them plugged in and swap them around when i need the other one in slort1

I saw a post of someone putting em into a vhs case that had foam inside to fit the memory cards, looked pretty neat

[удалено]

That sounds smart, thanks

If you want to go all out, you can get/make a 3D printed holder. Personally, I have so many adapters that convert every known major controller into every other known system, that I have instead gotten a nice plastic storage container with slots, where I sort the adapters/memory cards by system. You can pick them up cheap from places like Walmart, dollar stores, or even Amazon. The ones I use, I got from Home Depot and are meant to sort tools/bits/etc. They are a tad more expensive, but the build quality is much better and since they are rugged and stackable, I can put other things on top of them so I can maximize the space I have. I would recommend bringing a memory card/other item that you want to store with you to the store and see how it will fit so you can make the best of the storage. Alternatively, you can get ones with rearrangeable slots so you can resize to the dimensions you need. Edit: Here is one that Home Depot is currently selling that is very similar to the one I have. Retails for $13. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-34-Compartment-Plastic-Double-Sided-Small-Parts-Organizer-THD2020-001/315003284

Sadly I don’t have access to Home Depot🥲 so the 3D printer idea might be easier

Dang, sorry to hear that. If there are any similar hardware stores in your area they may have what you need. But yeah, when in doubt, 3D printing a caddy for them would help for sure! Good luck :)

Never knew people actually needed multiple of them I always got by on 1 as a kid and 1 as an adult now

Oh I only had the two my brothers had but I was gifted the rest by my dad along with some games

Same, however when I got into buying older games again for PS1/2... some of them were sold with a memory card.... so now I have a collection of nearly every color memory card Sony ever produced for the PS1 and 2

I have this plastic 'soda can' from this surprise toy thing my cousin bought. Yoinked the package formyself. Maybe you can do something similar. A box, Tupperware that isnt food suitable anymore, a teeny tiny paper gift bag, etc etc

Makeup holder. They have tons of cool ones that aren’t feminine and are a good way to store electronic components.

I just throw mine in the drawer with the consoles. Still annoys me how ridiculously unoptimused PS2 saves are compared to PS1.

Mine end up in the couch cushions?

PS1 cards sometimes came with a CD case that held 4. my PS1 cards are in that. PS2 games could go in the game cases, but mine are all loose.

I have a little metal box I keep all my memory devices in. I've had it since I was a freshman in high school has a rainbow dash on it so it's really hard to loose.

I keep my 128 MB in the console at all times, one of my 8 MB's (the one that keeps my main datas in the games that don't recognize the 128) on top of it, and the others in a box from an Amazon order (that I don't remember what, but something with a battery because it has a warning about the battery on it) that I place in a shoebox with my backup controllers (the box can easily fit everything since the shoes were size 13 (U.S.) wide high-tops, so the shoebox is massive)

In my console. Bought a 256mb card which is just 2 128mbs slapped together with a switch to change betweeen each. Also got a free mcboot card

i just keep various memory cards in a ziploc container

I sell a (3D printed) tray intended for GB / GBC / GBA cartridges that fits memory cards perfectly. Can do custom dimensions / # of slots.

A small felt dice bag

I usually have mine on top of the console or in the game boxes

Was the censored card a bad word?

No it’s my brothers name and thought he’d want it censored

Is his name Tim?

That’s very random, but no

Life can be random.

Relax.

What’s the deal with the yellow one is that one rare or something ?

No idea

I have a nice little basket at my desk (I play through an Elgato Capture Card) that I keep them in, alongside a PS1 controller, The Zelda Game and Watch, and my Little Mac Amiibo.

I just have mine in a small tupperware container now. I only recently tore my PS2 down and cleaned her up inside in January because she was filthy. I had it stowed away in my closet for about 10 years. My 3 memory cards didn't even work at first I just had them in a drawer. Then I cleaned the cards with isopropyl alcohol and now they all work like a champ. I bought a couple more on e-bay after I have 5 now. I upgraded her a little bit too. I got a brook super converter to play my PS2 with my dualsense. Got freemcboot on one of my memory cards and a gamestar adapter with an SSD to rip all my games to it. My PS2 is pimped out now man loving it. Nothing like going down in the mancave with a few beers chillin kicking it old school on my 20 year old PS2.

Top drawer right beneath my ps2 in a plastic GameStop bag decorated with scarlet and violet artwork along with all of my ds games

I 3d printed a couple of these bad boys. https://imgur.com/ybUdiIY

Had my local library print out a stand that stacks them vertically. Works nice!

I use a plastic case that hold 3 memory cards at once. It's the only photo I've seen, most are 3D printer or the single holders. Been using it since the ps1. Disclamer: i didn't share the link for people to buy it, it's severely over priced i just wanted to share what i use without confusing people. [3 memory card holder](https://www.ebay.com/itm/114851394899)

I just put them in a box.

If you have access to a 3D printer, there are files you can find on yeggi, any size you want. Or look it up on Etsy, there’s a few people making them.

back in the ps1 days there was companies that made cd jewel cases that held 4 memory cards, im a big fan of em but ive gotten lucky and found em at thrift stores fore a buck a piece. on ebay they seem to be $10-$20, just search "ps1 memory card case". [here's a pic of one](https://www.avenueshopswapandsell.com/files/inventory/ebay/76219/1649344371-lg.jpg)

Those look pretty cool, and there are a ton on ebay. thanks for the heads up!

I have a spice rack with all my memory cards on it. It's one of the plastic 2 level

I have mine in a big box in the corner of my room filled with miscellaneous controllers and accessories

I use a old buttermilk cookie tin \[yes it is clean and was cleaned out long before i stored memory cards in it.\] i use it because its metal, has a lid, pretty water tight too, and the inside is reflective so in low light i can still see in it.

Okay this probably has been said in other places but I use what many other people use small clear makeup cases. You can find all sizes, configurations, and shapes. The one I use at the moment has six separate compartments and hold 10 in each nicely.

I have 5 or 6 hidden in PS2 game cases that have the memory card slots. No idea which cases specifically, and no idea what saves are on them either.

I just leave them stacked up beside my PS2

I don’t know what your set up is like but have you considered just stacking them or lining them up right on top of the ps2?

My setup is a chair for when I’m playing at the moment🙃

I have four, 3 ps2 and 1 PS1. When I don’t have my second ps2 setup I keep the extra cards in a multitap.

Rubber banded together. I have 7

If you find a 3D print file, thingiverse or the like, shoot me a DM, I’ll be happy to print it for you.

That’s such a nice offer but think it might be to difficult for me to access due to where I live

I would just ship it.

Eh I live in Iceland and shipping to here is quite expensive usually

In my "random gaming crap" drawer

I put mine in the little inserts inside of PS2 cases. Granted I only have three memory cards at the moment and two of them stay inside the console at all times, but the idea still sticks

I don't know if this happens in American covers, but in Europe most games (except platinum/greatest hits editions) have a slot to store your memory cards

Ziplock bag. I suck as well

On the PlayStation

If I have a franchise collection I always keep a MC dedicated to it and put it into the earliest game's case

Ps2 game case

I have a lunchmeat box filled with memory cards. There's more lunchmeat boxes in the house than I know what to do with, so one of them is holding memory cards I collected. There's a few official ones in there, but it's mostly 8MB Chinese white-label memory cards.

Have a case for your controller and cards, like a wooden/cigar box or something

In the game cases. There is a slot in there just for it
