    "HD_Project_V1.07 to make MC on usb stick" grab from link below

    1. dump everything in that archive into your USB STICK

    2. from the ulaunchelf menu select MASS (which is your usb stick), now select the
    "bin" folder, now select Hd_Gui.elf

    3. now your inside the program. select "MC TOOLS", now select "MC CREATOR". select
    either a 8mb memory size, which is standard or a 16mb. Next "VMC PORT: 0" means
    the memory card is for slot 1. set the next option to OFF.

    EXAMPLE:

    VMC SETTINGS

    VMC SIZE: 8 MB
    VMC PORT: 0
    STORE VMC PATH: OFF
    DESTINATION FILE

    START CREATION


    4. select option "DESTINATION FILE", now select "mass:/" (thats your usb stick), select the "bin" folder, now press START on your ps2 controller. (if you set the wrong path, press START, then press the TRIANGLE on your ps2 controller to go back) Now select "START CREATION".

    5. connect your USB stick to your computer. browse to the "bin" folder, and copy your "memorycard0" file to your computer. NOW, DELETE everything on your usb stick. now put the "memorycard0" back in your USB STICK.

    6. YOU NOW HAVE A VIRTUAL MEMORY CARD = VMC.


    WHAT IS THIS FOR??

    1. THIS IS USED FOR GAMES ON HDLOADER THAT NEED TO BE REBUILT (IN ORDER TO WORK, ALTHOUGH MANY MANY GAMES CAN BE REBUILT TO USE VMC ANYWAY) TO USE THE VMC YOU HAVE ON YOUR USB STICK. (prolly add a note on how to rebuild game later, or just google)

    2. REGULAR DVD GAMES CAN ALSO USE THIS FILE ON YOUR USB STICK, if you boot them from HD_Project_V1.07. but it doesn't work with all dvd games from your dvd-rom drive.

    3. this tutorial is aimed at those hdloader games that need a VMC to work off hdloader.

    4. my suggested memory card sizes 8, 16, 32 or 64

    [ If anyone has the files "HD_Project_V1.07 to make MC on usb stick.rar" or "HD_Project_V1.08 NEW VERSION.rar", could you pass them along please? Kthxbie ]

    Will my PS2 slim also reads the USB PS2 Memory card?
    I only use my usb memory card for Action Replay Max.

    I try to do this but when I press START it doesn't do anything. It won't let me back out of picking my destination file either.

    Yeah I'm trying to find out how to use my computer's space for a memory card so when the emulator runs I can save in-game and not have to use a save-state, I may be in the wrong section of the FAQ but I didnt see a guide anywhere else that could tell me how to do this. Please tell me where I can download a memory card or something.
