    Default ePSXe bigger memory card?

    Hello,

    As everyone know that PSOne could use 8MB (120 blocks) memory cards. Is there any 'virtual' version of those cards for ePSXe? In some games it takes 4 blocks to make save file so 'default' 2x 15 isn't that much.

    I know, I can copy memcard files and have 9001 cards but it's not the same.

    You can have as many memcards as you like, this would be the same as having a single multi page memcard, just change memcards as and when you need more space, I have even had games that will use an entire memcard, so I have got several memcards for my PSone/Playstation aswell as the use of the Action Replay 3.11 for the Playstation with a toatl of 15 virtual memcards

    There was no memcards that could have more than the 15 blocks but they used a simple paging system that let you manually change pages with a press of a button on the memcard, or like the olde action replay/gameshark 3.XX that let you change pages while in the action replay/gameshark menu

    The PSone did not support more than 15 blocks and it never had support for the PS2's 8Meg Memcard and the available 8MB memcards are paged memcards with a digital display to let you know what page you are using

    I loved mine, but by the time it was 8 years old I couldn't use more than half of it.


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.
