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 have my ps2 games on my Nas and set up a share that Open Ps2 Loader could access, except the games that don't work like that which i have on an internal ssd, this sounds like a much easier solution I could have done instead of needing to get an oem network adapter, a hard drive, a sata adapter board, a d all the configuration and freemcboot... sounds like this would replace all that... if I wasn't already set up I would have gone this route.

Woah woah slow down, this sounds like more fun. What is your setup?

what do you mean my setup? I have a fat PS2 with an OG network adapter that I removed the IDE board from and replaced with a SATA board and attached a SSD to it. Network cable runs from the network adapter to the wall, I have lots of magic behind the wall, and then it comes out at the NAS where I have a share where all the games are digitally backed up while the discs store dust in a box in my closet. Only game I currently run off the SSD since it won't work over the NAS is FF10-2, and really the only reason I even ripped it was because that's how I felt when the game came out...
