Memcards, also known as memory cards are a form of flash memory used to store digital information. The Playstation 2 uses memcards 8MB in size using Sony's proprietary Magicgate encryption to prevent copying of information, this uses dedicated hardware on both the memcards itself and the reader.
 
PCSX2 stores memory card information in '''C:\Users\Username\Documents\PCSX2\''' under the '''memcards''', substitute Username for your Windows user login. Memcards are named '''Mcd001.ps2''' for the first slot and '''Mcd002.ps2''' for the second. These files are written in the native PCSX2 .PS2 save format and have a capacity of 8MB like official Sony PS2 memory cards.
 
{{warning|It is recommended that you keep a backup of any files before imported them into PCSX2.}}
