The PCSX2 emulator stores memory card information in the '''memcards''' subfolder of your PCSX2 configuration folder. 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.
