Retrubby Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hi I recently bought a modded ps1 slim Working perfectly fine. Issue is its not detecting the memory card . Though I can insert this memory card in ps2 its detected in browser and I can format it. But in ps1 games not detecting this memory card. Is there any solution? Is it because of ps1 mod? Please help I want to save my games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Have you tried a different memory card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Moss Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Unless the mod was to use a different type of memory card/game data storage that is a poor mod if it has disrupted memory card access. Have you tried both card slots? If only one card slot is affected it may just be a bad solder joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerson Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If I remember correctly the controller and memory card use the exact same connections and rely on serial commands to determine which device the console is talking to. If this is true then your controller should not work either if the mod work is bad. See if they pulled power from the memory card port and look for shorts. I assume you've tried cleaning contacts in the console and memory card. Is this an official memory card or third party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"See if they pulled power from memory card slots" How do I look for that? Memory card does have sony branding on it but when I connect to ps2 it only has 128kb space despite being empty which makes me think it might be a copy, though not so sure .

You have to open the console and look at the mod chip wiring. 12 hours ago, Retrubby said: Memory card does have sony branding on it but when I connect to ps2 it only has 128kb space despite being empty which makes me think it might be a copy, though not so sure . 128KB (kilobytes) is correct. Another way of saying it is 1 Mb or (megabits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Try cleaning the contacts on the card. Other than this, I don't know. If the PS2 Browser can read the card, then the games should be able to also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also be sure to clean the contacts on the console as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked perfectly on my ps one! Came to know that the one I had is most likely a clone that looked exactly the same from outside except that the clone had PSone written instead of Playstation. Thank you guys can FINALLY save now Quote Edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
