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.

That's cool and all, but you can probably run your entire PS2 library from stuff you already own.

    Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn't justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.

    Kinda difficult to put all of your game discs into the PS2

    Although seeing a CD carousel for it would be pretty neat.

    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...
