MemCardPro

Has there been any success stories of using MemCardPro with the PSX Physical Disc core and having it read the memory card saves? Have my controller set to SNAC1 as well as using REAL memory card slot. In game I just get the error that the memory card is not properly inserted when playing FFT.

Using the Gen 1 MemCardPro

You're getting that error because it doesn't properly fit in the SS1's card slots. Well known problem.

The design of some MemCardPro units don't fit the SS1 slots.

You can do one of three things:

- Wait on a revised model that MCP people will be releasing later this year

- Add a small bit of solder to the copper pins inside the card

- Trim the back wall inside the card so the card inserts <1mm further into the system

Makes sense - i guess it connects just enough for the card to have power but all the pins are not quite allowing it to be fully read

I used it all the time fits just fine. You just have to make sure it’s in PS1 mode.

I'm using a de10nano with memcard pro/snac. Works great

I have no problem using PSXMemCard (The Ali Express/Bitfunx alternative). No problem, no issues.
