When you connect the unit to the PS3, the inserted Memory Card will show up inside of the Memory Card Utility. Under the Game section on the Cross Media Bar, you’ll find the Memory Card Utility. You use the same USB cable to connect the adaptor that you use to charge the PS3 controllers.įor those of you who don’t know how it works, IGN explains how PS2 and PSone saves are handled on the PS3: * At a price of $14.99 the PS3 Memory Card Adapter does not come with a cable, but this is just a heads up, because it doesn’t need to. While the card is recognized, a non-descript error is returned as soon as you try to copy its contents. * The adaptor will not work with cards that have more than 8MB of storage space, like the Mad Catz 16MB card. It’s all or nothing, but you’re still free to delete saves at will once the card has been copied over to the hard drive.

* You cannot explore your PSone or PS2 card and copy over specific game saves. I realize this is very cheeky to say, but maybe you could get it at a store, carefully use it once, and then return it to get something else with the money.

* You actually only use the unit one time to copy over your old save data and that’s it. You can copy them between PS3 internal virtual memory cards, but not back to a physical PSone or PS2 card. * You cannot copy saves back to a physical Memory Card.
