PREORDER UPDATE 15/07/2024:
The batch that was expected in June 2024 has a slight delay, and a new expected date for shipping is now mid-August 2024. We are working with our partners to expedite the shipping of the MemCard PROs as much as possible. You patience is greatly appreciated.
The wait is over! No more piles of tiny memory cards for the PlayStation 1 with a mere 15 blocks on each card.
Did you know that there are games that use a whole standard Memory Card for just 1 save?
The MemCard PRO was designed and assembled by 8BitMods, and it's a brand new offering for the PlayStation 1 that solves the problem of storing your game's saves forever.
High Tech
Using the latest components, the MemCard PRO offers an almost infinite amount of blocks for your PlayStation 1, from a single slot! An ESP32 module provides an incredible amount of power, with a dual-core processor running at 240MHz.
Endless Storage
MemCard PRO can store "virtual memory cards" on a standard microSD card of any size. Everything from 1GB to 1TB works!
Each gigabyte of storage on your microSD card equals to a whopping 8192 memory cards! Yes you've read that right! A 1GB microSD can store 122,880 blocks of PlayStation 1 game saves!
But it doesn't stop there! This little device is packed with features!
A Memory Card with WiFi!?
MemCard PRO can also connect to your WiFi network, to provide extra cool features! At this moment you can browse and control the Memory Cards on your microSD card, through an intuitive Web User Interface. It can also update its firmware over the internet, or through the microSD card slot.
.. and an FTP Server!
Why get up from the leisure of your couch to move files around on the SD card, when you can simply do it over an FTP client? The MemCard PRO can run its own local FTP server which gives you instant access to the whole filesystem of your sd card, without lifting a finger!
.. and an OLED Display!?
Did we mention there is a super-bright OLED display on MemCard PRO? The display can show you the mounted memory card, along with more information like read and write access indicators. It can also show the card's name, which you can set through the WebUI.
Last but not Least...
If you have a modern PlayStation 1 Optical Disc Emulator, it's about to get even more exciting.
MemCard PRO can seamlessly communicate with an ODE and automatically mount the memory card specifically for that game! If it's the first time you're running the game, it will automatically create 8 virtual memory cards for that specific game, and even show the game's name on the display!
We really plan to add more features to MemCard PRO, and everything will be addeed for free, through a firmware update.
Launch Features:
- OLED display that shows the mounted memory card, read/write access indicators and network information
- Supports any microSD card, from 1GB to 1TB. Every GB of storage has enough space for approximately 8000 cards
- WiFi connectivity and remote features through a WebUI
- Switch the active channel through a game pad combination or with the card's physical buttons
- Easy wireless network setup from a wireless device's web browser, by connecting to its access point
- Supports ODE commands for automatic loading, game info and remote control
- High quality manufacturing with an injection molded shell and hard gold plated fingers
- Load the stored memory cards remotely through the WebUI and manage individual blocks
- Easily access and manage the physical files on your MemCard PRO microSD card over an FTP client
Planned Features:*
- Local and Cloud backup functionality through file rotation
- Share saves with your friends
- Download saves and memory cards directly to your MemCard PRO from a URL
- ... more surprises!
IMPORTANT NOTE ON PLAYSTATION 3 ADAPTER COMPATIBILITY:
Due to the limited power supply capabilities of the PlayStation 3 Memory Card adapter, it is unfortunately not supported.
*Planned are based on the capabilities of the MemCard PRO hardware, and may not be implemented.

MemCard Pro for PlayStation 1
The Memcard Pro for the PlayStation 1 is excellent , no more changing memory cards . 8bitMods are fantastic company and I always buy accessories from them .

Really Cool
The thing really looks and acts cool in my PSone. Mine is modded and has the screen with battery attachment to make the whole thing portable and this fits right in. It actually has great utility as well as I usually have to juggle between two or three old memory cards, moving save files I want to keep on to a PC or PS3. Pop a 16 gig SD card and just press the buttons to scroll through a pretty much infinite amount of internal "memory cards" and save as many files as you want.

awsome kit
Works perfect with xstation

Excellent with the XStation!
I build PS1s with the XStation ode mod and this Memory Card goes perfectly with it. Don't have to worry about finding out save card ever again. Highly recommend.

A must have for any ODE owner!
I got a pair of those to integrate them with my M.O.D.E. ODE. I wanted to utilize the automatic creation and switching of the virtual memory cards as well as copy all of my existing savefiles from "real" memory cards over to the virtual ones of the MemCard Pro. The MemCard Pro itself comes in a plastic zip bag in a cushioned little box. The build quality of the card itself is good, it feels sturdy, the micro SD Card slot is spring loaded and the MemCard Pro itself sits just firm enough for it to not slide out on accident but also not too tight for it to get stuck like cheap knock-off memory cards. Included in the box is also a QR code for the digital manual which explains all the features as well as how to set them up. After setting the MemCard Pro up it works like you would expect it to: It automatically creates 8 virtual memory cards through which you can cycle through with the two buttons found on the unit itself, or through a button combination on your controller. It also reliably detects the games you are loading from an ODE and will automatically create and/or mount the memory cards specific to that game. And if you REALLY need to you can always create and/or switch to another set of 8 memory cards via another controller button combination. The WiFi features are a nice bonus and easy to set up as well. With them you can download and manage your virtual memory cards but also configure the hardware and software to your liking, as well as performing firmware updates and enabling FTP access. The UI for the WebApp is also clean and simple. There is just one nitpick that I have with the MemCard Pro: you have to go through the WiFi setup in order to be able to access the WebApp itself. Suppose I take my MemCard Pro over to a friends PS1 that isn't equipped with an ODE, I'd need to set it up in a foreign network just to be able to mount a specific memory card within the WebApp. Another example I could think of is if the user doesn't want to use the WiFi features and just prefers to disable them without having to set them up first. An "Access WebApp" button on the setup screen would be neat for those scenarios. But other than that this is an excellent product and a must have for any ODE owner. After transfering my savegames over to the proper virtual memory cards I no longer have to manually keep track of which memory card holds which savefiles - it does it all for you and better than any human would. The WebApp and FTP access also makes it very easy to backup, restore and modify your savefiles, the possibilities are nearly endless...

Best solution
I have multiple memory cards, but with this card I no longer need the others. I can share data between my PC emulator and PS1 so I can carry data with me.
