The original mymc hasn't been updated since 2007. The mymc+ GUI hasn't seen a commit since 2018. Does that mean the mymc memory card is obsolete?

No. The PS2 emulation standard (the .ps2 file structure) has not changed. Because it is a mature, bug-free tool, it does not need updates. It runs perfectly on Windows 11, Linux (via Wine), and even on Steam Deck's desktop mode.

The only risk is Windows security updates flagging the unsigned 32-bit executable. If that happens, you simply add an exemption to Windows Defender.

The keyword "mymc memory card" represents more than just a utility. It represents the bridge between physical and digital gaming preservation.

Think about it: Without mymc, thousands of game saves from the PS2 era would be locked inside corroding physical memory cards with dying batteries. Thanks to this tool, you can:

It is a small, 500KB executable, but it holds the keys to a generation of gaming history.


While the tool is powerful, it is relatively lightweight. The user experience generally follows this workflow:

Let's say you have a racing save on Mcd001.ps2 and an RPG save on Mcd002.ps2, but you want both on one card. Using CMD-Line mymc (not the GUI), you can merge:

mymc merge Mcd001.ps2 Mcd002.ps2 Merged_Mcd.ps2

This creates a third file containing every unique save from both cards. If the same game appears on both, mymc keeps the most recent version by default.
