Scenario: You want to play a game with all characters unlocked.
Note on PC Synergy:
The PS2 memory card structure is complex. If you have access to a PC, use the program mymc-plus on your computer to open your Android .ps2 file, drag and drop your new saves into it, save the file, and copy it back to your phone. This remains the most reliable method in 2024.
The most reliable software for this is an app aptly named "PS2 Classic Save Tools" (available on the Play Store or via open-source repositories). This is the Swiss Army knife you need.
Here is what you can do from your phone screen:
Looking ahead, developers are working on integrating PS2 Memory Card Editors with Google Drive. Imagine this:

Fast forward to 2025, and emulation has breathed new life into these classics. However, managing those precious save files has traditionally required a PC, a USB thumb drive, and a modded console. But what if you could do it all from your pocket?
