- 'Toast' Memory Card. Any fix?

Interfacing to a PS2 Port
What a coincidence, I'm working on a similar project myself. After a bit of code cleanup I will be pushing to github, but in the meantime I recommend taking a look at PicoMemcard. The Playstation 1 and 2 use the same communication protocol for both the controller and memory card.

A friend of mine move out to a more nomadic life, and offered me all his old co sole for my b-day ! 3 raspberry pi pico are on the way !
1 pico for the PlayStation to use as a PicoMemcard a custom memcard for the PSX, which allow to boot freepsxboot, an exploit to load backup cd

USB controller to PlayStation 2 adapter
Regardless of jokes, even for only 8MB PS2 memory card emulation the PicoMemcard author (https://github.com/dangiu/PicoMemcard) claims the Pi Pico is not enough without extra components! :)

New model of the MemCard PRO no longer has FPGA?
Also, they won't admit it publicly, but competing open source projects like PicoMemcard are probably what pushed them to find more competitive pricing solutions.
- Best memory card for PS1?
-
Xstation or mode
If you're savvy you can make one. https://github.com/dangiu/PicoMemcard
- can I softmod a playstation 1 with freePSXboot without a PS2?

Created my first PicoMemcard plus
The creator is dangiu from https://github.com/dangiu/PicoMemcard. check em out 😁

Made my own psx memory card. It works!
This is very easy DIY project created my dangiu on github called PicoMemcard. I followed his instructions for RPI 2040 and it just works! The best part you can read and write memory card images to it directly via USB! That means easy backups and easy imports of saves from emulators etc.

PS1 Programming Course with MIPS Assembly and C
There are homebrew tools that can be installed on a PS1 memory card [1] and allow for executables to be loaded from a host machine into RAM through the serial port on the back of the console, in a similar way to what Sony's official Net Yaroze loader did back in the day. These tools can also use undocumented CD-ROM drive commands to disable region checks without the need for a modchip, provide semihosting (host filesystem access) and so on.
On the PS2 it's slightly more complicated, as there is no way to launch the "native" PS1 backwards compatibility mode other than to use a modchip (or firmware mod on some models) and burn the executable onto a disc; the serial port is not exposed either, making debugging much harder. It can still be done, but it's much easier to just use an actual PS1.

Tonyhax isn’t opening on PSX (SCPH-9001)
I just tried it myself, using an unmodded SCPH-9001, and original CD (Tomb Raider II, NTSC:U/C to be precise) and a burned copy of the Unirom 8.0K installer disc (from https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/unirom8_bootdisc_and_firmware_for_ps1/releases/), and it booted without problems.

PSA: You don’t need a modchip. There are softmods for PS1.

read burned disc without modding?
Burn a CD with the latest unirom CD: https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/unirom8_bootdisc_and_firmware_for_ps1
- MemCard Pro with original discs- hard to organize?
-
can I softmod a playstation 1 with freePSXboot without a PS2?
Yes. An alternative would be to swap trick with original game and the UNIROM burned disc. You can download it from its GitHub page. https://github.com/JonathanDotCel/unirom8_bootdisc_and_firmware_for_ps1
- How do you use the GameShark cartridge for backups? I have the lid button taped down, and original game in, but the disc never stops spinning to allow swapping in the backup. Neither at the main menu or any of these available options causes it to stop spinning. It’s version 1.99 GS cart on 5501 PS1.
- Can anyone translate this error?

Is there a way to potentially recover these saves?
- Unirom also has a memory card manager that let's you see and undelete saves. You need either a CD-R with Unirom burned to it (on a modchipped PS or with a swap trick), or a memory card with FreePSXBoot using Unirom (on any non-chipped PS).
What are some alternatives?
PicoBoot - Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) based IPL replacement modchip for GameCube
memcardrex - Advanced PlayStation 1 Memory Card editor
BlueRetroHW - Kicad for BlueRetro project
tonyhax - Japanese/American/European Universal PS1 Backup loader fork for ALL PS1 consoles, and PS2 console models SCPH-10000-SCPH-39004.
ps2-pi-pad - USB controller to PlayStation 2 adapter with Raspberry Pi
FreePSXBoot - Exploit to allow loading arbitrary code on the PSX using only a memory card (no game needed)
memcarduino - Arduino PlayStation 1 Memory Card reader
pcsx-redux - The PCSX-Redux project is a collection of tools, research, hardware design, and libraries aiming at development and reverse engineering on the PlayStation 1. The core product itself, PCSX-Redux, is yet another fork of the Playstation emulator, PCSX.
