How to Turn a PS2 Memory Card Into a USB
The Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) uses a memory card as its primary storage device. Although the memory card is made to function just with a PlayStation 2, it is possible to connect the device to a computer and use it as a USB flash drive. Although the flash drive would probably be smaller in memory than most flash drives you can purchase, having a PS2 memory card as a flash drive allows you to transport both your saved game information and content from your computer.
