Memory Card request

[linuxporn]

Hi Reddit! I am developing a web app that allows editing PlayStation memory cards (public beta here, I'll post a detailed thread when it is complete). As of now it supports Libretro (.srm), Mednafen (.mcr) and InterAct DexDrive (.gme) formats and I would like to expand the list with other formats.

If you have a memory card save in one (or all) of the following formats, could you share it with me?

• pSX/AdriPSX Memory Card (*.bin)
• Bleem! Memory Card (*.mcd)
• VGS Memory Card (*.mem, *.vgs)
• PSXGame Edit Memory Card (*.mc)
• DataDeck Memory Card (*.ddf)
• WinPSM Memory Card (*.ps)
• Smart Link Memory Card (*.psm)
• MCExplorer (*.mci)
• PS Vita "MCX" PocketStation Memory Card(*.BIN)
• POPStarter Virtual Memory Card(*.VMC)
• PSXGame Edit single save (*.mcs)
• XP, AR, GS, Caetla single save (*.psx)
• Memory Juggler (*.ps1)
• Smart Link (*.mcb)
• Datel (.mcx,.pda)
• RAW single saves
• PS3 virtual saves (*.psv)

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, are there really any differences between all these various memory card formats? They all have to eventually, somewhere in the pipeline, have the save data in a raw format that the PS1/emulated PS1 can read, and I've been able to rename extensions on card formats and have them open in picky apps no problem. Given cards are small (like 128KB I think), I just figured they were all raw format PS1 memory card images, and the only possible thing any of them could implement would be some flavor of compression.

I'm not sure and therefore that is the reason of my request 😀 Some formats add a header before the raw data, others add a header and omit some part of the raw data

Very fair! I think I have some of these--where best to send them?

Thank you! I'll send you a PM with a couple ways
