Unlike the 8MB limit of physical PS2 cards, folder cards grow with your saves.

By moving beyond the default PCSX2 settings, embracing folder-based memory cards, mastering tools like mymc , and establishing a backup routine, you transform your emulation experience from "it works" to "it works flawlessly."

In modern PCSX2 versions, you can right-click a game in your list and set a specific 8MB card for just that game. This prevents one card from getting cluttered with dozens of different titles.
