PSX Memory Card Manager is a very simple Playstation memory card image manipulation tool with a GUI. Combined with the right hardware, transfering data to and from a real memory card is also possible.

This software was intially Linux-only but it now also runs under Windows.

PSX Memory Card Manager uses the Qt Gui toolkit. Here are a few screenshots:

Software

• Linux
• Qt4 with Qt3 compatiblity
• C++ compiler and mostly standard build utils (make, pkg-config)

Hardware

This software can also access a memory card connected to a parallel port. The requirements to use this feature are:

• A PC with a working parallel port
• The hardware interface (see below)
• A memory card

To enable memory card I/O, PSX Memory Card Manager uses the Playstation Peripheral Bus Library(psxpblib), by Richard Davies. Therefore, PSX Memory Card Manager should be compatible with all hardware interfaces psxpblib supports.

But the only interface I have tested is the Direct Pad Pro interface. Here is the schematic:


Pictures of a working interface are available here.

At the moment, PSX Memory card manager has the following features implemented:

• Open/Save raw memory card images (*.mc, *.mcr)
• Import .gme files(dexdrive)
• Open/Save single game files(*.mcs)
• Edit Product Code and Game ID
• Delete and Undelete
• Memory Card I/O
