How to Save PS2 Games to a USB Drive

The Sony PlayStation (PS2) utilizes special memory cards to save game data and information. Sony designed the memory cards specifically for the PS2, and most computers or other devices have no interface connection for them. However, with a special adapter you can quickly connect your PS2 memory card to a computer and even copy game data to a hard drive or even a USB flash drive.
