How to Save PlayStation Games on a PS2 Card

The PlayStation 2 console supports both PlayStation (PS1) and PS2 games. However, it does not allow PS1 games to directly save onto a PS2 memory card. The limited file storage of the PS1 memory card does not allow players to save data from many games on it. It is possible, however, to save PS1 games to a PS2 memory card, using the PS2 browser to take advantage of the larger storage size.
