Message: [QUOTE="KingCarnage, post: 340639, member: 30783"] The only issue with using USB is FMVs stuttering on games like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X (having really intense FMV cutscenes for some reason), the gameplay might be fine but watching FMV cutscenes can get frustrating if it continuously hitches. Even with MX4SIO there are hitches on those games but it never was an issue on the PSXMemCard Gen2. I posted the table on one of my earlier posts as well with what kinds of speeds you can get from each device and USB barely breaks reaches 1000 KB/S. [MEDIA=youtube]ucDNykNh8RA[/MEDIA] There are also mini routers with SMB support which usually has a USB port or sd card slot, it's more convenient than having to use your PC as a server for PS2 games. But in case you want to play online through fan made servers (I.E. Monster Hunter, Resident Evil Outbreak, etc.) you have to load games through another method so it isn't a catch all option but pretty much the fastest for the slim if you don't ever plan to go online. The PSXMemCard Gen2 is the mass produced version of the SD2PSX open source project for making a multipurpose memory card emulator. It even has MagicGate support in which FreeMcBoot requires to prevent corruption. I never had any of my FreeMcBoot vmcs get corrupted since it automatically gets swapped out if you have the Game ID feature on. Since the PSXMemCard Gen2 also has an sd card, backing up your saves is just taking the card out and copying the contents to another device. Still having extra memory cards is a good idea just for moving saves more elegantly from one VMC to another instead of fiddling with WLaunchELF. I also swapped to using neutrino as a boot exploit through NHDDL to launch games since it's just faster by booting into the game launcher (be it OPL or NHDDL) directly so no corruption issues to fear for.
