There’s been another firmware update released for the MemCard Pro2; A new memory card that works with the PlayStation 1, 2 and 3 (via USB save transfer). The main addition to this firmware allows you to setup a Virtual Memory Card with all your favorite preferences set, then have the MCP2 use it as a template for any new card created. There’s also faster firmware installation, an options to flip the display and quite a few other changes – Check below the links for a full list:

To install the firmware update, download this .zip file and extract the mcp2.bin file and the “os” folder to the root of your microSD card. On boot, the firmware update should start automatically, and once successfully completed, your MemCard PRO2 will restart. The mcp2.bin file will be deleted automatically, and the “os” folder will remain on the card. Once the update is complete, if there are any .bin files remaining on the root of your sd card, you can safely delete them.
DO NOT START ANY GAMES OR THE MEMORY CARD BROWSER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS FINISHED.
