ENGLISH EXPERT INSTALLATION GUIDE

 

Getting started

  1. Insert the Memor32 into your PS2 memory card slot (take any games out before you do)
  2. Go into the PS2 browser and format the memory card (it should be unformatted)
  3. Connect your Memor32 up to your computer via a usb cable. The memory card will NOT appear as a usb hardrive, even though it will make that nice USB sound :)
  4. Your Operating system will probably not be able to install the drivers so you will need to manually download them for your OS here, or if you have Windows 2000 and above, you can just click here and we have mirrored the 2MB download here.
  5. Download the latest firmware zip file from the Download Section of the Website.  Or if you have an Aussie PS2, you can Download this file here.
  6. Extract the contents. There should be 4 files or so.
  7. One of them is MementoFW_xxxx.exe click on it and it should pop up with a little screen.      Image:flashmemento.JPG 
  8. Click update, and it will sit there for 10~30 seconds or so while it dumps the firmware on the Memor32
  9. Your Memor32 is now ready to go

Issues?

  1. When you open the Firmware program to update the memor32, make sure you don't have any programs hogging the drivers, i.e. Save Game Manager.
  2. Ps2 lasers are pretty poor quality. Burning your backups on high quality discs will help the life of your laser. DVD-R Verbatiums are our choice.
  3. Some games just don't work yet, the firmware is still a work in progress, but we are working hard to improve compatibility with each release.
  4. Got a dual layer game? download ToxicDualLayerPatcher to patch the game before applying the memento patch.
