Extended review of the Memor32 memory card and Memento Firmware.
Ill first begin with the Memor32 unit itself... and then move onto the memento firmware and other features that can be used with it.
The Memor32 has a overall top notch build quality... it doesnt feel cheap and for a change... when i plug a usb cord into it, it acually has a nice and snug fit.
The Savegame Manager ( SGM ) is not only eye pleasing, it is also really easy to use and understand. Basically, "Import" and "Export" features if you have a ".max" or another person's ".m32" save, and a "Backup" and "Restore" to move saves to and from the memory card.
Final Thoughts:
I really didnt think I was going to be too impressed, but boy was I wrong. It really does help with managing your game saves ( esspecially if you have loads of ps2 games ). The only thing i wish they would have included was atleast a usb cord and maybe instructions... but i understand that would have increased the products cost...
Pros:
- Build quality is top notch... Feels great, looks great and pretty much is great!
- Ability to export and import saves. ( So you have hardcopies of your saves just incase you need more room. )
- Ease of use. ( Wether you are new or old, its easy to understand. )
Cons:
- No USB cable
- No Software
- No Instructions
- Price ( but I suppose it pays itself off by allowing gamesave management )
-Memento Firmware-
Memento is a optional software that you can install onto the Memor32 card, which allows you in a sense to have the abilities of a modchip without the hassel of opening up the ps2 to put one in.
