The MemCard PRO2 implements a common communication
protocol, that allows home-brew to send the unique Game ID
that is being launched to the card. This allows the MemCard
PRO2 to identify which game is being launched, and
automatically create a VMC for that specific game. If the VMC
already exists, it will mount it, making it easy to forget about
switching to the right VMC that has your game saves for that
specific game.
Furthermore, it allows the MemCard PRO2 to make use of its
internal game database, and show the full name of the game
you are playing.
You don’t need to do anything to enable this functionality. It is
enabled by default, when a game is launched via a home-brew
launcher, from any storage method.
While every effort has been made to add all known games to
the database, some may still be missing. If you find a game that
shows the GameID instead of a full name on the display, please
let us know, and we will add it with a firmware update.
Known limitations:
• In the case where the MemCard PRO2 cannot determine the
GameID of the game being launched, it will revert to the first
available generic VMC (MemoryCard1). If you think that the
game ID is detected correctly in your home-brew launcher,
but not detected by the MemCard PRO2, please reach out to
us and we will add it to the database in the next firmware
update.
• GameID is only possible when paired with a compatible
home-brew launcher. At the moment of writing, the only
compatible home-brew launcher is OPL, however this has
not yet been merged in the official branch. (Credit for the
