In a previous video we looked at building and using PicoMemcard, an open source project from developer dangiu which emulates an original PlayStation memory card using a Raspberry Pi Pico or RP2040-Zero board. However we’re revisiting the project this time around to build out PicoMemcard+, still based on the original project, but this time supercharged with microSD card functionality and controller mappings! PicoMemcard+ shatters the limitation of a single Memory Card image being stored at a time by allowing virtually an infinite amount of Memory Card storage. PicoMemcard+ also allows for button combinations which allow you to select which Memory Card image to mount, and create new Memory Card images on the fly!
