MX4SIO lets PS2 owners with homebrew-enabled systems play their games from a Memory Card port with either an SD or Micro SD card (depending on the MX4SIO model)! With my HDMI-modded PS2 Slim, the MX4SIO is a perfect companion option for playing games out of the house instead of relying on network loading. With exFAT support for larger SD cards, it is a nice way to load up a ton of PS2 Games without much hassle! MX4SIO support has come a long way since it was first introduced but it still has lower compatibility compared to internal drives found on the PS2 Phats.
