I never thought the software would still work with windows 10. I will try this when I have the chance. Do you still use dexdrive?They still sell the DexDrive on Amazon for $25, which does work with Windows 10 so long as you have a Serial to USB adapter, and the Dexter software is still available at various sites.
If it doesn't work in Windows 10, you should be able to setup a small XP VM and then passthrough USB and connect it up that way, as well.
I will try this if the dexdrive doesn't work. I never heard of the arduino-based method before.The arduino-based reader, I guess (or a PS2 that can run homebrew + a flash drive)
Short answer? Yes. Detailed answer?Would a homebrew ps2 definitely allow me to transfer ps1 saves back and forth without any difficulty?
For PS1, yeah: https://github.com/ticky/ps3mca-ps1Couldn't the PS3 memory card reader work? That's assuming windows 10 drivers have been written for it...
Well, which model (scph-*)?Thank you for your answers. Is there a reliable thread on how to hack my ps2?
Could you explain how to use the drivers from the link you posted? I wouldn't know how to operate the ps3 memory card adapter with it. I'm most likely going to hack my ps2 though.For PS1, yeah: https://github.com/ticky/ps3mca-ps1
For PS2, you need to implement Mag1cgate authentication to even read/write regular unsigned saves, which $ony is quite strongly litigious against

It's (mostly) explained at the linked page, you'd need to compile the program yourself for your operating system firstCould you explain how to use the drivers from the link you posted? I wouldn't know how to operate the ps3 memory card adapter with it. I'm most likely going to hack my ps2 though.
If you want to install FMCB the traditional ways (with an exploitable game + a modified backup of it, or alternatively with a boot disc like the newest Swap Magic Coder or others) yes you'd need a working optical drive; of course you can also send your memory card to a volunteer to have it installed, or buy a preprogrammed card on ebayI have to ps2 slims. One has a broken disc drive but i’d rather use that for the hacking. Do you need to use any disc for hacking? If yes, I’ll tell you the model for my good one.
The model for my bad one is 70012
I’d rather use the memory card since that sounds easier. I wouldn’t mind sending my memory card to a volunteer, but it would probably be easier to buy it off ebay (since I don’t know anyone who would do that). Does the model of the ps2 matter if I’m only using a memory card?It's (mostly) explained at the linked page, you'd need to compile the program yourself for your operating system first

If your SCPH-90000 series console is a R-chassis model, it may not support FMCB/FHDB.I’d rather use the memory card since that sounds easier.
