Hi, I've noticed that I have run out of room on my virtual memory card. Since 3rd parties have released 64mb memory cards for the ps2, can someone tell me where I can get a 64mb (or higher) virtual memory card so my saves dont have to span across multiple different virtual memory cards?

The current beta version of PCSX2 already supports up to 64MB memcards.
Just create one, format it in the BIOS and use it Tongue2

You might have to delete one of you memcards (or rename one), before you can create a new one. This is how it is for me atleast.

What do you mean by this? Youve never seen it? If you press the create button in the memcard manager you get to select the size of the memcards from 8-64mb.

By default PCSX2 just creates 8MB cards by itself (if there's no memcard files already that is), if you do it manually then it shows the options to create 8/16/32/64MB cards. 64MB ones are not so compatible however, 32MB ones seem to be fine most of the time tho.

Pretty much. Some games will say there is no space left or that there's no memory card present, others will just right out crash or not allow advancement when trying to read/save to a 64MB card.
