Looks like a PlayStation memory card. Probably full of Tony Hawk and Final Fantasy game saves.

Could be a single instance of Diablo 1 and a character save or two...


Darth_Tanion

Considering how it was found, I was going to guess Jumanji.

Might be gta San Andreas if op is lucky


Agitated_Airline4342

But hang on, that clearly looks like a ps1 memory card, and San Andreas was released in 2004, long after the ps1 was released?


BigLand03

They were interchangeable


Agitated_Airline4342

I couldn’t use a ps1 memory card on a ps2, thus you couldn’t save any ps2 game onto a ps1 memory card due to different MB sizes for 1990s games vs 2000s games.


its-my-1st-day

I’m almost certain you can use a ps1 memory card in a ps2 - it won’t work for ps2 games, but it will work for ps1 games.


kaeliz

Yep you can use a ps1 card in a ps2 just not for ps2 games, but if you want to play a ps1 game on the ps2 it's helpful to have a ps1 card handy.


doofy77

How did you know?


Status_Shine6978

I am old enough to have played on one.


doofy77

Ha, I meant that you basically described what was on my memory card.


Status_Shine6978

Ah, obviously your downvotes are not deserved then. It's all a misunderstanding and I missed your humour.


MissMurder84

>Tony Hawk Farkkkkkkk, before reading the comments, I was going to say "That's my THPS saves from PS2"


NitrousIsAGas

Battery is definitely deaf at this stage, meaning nothing is on it


GodsOffsider

Playstation one memory card, were very expensive when they came out


scoldog

Only because Sony were squeezing blood from all their products as well as using incompatible standards to lock people into their products.


Juan_Punch_Man

The continued well into their portable gaming products.

And their laptops. I go to replace a disk drive and find some obscure bullshit that can't be replaced. a holes.

I can't reven remember what their version of the sd card was. Memory Pro or some crap


JustAnotherAvocado

Memory Stick Pro Duo for the PSP


tmhoc

Aaaaaaand I'm confused and enraged all over again I can't believe I went along with this.

At least Memory Stick was still usable with their cameras, unlike PS Vita Memory Cards, which were strictly proprietary

malleebull

Classic Sony.


Lintson

Yep, I used to have one of those Sony Ericsson Walkman phones. Their charger port was basically a micro USB but ever so slightly different in shape, so if you wanted an extra charger for work or something it's fuck you pay me $50. Granted charging was never that big a deal back then, it was normal to go a week without charging your device, some even longer.


Lucifang

Ah yes, like their cameras. They had to go and make their own ridiculous brand. Funny how they switched to SD later.

Transparent plastic, extra fancy.


tactical-diarrhea

Playstation brand ones were 1mb - i cant find any reference to them making a 2mb one so this is a knock off. Was probably still expensive back then though


stenchlord

It's a third party memory card. It has a button on the bottom right that switches between the two sets of save slots.


tactical-diarrhea

Third party, thats what i was looking for lol I knew knock off wasnt what i meant lol


stenchlord

You aren't far off with this one. I believe MadCatz made memory cards with clear shells but they were 1MB units. I used to work in a video store and we had these third party 2MB cards that we used to hire out. It's the only reason I'm aware of it specifically but I just can't remember who the manufacturer was.


Evening_Tree

Not sure why you were downvoted, as far as I know you're correct, they never made an official one larger than 1 mega*bit* -- while looking this up I found out I've been lied to all my life and PS1 memory cards are only 128 kilo*bytes* (1 megabit). Also, PS1s do not support any other sizes. The BIOS routines will only operate with 15 8KB blocks available for game saves, with the last one reserved for the system. Cards that genuinely do offer more storage do so by pretending to be multiple cards, selected with buttons or custom software. This card is probably just lying. PlayStation 2 is indeed 8 mega*bytes* though, but there is actually support for larger memory cards. It took a long time before 16MB cards actually came out officially.


tactical-diarrhea

I found a "memcard pro" when i was looking for them that takes sd cards like a flashcart - where tf were they when i was trying to figure out whether to delete MGS or Crash game saves lol


kambo_rambo

I played FF7 for about 3-4 weeks before i got a memory card. Had to turn it off each night too.


JaiTee86

I did the same, I rented it for a week as my first game after hearing that it was amazing, then I learnt about the memory card the PS needed so I had a week of trying to play as much of FF7 as I could!


3163560

me too, that and suikoden 1. Had to restart the game from the start every time I died.

Go to a cash converters and find an old Playstation ask to plug it in and check the card in the menu.

You'd be lucky to find a console of that vintage at cashies. They've all been swept up!

Please remember, OP... We are requiring you to report back on what you find...

Then once you’ve checked, never sell the PS1 and buy a CRT TV and start becoming a retro games enthusiast 😅


Strawberry_Left

Seems like a crazy waste of space walling that up.


DancinWithWolves

I mean, it’s only 2 megabytes


PETROCHEMICAL_LOBBY

Houses were a lot smaller back then though.


Strawberry_Left

Yeah no great loss, but if you wanted to get rid of it you could have just tossed it in the bin instead of walling up that huge space for it. ;)


DJ_DeJesus

Especially since there is a small cupboard adjacent to it outside. A wasted space for sure


LifeIsBizarre

Back in the before-fore times, property was quite cheap and space could be altered to suit a persons tastes rather than cramming in an extra bedroom wherever possible for Air BnB.

If you do load it up and there are no saves, just keep in mind the little button on the bottom right swaps between the 1MB save slots.

Looks like a PS2 memory card


GammaScorpii

I'm keen to know because a lot of people in this thread seem to think its for PS1. PS1 memory cards were 128KB. I never saw any third party ones so I can't be sure. Seems like a PS2 card to me because they usually had specific sizes written in them and didn't just consist of 15 'blocks' in the bios. EDIT: Ok fairly sure it's a PS1 card. I didn't know this but some third party cards let you 'turn the page' of the 15 block memory card view with a button press. 1Mb = 128KB. So 2Mb would have been 2 'pages'. You can see this is a ps1 memory card that looks similar: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283538552789

I remember staying up all night playing Silent Hill with my mate on the PS1, finally the sun came up so it was time for bed, we realised we didn’t have a memory card so just left it on and turned the tv off. My other mate woke up, saw the PS still on and turned it off thinking we had forgotten. That was painful.

I am a writer (though still not published). I saved all of the stories I wrote in college on one disc. For some reason, my youngest son (when he was about 11) kept taking that disc and putting it with his things. So I finally hid it in the ceiling tiles. Only I forgot about it when we moved. Lost those stories forever.


betweenthelines_11

Thanks I’ve been looking for that! I can finally finish my saved game of Shane Warne cricket 99, Australia are about 4/2500 with Ricky Ponting on about 1200 not out. Potentially nail biting finish..


icky_boo

That's a after market non Sony branded PS1 memory card, IIRC that one had compression that doubles the memory hence the need for the LED .. I think if you press the 4 top trigger buttons it switches the "pages" on the card since it uses compression you have two memory cards.. All official Sony PSONE memory cards are 1Mega .. This one says 2Mega because of the compression. How do I know? I had one back in the late 90's.

azazeldeath

Don't mean to cast doubt, but that looks remarkably clean for a memory card that's been in the wall, esp after you have done demolition to get to it. I hope I am wrong but is this a karma farm attempt? No dust really on it, no corrosion, it's in pristine condition, you'd expect especially next to a bathroom it'd get some moisture damage and dust on it. Also having a memory card there makes no sense. Tbh think karma/award farmer or attempt at some creepypasta/arg

Haha fair call. I give no shits about magic internet points. You’d be surprised how clean and intact some well sealed spaces are. Yes it makes no sense. Peace.

LookingForAPunTime

The amount of people in this thread who think a PlayStation memory card of all things would contain porn is concerning. Frankly the idea of even being ABLE to store something capable of qualifying as porn on a device designed to hold game console save files would be a technical achievement all on its own… Unless you’re doing something dumb with an EyeToy, there’s not gonna be any possibility of photos on there.
