How to open PS2 file?
The most common problem when using PCSX2 Memory Card Format is that a specific PS2 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PS2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PS2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install mymc
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that mymc is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name mymc into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PS2 files.
Programs to open PS2 file
Remember to download programs supporting PS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of mymc with PS2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PS2 file to open in the mymc application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PS2 file with the mymc program.
Step 3. Update mymc to the latest version
If, despite the association of the mymc program with the PCSX2 Memory Card Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PS2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PS2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PS2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PS2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PS2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PS2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PS2 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PS2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PS2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PS2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PS2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PS2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
