I am able to play PS1 games on my lim PS2, but why can't I save the games (even though the card is suitable for a normal PS2 console)?

It's automatic. Remember, that you can't use a PS1 memory card to save PS2 games. A lot of people sell PS1 cards trying to pass them off as PS2. Watch out for them. They will say on the back for what system. When you play a game, it will tell you that there is no saved game on the card, and ask you if you want to make one.

You can't save PS1 games on a PS2 memory card. You need to buy a PS1 memory card to save PS1 games. The PS1 card will plug into the standard memory slot on a PS2, but the insides are different.

this problem will be formed everywere for ps1 this can be fixed by giving this play station for service

your memory card is corrupt and why are you playing ps1 games theyre old

Sorry =(.............well...i dont think that u can save it on a ps2 memory card........maybe if u put a ps1 memory card in the ps2........idk

yes you would need a ps1 memory card to load ps1 game files on ps2

ok, u must have a PS1 memory card in order to save PS1 games. the common PS2 memory card will not save old style game data. for a good place to get a PS1 memory card, a local Gamestop store, or Ebay. good luck man.

uhmm.....now that is a stumper..., ill ask u this: does the PS1 memory card have any space let on it? (is it full)...if not...well then, im at a loss =/

Are you inserting a PS2 or a PS1 memory card?
PS1 games can't use a PS2 card because they don't "understand" how to read them.
To save a PS1 game on a PS2 you will need a PS1 memory card.

I hope this helps, I assume this is what you are referring to with your question.

Your question is somewhat confusing, using a playstation 2 memory card, will have PS2 game saves on it, how would you play PS2 games on a PS1 from the save, you can't. If you just mean you are using a PS2 card for a PS1, the way a PS2 card saves data is different to a PS1 card, so it probably won't work You can use your PS1 memory cards in the PS2. You can only use the PS1 memory cards to save PS1 games that you are playing in your PS2. You can't save any PS2 game data to a PS1 memory card
