Adding/removing generic files to Pcsx2's memory card files

Hello,

Is there any tool for adding generic files to memcard files for Pcsx2 (*.ps2 files)?
I would interested in managing files of any kind (*.elf , *.bmp, whatever) and not only gamesaves (actually, I'm not interested at all at gamesaves...)

I tested an util in the past but it only had support for gamesaves.

unofficial LaunchELF(ULE) can do that but I don't know on which pcsx2 revision the newest Ule started to work again.It's not working on 0.9.6 but it works on the newest beta(old gui)

BTW why do you need this?

Sorry, I forgot to mention I wanted to do it on a PC, not on the PS2.

I wanted to add files to the Pcsx2 memory cards files since I would like to use this emulator to test my homebrew development.

Very often I need to load a file (image, config file, whatever) from a device instead of embedding it at the ELF and at Pcsx2 the only practical device for storage are the mc0: / mc1: .

So before running the ELF which is expecting the files at a storage device I just needed to use the mcx: after copying the required files into the mc image.

A time consuming solution would be using the uLE at the ps2 emulator and copy the files from a CD image to the mc but it would be a pain to build a CD ISO image with the files since the PS2 expects a special formatting...

Well you're going to put the files in some folder in the card right.You can create a save with that folder name(Root/ID)and put the files you want inside the save.

After that you can use for example mymc to put the save inside the card or whatever you used to put saves in the card before.

You can create the save with PS2 Save Builder.

Here's one example:
1.Open the PS2 Save Builder,put your files inside the window and set as Root/ID the name of the folder that will be inside the card.Save as any of the formats that mymc support(don't close the PS2 Save Builder,just save)
2.Create a batch file to import your save to the pcsx2 memory card using the command line version of mymc.

I place saves in ngemu's forum in that way for 5-10 seconds.

Nope, mymc only supports gamesaves files. Or am I wrong?

You are wrong but you must follow my guide to be possible.

Gamesave files are folder with files,the same thing that you want,folder with files inside it.

I totally missed your post, vsub, sorry. I only saw ifcaro's.
Seems a good solution. I'm going to try ASAP.
Thanks
