The command line utility can be invoked from the Windows Command
Prompt by using the "mymc" command. The executable "mymc.exe" and
number of support files and these file must kept together in the same
directory. To run the command you need to either add the directory
where you unpacked the distribution to your PATH or type the full
pathname of the executable. For example if you unpacked mymc to a
directory named "c:\mymc" you need to enter "c:\mymc\mymc.exe" to run
the program.
GUI TUTORIAL
============
The GUI for mymc is should be easy to use. After starting mymc, you
can select the PS2 memory card image you want to work with by
selecting the "Open" command by pressing the first button on the
toolbar. You can then import a save file clicking on the Import
toolbar button. To export a save files, first select it and then
press the Export button. You can delete a save file permanently from
your memory card, by selecting the "Delete" command from the File
menu.
Do not try to use mymc to modify a memory card image while PCSX2 is
running. Doing so will corrupt your memory card.
The basic usage template for mysc is "mymc memcard.ps2 command". The
first argument, "memcard.ps2" is the filename of the memory card image
while "command" is the name of the command you wish to use on the
image. So for example, assuming you've installed mymc in "c:\mymc"
and you've installed PCSX2 in "c:\pcsx2" you could enter the following
command to see the contents of the memory card in the emulator's slot

As mentioned above, if you know the directory name of a save, you can
export it. Exporting a save creates a save file in either the EMS
(.psu) or MAX Drive (.max) format. You can then transfer the save to
real PS2 memory using the appropriate tools. You can also send the
saves to someone else to use or just keep them on your hard drive as a
backup. The following command demonstrates how to export a save in
the EMS format using mymc:
ADVANCED NOTES
==============
- To get general help with the command line utility use the "-h"
global option (eg. "mymc -h"). To get help with a specific
command use the "-h" option with that command (eg. "mymc x
import -h"). In this later case, you need to specify a memory
card image file, but it's ignored and so doesn't need to exist.
- It's possible to use mymc create images that are bigger (or
smaller) than standard PS2 memory cards. Be very careful if you
do this, not all games may be compatible with such images.
- The PS2 only uses at most 8,000 KB of a memory card, but there
is actually 8,135 KB of allocatable space on a standard
error-free memory card. The extra 135 KB is reserved so that
memory card with bad blocks don't appear to have less space than
memory cards with fewer or no bad blocks. Since there are no
bad blocks on memory card images, mymc uses the full capacity
provided by standard memory cards.
