Russian Hackers Memento give Memor 32 PS2 memory card mod-chip functions
October 29, 2007We have received a tip from what we presume to be Russian hackers (based on their site domain) which indicates they have successfully hacked the Memor 32 memory card for PS2 in order to enable it to have the power of a PS2 mod chip. This means that imports, homebrew and backups will now be possible if you flash their hacked BIOS onto the PS2 Memor 32 memory card. The user interface is reportedly not complete but they are working on improving things. Currently they have upload a PAL beta of their hack for the Memor 32. The Memor 32 features 32MB of memory and a USB port so it is possible to just flash this hack from Memento right onto the card within a few seconds. Spread the word and DIGG THIS!
