Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 system. You can load saved game data from the same memory card or any memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) containing previously saved games.
This game is designed for use with the separately sold PlayStation 2 Memory Card (8MB). Do not turn the PlayStation 2 console off or try to remove the PlayStation 2 Memory Card (8MB) while saving and loading game data. Controllers
Both games are for one to two players and can be used with a DUALSHOCK analog controller and a DUALSHOCK 2 analog controller. When playing the game, insert the controller you want to use into PlayStation 2 Slot 1. When playing with a second player, insert another controller into PlayStation 2 Slot 2. Commands are described herein for the DUALSHOCK 2 analog controller. Both games were designed solely for use with the vibration function of the analog controller and cannot be used in analog mode. The controller vibrates if the analog controller's LED is on or off. The vibration function can be switched on or off using the Key Config in the Game Options Mode (see p. 9).
When using a PlayStation controller, the basic commands are the same as for those of the analog controller. Note that PlayStation controllers have no vibration function.
You can reset the game during game play by pushing the START and SELECT buttons together.
