Memory Cards
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2. You can load saved game data from the same card, or from any memory card containing previously saved games.
At least 230Kb of free space must be available on the memory card in order to save game data. If there is not 230Kb of free space available, then some older game data must be erased before saving.
Do not remove the memory card or turn off the power on the PlayStation®2 while data is being saved or loaded. Your game data may be lost if you do.
For more information, see "Saving & Loading Game Data" on page 21.
