Each PS2 console, both old and slim, provides two USB ports. You can plug any regular USB drive and copy the content of the memory card. All you need now is a special software.

There are several kind of softwares that let you copy your saved games to an USB drive, and vice versa. One of them is Datel’s MaxDrive.
