Are there actually different PS1 Memory Card versions/revisions?

Are there actually different PS1 Memory Card versions/revisions? - From below closeup of various blurred vertical photos in collage placed next to each other

Based on this answer:

If I remember correctly; The Slim version supports only the PS/X(1995-1999)version memory cards, not the PSOne(2000-2500) version ones. This could be your problem.

  • Are there actually different versions of the PS1 Memory Cards?
  • What are the difference between them?
  • How do you identify the different versions/revisions?
  • Are there any forward/backward compatibility problems? (I see that the PS2 Slim BC is one)

Are PS1 and PS2 memory cards the same?

Does anyone know? No, PS1 and PS2 memory cards are separate. You can back up PS1 saves to a PS2 memory card, but you'd have to copy it back to the PS1 memory card to use it. You can't actually use the PS2 memory card while playing PS1 games.
