Do PS1 or PS2 memory cards die over time like cartridges?
I have a PS1, PS2, PSP and a PS3. With an adapter (official, made by Sony), I was able to copy my old file saves from my old games into my PS3, so I can keep them without being erased for long time...
However, I still like to play with my old consoles sometimes, so I also use my old memory cards (from PS1 and PS2). Also, apart from the PS family consoles, I had a GameBoy, but some games' cartridges' batteries died. I am wondering if the PS1 or PS2 memory cards suffer from something similar to this. Will the saves be erased after years?

I Begg to differ with you. But some ps2 memory cards do have a 3 volt battery its a coin battery 1220 it in the at the time top of the line more expensive cards they will have screws to hold them together I know because I have one and the card will not work if the battery dies, but WalMart sells a replacement....hope this helps.

Do PS2 memory cards stop working?
Why is my PS2 memory card not working? Generally, the possible reason can be the improper connection between the memory card and the PS2 console. And the other possible reason could be the corrupted memory card.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.How many games can you store on a PS2 memory card?
The PS2 memory card has enough storage for at least 15 game saves on average. However, it would be much better if it had more space than 8MB on it.How many games can a PS1 memory card hold?
Kelvari. Unfortunately, the PS1 memory card doesn't use "MB" for storage. It uses "Blocks". Any game save will take a bare minimum of 1 block, so you could have 15 game saves taking up half the available memory of the memory card, but still be unable to put anything more on it.Memory Cards - Scott The Woz
