Using with an ODE

An Optical Drive Emulator is a device that allows playing your

backups through a microSD card, a USB drive or a Hard Disk

drive or SSD. These devices usually have a "launcher" menu

system, where they list the available games on their storage

medium. Selecting a game launches it, either by completely

resetting the console, or by using a technique called "FastBoot"

which can load the game without a reset.

MemCard PRO implements a proprietary protocol, that allows

such a device to send the unique Game ID that is being

launched to the card. This allows MemCard PRO to identify

which game is being launched, and automatically create a VMC

for that speciﬁc game. If the VMC already exists, it will mount it,

making it easy to forget about switching to the right VMC that

has your game saves for that speciﬁc game.

Furthermore, it allows MemCard PRO to make use of its internal

game database, and show the full name of the game you are

playing.

At the moment of writing, the "XStation ODE" has released an

update that adds support for GameID, while "Mode" and

"PSIO" are working on adding support as well.

You don't need to do anything to enable this functionality. It is

enabled by default, when an ODE is detected.

Limitations & Exceptions

While every effort has been made to add all known games to

the database, some may still be missing. If you ﬁnd a game that

shows the GameID instead of a full name on the display, please

let us know, and we will add it with a ﬁrmware update.

Known limitations:

• Homebrew games and translations / conversions may not

have been mastered with a GameID. If that's the case,

MemCard PRO will revert to the ﬁrst available generic VMC

(MemoryCard1). You can reach out to the developers and ask

them to assign a dummy ID, which we can then assign in the

database for proper identiﬁcation

• At the moment, you can switch to a generic card in-game

with the previously mentioned game pad combos, but there

is no game pad combo to return to the automatic card once

this is done. You can return to the game-speciﬁc VMC by

restarting the game and launching through the ODE's

launcher app, or by manually mounting it in the WebUI.

• GameID is only possible when paired with an ODE, Unirom

or FreePSXBoot with Unirom. The latter two can be used to

auto-switch VMCs even when booting an original CD-ROM!
