PCSX2 save game location — quick reference

Default save types used by PCSX2

• Memory card files — for standard PS2 saves (virtual memory cards, commonly .ps2 or .mc).
• In-game save states — PCSX2's slot-based snapshots (files like SS_Slot0.bin or state-slotX.p2s depending on version).
• Game-specific exported saves — some games can export/import saves as files inside their virtual memory card; PCSX2 also supports converting between formats.
