If you are using the standalone installer version of PCSX2, it creates directories in your user documents folder. To make it truly portable:
if not default_path.exists(): # Ask user for PCSX2 portable path from tkinter import filedialog path = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select PCSX2 Portable Directory") if not path: sys.exit(1) default_path = Path(path)
def restore_from_collection(self): collection = self.restore_collection_combo.get() if collection: try: self.portable.restore_from_collection(collection) messagebox.showinfo("Success", f"Restored memory card from collection") except Exception as e: messagebox.showerror("Error", str(e)) pcsx2 save file collection memory card 1 portable
Click or Change Folder and select the portable/memcards directory you created.
Save files are region-locked. A save file from a North American version of a game ( SCUS or SLUS ) will not load if you boot the European ( SLES ) or Japanese ( SLPM ) version of the game. Always double-check your game IDs before injecting saves into your collection. Share public link If you are using the standalone installer version
