MemCard PRO GC for GameCube

It is finally here!
The brand new MemCard PRO GC for the original GameCube console is the last Memory Card you will ever need!
No more piles of memory cards, no more guessing where your precious save is, and no more corrupt saves!

The MemCard PRO GC solves the problem of storing your game's saves forever!

The features you love from the MemCard PRO

Our experience from the PlayStation MemCard PRO is evident on this new device, with all your favourite features already available on launch day, plus more. We've even planned some exciting new features that will arrive through our super-easy over-the-air firmware updates.

Latest Tech

Using the latest high quality components, the MemCard PRO GC offers an almost infinite amount of save blocks for your GameCube, from a single slot! The latest and greatest ESP32S3 powers the core of the MemCard PRO GC with lower power consumption and generated heat than the previous iterations. It can still provide and incredible amount of speed with its dual-core 240MHz processor.
We've paired it with a 6K LE FPGA that not only emulates the original memory card's signals in perfect timing, but also has ample space for new features!

Endless Storage

The MemCard PRO for the PS1 became famous as "the last memory card you will ever need" due to the fact that it allows you to create a truly astonishing amount of virtual memory cards. This also applies to the MemCard PRO GC!

Not only can you create 2048 59 block memory cards per 1GB on your microSD card, but you can also configure any of the official sizes for your virtual memory cards! Anything from 59 blocks to 1019 blocks is supported, and the MemCard PRO GC will even automatically detect the size and emulate it accordingly!

Files are stored on either a microSD card that you can plug it to the MemCard PRO GC, or on a USB flash drive, or externally powered hard disk! microSD cards of up to 2TB are supported, but you can go larger on a USB device, as the theoretical limit of an exFat volume is 128PB!!

Wireless features that make sense

The MemCard PRO GC comes with WiFi built-in. This allows you to connect your MemCard PRO GC to your wireless network and manage it remotely. Create, edit and delete your virtual memory cards without touching your microSD card. You can even manually set names for your cards, or change the GameDB assigned name for it to one of your liking!

If you prefer managing the files directly, you can use the built-in FTP server and directly access the files, as if the microSD card was on your computer's desktop.

Support for SMB and NAS / RetroNAS is also planned with a future update. In NAS mode, the MemCard PRO GC can function exclusively with files over-the-air and does not require a microSD card of USB Flash drive to be connected.

A Bigger OLED Display

We really loved the MemCard PRO PS1 OLED display, so we decided to go bigger! A 128x64 monochrome OLED display allows for more details to be presented to the user, with useful information and a heap of new active status icons that help you determine if your MemCard PRO GC is active, the WiFi status, etc.

The new power of the ESP32S3 also allows us to up the framerate of the display for smooth animations and marquee scrolling of the game name!

GameID Support!

In 2021 we introduced the world to our invention, the GameID and GameDB systems, that allows the MemCard PRO to communicate to a system device and determine what the running game is. This allowed us to automatically switch the loaded virtual memory card, and transform the experience of loading games to one that makes you forget a memory card is even plugged in! The MemCard PRO could automatically load the associated VMC, providing a dedicated card for each game with 8 channels of 15 blocks.

The MemCard PRO GC continues to deliver this great experience, and with the latest version of Swiss, it can automatically detect the running game and create or load a set of 8 channels of dedicated virtual memory cards. This saves a lot of pain managing your saves on the same Memory Card by automatically associating a virtual memory card to a specific game!
