PCSX2 Save State Shortcuts

Are you tired of dealing with the limitations of PCSX2's save state function? Well, you're not alone. Many users have complained about the inconvenience of having to manually create memory cards every time they want to play their favorite PS2 games on the Steam Deck. But fear not, dear reader, for we have some good news for you.

Firstly, it's essential to set up a PS2 memory card as this bypasses the problem of having to create memory cards every time you start playing a game. To do this, head into the Settings menu and click on the SD Icon shown above. From there, you can select 'Create Memory Card' and follow the on-screen instructions.

Another important thing to note is that whenever you update PCSX2 via the online updater, there's a chance that your save states will become incompatible. This is because the emulator updates its internal structure, which may cause issues with your saved games.

So, how can you avoid this problem? One way is to use a third-party emulator like EmuDeck, which allows you to create and manage multiple save states for each game. With EmuDeck, you can easily switch between different save states, making it much easier to play your favorite PS2 games on the Steam Deck.

In conclusion, setting up a PS2 memory card and using a third-party emulator like EmuDeck are two effective ways to overcome the limitations of PCSX2's save state function. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy playing your favorite PS2 games on the Steam Deck without any hassle.
