Would it be possible!?

[MasterPhW]

Okay, probably I'm the only one who is nerved by always changing the memory cards after they are full (because of the less memory the save), but would it be possible to emulate a bigger memory card/controller pack/vmu?(you know!)
And how it should be done? WIth a plugin or should the emu emulate/support it? Hope for responses!

It'd probably only be supported by systems that allow big memory card storage Like the gamecube could probably have a huge emulated card.

Don't some third-party companies make larger memcards for various systems? If that's the case then emulating them probably wouldn't be a problem.

The often dodgy quality of third-party peripherals may explain why they're not emulated though.

There are some Third Party devices that could help, not sure what system you're asking for but what the heck, one example:-

PS2 Memory Maxx - Will compress/decompress savegames on your memory card to increase capacity, much like ZIP

Or for something slightly different:-

PS2 Memory Adapter - Save onto removable storage (SmartMedia) and PC-Link up

Browse around this website and see what there is, i'll assume there is similar devices for other systems too.

EDIT: Sorry, your asking for emulation...i've no idea! aperbag:

But my peripherals always work correctly! And I had (e.g.) a controller pak and rumble pack in one (with 8MB, normally only 2... or was it more?) and never had trouble with it...
It would be great if such a thing could be emulated...
And how should it be done, what are you thinking: plugin or emu or both?
