PS1 MicroSD Memory Card on the Cheap!
35Apologies for the camera not zooming correctly and completely blanking out repeatedly. Seems that it was overheating and I had no clue until I went to edit. And if you don't accept that apology, well you can just eat grapes with ranch dressing.
You can find the PicoMemCard project by dangui on Github:

The MemCard Pro has an OLED readout as well as wifi capabilities. OLED has been discussed as a possibility in the future for the PicoMemCard+ but honestly, to me at least, I don't feel there is much point to it. While cool and all, I've mentioned it on the GitHub but after trying the (+) I don't feel there would be any benefit. Although, dangui certainly proved me wrong when I said that adding a MicroSD card would be overkill for my needs.
Pi Pico W was also released which has wifi and bluetooth capabilities, so this isn't soo far out of the realm of possibility either. Also, the memory card and the controller share the same BUS so there could be a possibility of bluetooth controller pairing at a long shot. What I do know for one thing, myself, I would never be interested in purchasing a memory card for over $25.
If you'd like a case with matching PS1 PCB board DIY kit (you must provide your own Pico/Pico W/SD Module), search PicoMem on Etsy. I (Italics) may (/italics) distribute my 3D files, or (at least some of them) at a later time but for now, I'm just producing a limited amount of cases for those who are interested. I have other SD module boards to take into account so all that will be available so far is the longer basic PicoMem case (no MicroSD version) and the PicoMemCard+ version that only supports the Adafruit SD module for the time being. I also did a model for the cheaper SD modules. Again, these have a custom PCB I made which align with the pins inside the slot so all you'd have to do is solder them to your separately purchased Pico.
