Accessory Description
The Sony PlayStation 3 Memory Card Adapter (Model CECHZM1) is an official OEM data transfer accessory released in 2006 to help players carry their PlayStation 2 game progress into the next console generation. Designed specifically for use with the PlayStation 3, this adapter allows saved data stored on standard PS2 memory cards to be copied directly to the PS3 system’s internal hard drive. This accessory is intended for use with PlayStation 3 systems that support PlayStation 2 backward compatibility. It provided a seamless bridge between platforms during the early PS3 era, preserving years of progress from the PS2 library.
The adapter connects to the PS3 via USB and accepts an original PlayStation 2 memory card, allowing save files to be transferred for continued use on backward compatible PS3 systems. This made it possible to resume long-running adventures without starting over — whether continuing a deep Final Fantasy X playthrough, returning to a nearly complete Gran Turismo 4 garage, or picking up where you left off in Metal Gear Solid 3. Designed exclusively for one-way transfer to the PS3 system, it serves as a dedicated migration tool for preserving PS2 gaming history for owners of PS3 models that can play PS2 games.
