PS2 memory card converters

First of all I got a orignal launch machine so it is backwards compitable. Okay the two things keeping me from buying a PS2 memory card converter is.

1.How well do they work? could it corrupt the data by some random chance? won't crap out the orignal memory card so you can't use it anymore?

and

2. Is is possible to copy memory cards onto the PS3 and use the ps3 as storage device for multiple PS2 game saves then transfer them back to the PS2 memory card so you can play on a orignal PS2 if you still want to?

I want to know this since I don't have much use for my ps3 yet(gotta wait till next year for the good ps3 games :3) and its alot easier for transfering game saves and preventing me from forking out $50-75 for multiple cards. And so if friends want to borrow my ps2 I can continue playing the games on my PS3

Since I am tired of working hard on a game to delete it afterwards so I can play another game.

Thanks in advance to whomever can help me out.

Okay, no I haven't heard anythign about it corrupting data, but once it's on your PS3, make sure you back it up, cause I've had the PS2 erase a memory card before. Back up all your memory cards.

Second of all, no it doesn't transfer back to the memory card.

Third of all, get Drakes Fortune dude.

one yea I had a bad experience where the ps3 corrupted my jak X racing data but then again it was save glitch with the game.

two that sucks :/ so I guess only transfer the games over that I might touch a few years down the road for now.

third I lawled xP nah next gen gaming is to expensive been mainly focusing on my SNES N64 and PS2 games right now but 2008 when it comes I am going to have a reason to play all 3 of my gaming machines I bought over the last year.

I heard with one of the new firmware updates, that now you can transfer saves back to the ps2 mem card. You might want to double check that though.fortysix_too
