    Because the memory cards aren't compatable. You'll need to buy a PSOne memory card, which will work with your PS2.

    -oRnein9-, just buy a new PSOne memory card, they cant be too much 'cos they've been out for years and they are only 1mb

    Its not so bad when you think about it. Different data allocation plans and different data formats. Remember looking at ps1 games and seeing memory card - 1 block. The ps2 uses kilobytes. Therefore they can fit more onto them, PS1 games were made to accept a form of storage that was block based. This is data based and the saves take up alot less. More game saves for you money. Thats why it wont work.
