The device in question is the gameshark.

There were 2 versions. The one where you would pop a disc in and do a swap after loading and had a lockout fob (memorycard?).

The other device (which you are thinking of) which plugged into the parallel port on the back (which was removed in later versions of the psx).

Not a memory card, just a device that you used to hold the spring/button thing down that tells the system that the lid is open.

or maybe I'm remembering a different disk swap thing from somewhere else



Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

There was also Action Replay (Datel) which you plugged into the parallel port of the PSX. I still have one around here somewhere...

Plugged into the parallel port is the one.
