The PocketStation  is a peripheral (not only as egg easter haunting the ps3) for the PS1, PS2 and PS3 (and PS4?). Categorized by Sony as a miniature personal digital assistant (PDA). Connecting to a PlayStation through a memory card slot, the PocketStation also functions as a PlayStation memory card. It was released exclusively in Japan on January 23, 1999.

Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as extras for PlayStation games, included in the CD-ROM, enhancing the games with added features. Stand-alone software could also be downloaded through the PlayStation console. The software is then transferred to the PocketStation for use. A built-in infrared data interface allows direct transfer of data such as game saves between PocketStation units, as well as multiplayer gaming.

==Icons==
There are different type of Icons who can be set/found on [[Game_Saves#Virtual_Memory_Card_PS1_.28.VM1.29 |PS1 save]] after being transfered to PocketStation.

'''PS ICON:'''

From the regular icon displayed on the XMB interpolated (and so, can be visually rough) to monochrome 32*32 PocketStation Icon. This is the icon displayed per default on your PocketStation if there are no specifics PocketStation MCIcon (even on olders games than PocketStation such FF7).

'''PocketStation MCIcon:'''

<div style="float:right">[[File:PCKICON_ChronoCross02.png|150px|thumb|left|Specific MCIcon for PocketStation on save data ]]<br /></div>

Specific Icon for ours PocketStation (need the flags related to PocketStation on the PS1 save game) and can be found even on games not having specifics featuring  with the PocketStation.

Icons be animated as similar than PS ICONS. Visual Content can be similar than the PS Icon but this is not the same.

Length is 128 (0x80), each byte (in binary big endian: this is the order who appear on PocketStation and some icon have letter design to indicate this is the right order) giving 8 pixels, there are 4 bytes used per line (total 32 lines) to obtain our drawing of 1024 pixels (32x32 monochrome).

0 = "white", 1=black.

E.g.: Chronos Cross PSN version (On the save data file: first come the PS Icon used for XMB and after the MCI icon displayed on the PocketStation)
In this title, there are different set of icons used (PS & MCI), check your disc or your save data (next to the regular PS ICON) to find others.
