Ross Ridge is an independent software publisher whose catalog consists of a single, focused utility called mymc. Released into the public domain, mymc is a free tool designed for working with PlayStation 2 memory card images, which are commonly stored with the .ps2 file extension. The software falls squarely into the emulation and game preservation category, addressing the practical needs of users who want to manage saved game data outside of the original console hardware. Typical use cases include viewing the contents of a memory card image, extracting individual save files for backup or archival purposes, and importing save files into an image so they can be used with emulators or transferred between virtual memory cards. This makes mymc particularly useful for players who emulate PlayStation 2 games on modern computers and need to move progress between different memory card files, recover saves from aging or damaged physical cards, or share save data with other users. The utility also serves preservation enthusiasts and retro gaming communities who seek to maintain long-term access to their game progress as original hardware becomes harder to maintain. Because the software is in the public domain, it imposes no licensing restrictions, allowing anyone to use, modify, and redistribute it freely for personal or community projects. As a lightweight, single-purpose application rather than a broad software suite, mymc exemplifies the kind of narrowly scoped utility often produced by independent developers: it solves one well-defined problem within a specialized niche, complementing larger emulator ecosystems by handling the memory card image management tasks that those platforms typically leave to external tools.
