how can i convert between *.psu and *.xps?

[martinewei]

hello all,

how can i convert *.psu to *.xps? you know i havent the memory covertor and i have only XPort to manager my memory card on my pc.

i can't get *.xps from others since they use *.psu.

so is there a program that can convert between these two save format.

thx.

There isn't yet, I'm trying to find the time to complete a few other projects then I'll start on one.

Usually either myself or BigRib from www.gamesaves.de will do a quick conversion for people who want the odd save converting :)

gothi,

then how can i convert codes from sps to xps, is it enough for me to only change the full name?

do u use msn, i want to make friends with you on MSN.

thx

I think you can just rename the file extention and use the renamed one in sharkport, try it.

[gothi]

martinewei, are you referring to saves or codesaves?
As Monga said, for Xport/Sharkport saves you can simply change the extension (but be aware that if the save is from a different region you need to change it's ID).
With codesaves you can also just change the extension but you cannot use US codes on a PAL game and vice versa etc

gothi
you said 'but be aware that if the save is from a different region you need to change it's ID'
then 'from a different region' you mean what? could you give a sample?

if i get a save(gamesave) -it's for NTSC U/C game and whose name for example is finalfantasyxxx.SPS, if i want to import this to my XPORT on my PC, i just change the name to finalfantasyxxx.XPS, is it ok?

gothi, do you use MSN? i think it will be better for communication

[gothi]

For example:

You find a save with the extension .xps, you try it on your game and it doesn't work. Looking at the Product ID of the save you see that it is for the UK version of the game and you have the US. You can either then find a US save with the .xps extension or change the Product ID yourself and see if that works.

This is also true in reverse etc..

Basicly we used to be in a situation where NTSC saves had the .sps extension and PAL saves had .xps
Now that Datel are selling the Xport in the US, both PAL and NTSC saves now use the .xps extension.

As for Messenger, I rarely use any IM clients at the moment due to lack of time and current illness :arg:

gothi,

i will make an sharkport bonus boot cd then do some tests.

which one is better in aspect of speed or others, sharkport or xport?

and pls give me some site where i can find game saves both in xps and sps.

i know than you are online now, but i can't contact you directly. :(

[gothi]

Xport and Sharkport are the same technology.
The 2.23 and above versions are compatatble with the GTA games, the lower versions are not.

you can find lots of games saves at www.gamesaves.de and www.gamefaqs.com

[martinewei]

you mean i use xport v2.23, i can use sps file directly?

what are GTA games?

[gothi]

I mean that versions of the Xport/Sharkport lower than 2.23 are not able to correctly use Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game saves.
2.23 and above can, this is an issue with the PS2 CD and cannot be fixed on the PC

absolutely. I love it, too. coulda scratched him up a link, though, but I got that covered, so it aint like when you ask me if I know what time it is, and I check my watch and say "well, yes, actually, I do", and leave you with that... I do that, sometimes.

hook you right up, although now with togther good use for flashfxp and execftp, I like to save mine that way, same as they save on the ps2 hdd, convienently, and since they're just folders of files, no format, they're easily messed with, even on the ps3 alone, I can hack that icon.
