PS2 region converted kh2 NTSC to PAL save says corrupt???
Hi everyone I could use someone’s help because I’m sure I’m not doing anything wrong as I have been successful in my method for converting region saves for final fantasy 12 and kingdom hearts already.
I have PS2 Kingdom hearts II saves with the region code BASLUS-21005-01 (NTSC format) from when I played an ISO downloaded version of the game on a UK PS2 Slim and used SwapMagic3.3 disks to play the game.
I now have the original PAL KH2 game with the region code BESLES-54114-01 and want to be able to play my previous saves so I did the following:
Step 1: I used uLaunchELF to transfer the raw PS2 save data from the MC (memory card) folder on a USB and then onto my PC.
Step 2: I then used Ps2_Save_Builder to edit Root/ID and file to match the desired region and extracted all the files into a new folder that also matched the new ID.
Step 3: I used uLaunchELF to copy the folder and then mcPast back into MC and load up my PAL game.
When I go to load game the slot says this game data is corrupt?????? This should not happen and i don’t know what to do I have tried all the possible combinations under the sun, helppppp.
The file cannot be corrupt cuz they work and I even used my PS2 to PS3 memory card adaptor to covert the saves into PSV format and transfer to PC and use PSV exploiter to extract raw files and then save builder to convert ID etc and still says corrupt.
PS the fact that the game data shows up means its in the right format else it would say no saves. Also when I do a new save on my pal and transfer to NTSC to load on my old game it also says corrupt.
Extra random info if helpful for my background:
Like I said at the start I was in the exact same situation with my ff12 and kingdom hearts games and their saves and I used the above method and they all work (some reason when I load up any of my ff12 saves it adds 20% of extra game play time :S i.e. I load up a slot saying 10hours and on the menu when loaded it says 12 hours but after that its fine if I resave at 12 hours n load or new game etc kind of odd but everything works :)
