new user here and i have a question about game saves

[dubuque]

my ps2 max drive disc will not work anymore and i heard of a thing you can download off this site that lets you hook your ps2 up to your PC by usb cable and you can transfer saves that way also i have a launch model ps2 and its not moded

[McBeth]

there's a more simple way if you have a thumb drive and ULE

1. get your save

2.get ps2 save builder

3.use this prog to open your save

4. copy the text displayed in "ROOT ID"

5.create a folder on desktop

6.mark it, hit F2, paste what you copied earlier

7. now back in ps2save builder, mark the single elements that are shown in the list and select "extract". Extract it to the folder you just renamed and created

8.put this folder on the thumb drive

9. launch ULE

10. either copy the whole folder from thumb drive to mc, or, if you already have saves for this game on mc, copy only the content

That's it

hope it helps

do i need a cd to run ule i downloaded the latest version but i dont have a cd burner also my ps2 isnt modded and i do have savebuilder, i love that program

[McBeth]

so your ps2 is not exploited....

hmm

if you have a way of booting homebrew media, exploit your ps2 using the PS2 exploit utility...it's really easy...

if you don't want to, you can use dev mode, if you have a chip that supports this (in this case I assume you know what dev mode is and how to do stuff, so I don't explain here...)

OR

if you want to use ule off cd, do what I posted here:

(sorry, add the http stuff yourself...I posted less than 15 times so I'm not allowed to link to pages...darn...all this humiliation because of a stupid hacker!)

btw..be sure to use ULE 4.05 / 4.06 (<= haven't tried it myself, so don't know about possible bugs...) for best USB compatibility
