Quicker process for this by the way. Pressing X to mark all the save files that you want and then pressing copy and then mcPaste should paste all of the files over that you want to your USB drive.
I already had our saves backed up from ages ago when I had FreeMcboot but I hadn't tried loading them into PCSX yet. This worked great, cheers. So nice to see our old 111-hour Dragon Quest 8 save is still alive and kicking. So many memories!
Nicely done in working this out. Tried it out just now myself, using FTP to transfer the saves off, and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the scoop, bud.
Dude, this is probably the best CZcams video, ever. The fact that I now have the MTV music generator 2 and all of my (over 500 music files), I'm happier than my greedy ass dogs with a bowl full of chicken scraps - If I had a tail it, it would be (band) wagging right now. I'm Rebel XD, by the way - And you are one of the coolest guys I've seen in recent times on CZcams because of this video. It works, I really loaded some of my files, now just to get allll the rest of them - one at a fuckin' time lol.
Thank you brother! You saved me some $ those devices for the ps2 are ridiculous expensive on ebay. Going to put my whole library on pc soon, this was helpful.
When I copy and paste my save files of Gran Turismo 3 and Freekstyle into the memory card it says it went through but when I check it by launching pcsx2 without the game's it doesn't show the saved data. I'm also using the 2.0 version of pcsx2 and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
It finally worked , but I went a different route , I used the experimental memory card on the pcsx2 , after creating it I dropped everything I copied from the PS2 , then I formated it using the pcsx2 and the bios , then I went back after formatting it to the pcsx2 settings and I transformed it into an 8mb memory card , then I went back to the bios to check if all the saves where there , and they where there , it worked ! The expiremental option on the create a memory card let s you dropped the files in .
Yea this definitely helped me! I’m not sure what I did the first time but I corrupted my game file on Midnight club 3 remix. I deleted everything and tried again using this method and it worked thanks bro !🙏🏾😭
Doesn't even work saves want even pop up on pcsx2 V 1.6 or 1.7 been at this for 4 hours formating the virtual memory cards an creating new converted ones an moving my saves from the real opl ps2 mem card copied saves to the virtual ones to see it not work so yeah open to help though if any
I was just noticing on your 'Downhill Domination" game, the screen is really shaky. Do you have the 'interlacing (f5)' in 'default' in the video settings? It should fix that right on up./
I thought it was F4 that does that but maybe I'm wrong. And I thought I did but was still kinda new with PSCX2 at the time so maybe I didn't. I've never really revisited that game on the emulator.
When you put the flash drive in how do you get those options to appear on the PlayStation 2? Mine isn't doing it at all I have to Playstation 2s a slim and a original one neither of them showed those options with 3 different flash drives
Not sure what options you're referring to but it sounds like you didn't softmod your system first. You need a free mcboot memory card inserted when you power on your ps2
It is possible, with a modded PS2 running uLaunch. Mount the virtual memory card used by PCSX2, in myMC (Windows program). Export the saves you want to .PSU file(s). Copy the .PSU file(s) to FAT32 formatted USB. In uLaunch, copy the .PSU file(s). Still in uLaunch, go to your memory card, and use the psuPaste command, and it will convert the .PSU file(s) in to native saves your actual PS2 will read from your memory card.
I just had the problem that the games didn't recognize any savegames. As it turns out, the BIOS as well as the game needs to match the one that created the savegames. So i pulled the BIOS of my original PS2 using DUMPBIOS-MASS.elf and used the resulting files as the BIOS. For the game i created an .iso using ImgBurn. Works perfectly now.
Save games work with multiple BIOS's. It was kind of the point with memory cards to continue playing a game at a friend's house but not have to bring your whole system over. The exception maybe being region codes. Idk enough about that but wouldn't be surprised if say your made a bunch of saves on a region 1 PS2 with region 1 games and are now trying to use those saves on PCSX2 with a region 2 BIOS. Not sure if that was your problem but either way I'm glad you were able to pull your own BIOS and got it working!
2:21 the ps2 definetly would have recognised it. Problem is that some storage products need more power. For example I have an old hard drvie that i run my ps2 games from on OPL. If I where to connect it to my ps2 it would work just fine. But I have another, a newer one, which doesnt work when I plug it into the ps2's usb porn but it works on my router. Just a problem of power.
2:46 If you go to mode there is an option to see what game these files belong to. Also 2:53 you can copy all of them at once. Or just press x to the ones you want.
This isn't helpful if you don't have a "modded" PS2. What does that even mean. I was always able to get saved games from gameFAQs and put them on to my memory card, but I can't do it in reverse without some type of super hacker nonsense?
Yeah unfortunately a bunch of things aren't really possible without modding it. However modding a ps2 has become really easy these days, all you need to do is buy a "Free McBoot memory card" from eBay for like $8 and just stick it in. It will softmod your ps2 and you'll be able to do what I did in this vid
I'd love to know how you downloaded saves and got them on to your memory card, without a modded PS2, or a memory card interface to your PC. In either case, if you were able to download saves and get them on your memory card in the first place, then you should be able to read saves from your memory card too. Sounds like you're all set.
@@datriaxsondor590 I distinctly remember downloading an Ace combat 5 save from game fans, shoving the thumbdrive into the ps2, and then copying it onto the card. I did it so that I could unlock all of the paint schemes.
@@thequintessentialgamer7514 iirc it depends what serial number your ps2 is. If it's a 'newer' edition, sony patched that exploit out. Luckily my ps2 works.

even faster still, hit square and it selects everything (assuming you actually want to keep everything of course)

Thanks for this video! Wanted to back up some saves after moving across the world. Glad I still have this precious data.

your the mvp, you save our childhood, and make us to cotinue, thank you my dude
at least !!! all others videos was about online saves. You are the one who answer about ps2 saves !
I just follow your guide and it worked perfectly well ! Thanks a lot (FCMB on my PS2, PCSX2 1.6.0)
Man you saved me from nervous breakdown. Great vid, thanks!
thank you so much, bro. you literally saved my persona 3 playthrough, god bless you man!!
Thank you brother! You saved me some $ those devices for the ps2 are ridiculous expensive on ebay. Going to put my whole library on pc soon, this was helpful.
Glad I could help!
FINALLY a CZcams video that actually explains this properly
Thanks, it helped me a lot. The process on the Mac is basically the same.
Thanks for the video helped out a lot!

luck brought me to this video. thanks a lot. this the real information i needed.
Thank you :33 My ps2 is dying and i wanted to get my saves onto pcsx2 before it dies. Thank you so much

This is the CORRECT way! Thank you so much!
I can confirm this works, even though the original way worked for me too.
The correct way is any way that works 🙂

Very useful for all ps2-lovers, thank u, bro!
Mine dont work without convert back to file
Dude thank you so much for this.
My 15-year-old sharport saves don't have a file extension. I have no idea how to recover them into PCSX2

jesus from ps2, thank you so much :3
Super cool!
I'm using AetherSX2 for my Mac, do you think a similar work around will apply to copying some game saves over?
thank you!!!

Timesplitters soundtrack! Top!
Hello there, did you find a way to use that PS3 memory card adapter on PC?
Yeah I found a "driver" and a little program that allowed me to access PS1 memory cards but it didn't support PS2 cards
Does the PS2 need to have a mod chip for this to work, or will a FreeMcBoot memory card suffice?
The free McBoot mem card will suffice. Booting a ps2 with one already inserted automatically soft mods the ps2 upon stsrtup
this is fucking awsome, thanks dude
Is it possible to do the opposite( from pcx2 to my ps2) ???
I've been wondering the same thing. I'll try to put a video out this weekend about that.
Here's the said video
czcams.com/video/mhUUpd_TOb4/video.html
That's the wrong link it sent me to this video

Can we import ps2 save files from a ps3 ?
Ooh! Good question. Gimme some time I'll have to research that!
Follow up: just to be clear, where are the ps2 save files located? On the ps3 itself? Or on a ps2 memory card but you only have a ps3 to access them?
@@thequintessentialgamer7514 the PS3 itself downloaded the ps2 save file as well as some games from store, not backward compatible model the slim
5:48 I can't get my memory card to format.
How so? Does it just not ask if you want to format?
@@thequintessentialgamer7514 I finally got it
Pressing l1 gives options to see game titles. Best of luck
Thx mate!
All I have whenever I load up my ps2 is browse and system configuration
Then it is not modded
you need to have the mystery mod
How does one mod their PS2 for this?

@@Senteri There are alternative softwares apart from FreeMCBoot. Think FunTuna is another one.
Bra ya could have used square to select all.
Or the cross button on the ones you want.
"you need to have a ps2 that is modded".....ok modded to do....what?
Only modded PS2's have UlaunchELF, the application I used to move the save files from the memory card to the jump drive.
