Hacking Transfer saves from PS2 to PS3?

[EmulateLife]

I have a PS2 Slim with Free McBoot but I'm starting to try and get PS2 games on my PS3 with multiman. I was wondering if I could get the saves off PS2 and transfer them to PS3 using Free Mcboot? Would the format need to be changed?

Yes, you can, there is a tuto for the backward compatible ps3 somewhere

You will need to inject your saves to the virtual memory card on ps3

Oh I don't have a backwards compatible PS3 it's a Slim. Would it still work?

Yes, every game should have its own vmem in the same folder of the iso or classic.

I don t remember if the virtual memory of the ps3 (the one in your xmb) is supported, if yes, you can just inject all your saves there

Can you (or someone) explain how to export from Free McBoot on PS2 to PS3? Every google search I find refers to getting PS1 saves off PS2/Free MCBoot for some reason and not PS2.

You need that cheat app for ps2 to export your saves

I don t remember the name

EDIT:
ok found Lol

Action replay max
It has a function to export your saves.
You then use a pc app to convert them to .ps2 or something similar.

I did this years ago so i don t remember all the details (on slim)

No

So I just downloaded AR Max and it's bin and cue so I have to burn it to a cd?

Ar max is like any other game, no extra steps

Ah thanks man, really appreciate help.

I just need to figure out what program to convert it on PC.

It works on OPL but when I get to my devices choose primary device I click on memory card 1 and it just goes back. I know I might not be able to get help with this.

Well now I went and did it. Couldn't get max to load my memory card so I tried formatting one of them thinking it didn't have any important saves, I had forgot my Free McBoot was on there. So now I have an unhacked PS2 with no free mcboot. What do I do now?

Mymc

ps2 mc image utility

Try without opl

Oh...you need swap magic or an other hacked ps2 or the mc to usb adapter.

 

[EmulateLife]

Do I need just the swap magic discs or do I need the magic slide tool or both?

I just went ahead and bought this it's about the same price and it's already done https://www.ebay.com/itm/FMCB-Genui...735987?hash=item46860d66f3:g:hN0AAOSwOFNbqVO9

If for some reason it's not legit I can get a refund through Ebay.
