How Can I Find PS2 save on ps3

[103Baby]

I've been having trouble finding my ps2 save data its not showing up in the memory card but when I open the game it saves the data .

It should be in Memory Card Utility.

When I open saved Data Utility (PS2) it shows Ps2 Classics Placeholder

If you go into the Saved Data Utility (PS2) folder with a USB drive plugged, you'll see it at the top of the folder. Go into that folder and you should see your saves there.

If they're not showing, my best guess is that they are individually corrupted. However, you're able to save, so maybe a part of the memory card is corrupted, like the header.

or better yet you could ftp into your ps3 if it's hacked and get the Raw vmc from there iirc transferd saves (PSV) are semi encrypted the raw VMCs are not it's in this path hdd_0/savedata/vmc /(Name of card).VMx (X being the slot the card's in so if you have a card named PS2 in slot 2 it will show as PS2.VM2 in the ftp program) from there use this program to open it https://sourceforge.net/projects/mymc-opl/files/ you can use it to inject saves you find online .cbs (code breakerv10 saves) work nicely i'd suggest gamefaqs as they have a LOT of saves for PS2
