Ordered back in Feb and just got delivered!
As soon as I saw the PS1 version release a while back, I was eager to get a PS2 version to backup the single 8MB card Iβve owned since my first PS2. I got all my games pre-owned back then, so sadly none came with extra memory cards π
Initially I ran into some issues copying the save files from my old 8MB to this one (using wLE), ended up turning off the βGame IDβ MCP setting so all saves get copied to the same VMC instead of dedicated ones for each game.
Apparently this card works on the PS3 too if you hold the front right button while connecting the USB, looking forward to that since I have some PS1 saves trapped in thereβ¦
If you had access to wLE already, why didnβt you just back up the saves to a flash drive, or just make a complete image of the memory card?
Also on PS3, canβt you just copy saves to a flash drive in the stock OS? Even if not, jailbreaking is easy.
IIRC when looking into this originally, there are multiple tools necessary due to additional metadata on the MCs: mcpaste for PS1 saves, psupaste for PS2 saves, and the PS3 uses an entirely different format that needs to be converted prior to use (I donβt remember if you need to jailbreak to get the keys for this)
Felt there was a bit too much manual stuff involved which could allow human error to come in and mess something up. I did do a copy + psupaste to the internal HDD on a new partition just in-case, but there was no way I was going to risk copying those back onto my only memory card to test if it actually was done right π
The original MC was near full as well, so itβs pretty nice to also be able to spin up new ones when needed (to be fair I believe OPL has a similar feature built in, although some games may freeze using it)
