God Of War Pcsx2 Save File
Hercules Montero
I've tried adding both of these commands pointing to the specific state file (though I'm not sure what is referring to as I haven't seen any documentation from PCSX2 explaining it), but I've tried putting the filepath to the specific state with both in various combinations, but it just returns an error and fails to boot the game. And resume states don't seem to use the F3 hotkey save slots.
Index in this context is a common way to differentiate between iterations of something. PCSX2 offers 10 save states. So index will direct which specific save state to load. For ex "-state 1" will load save state #1
Are you loading the game with the same command line? You need to tell the emulator to run, what game to open, and then any optional parameters. In this case you want to load a save state. We can also include other common parameters like the -nogui and -fullscreen if that is desired
Alternatively you could even use the statefile parameter to load up the save states that are in a numbered slot, but as you can see that would take having the full path to the file so it's not as convenient as just being able to specify the save state slot # instead. For giggles, here is an example of that
Hi although there are some files in that folder i dont think they are save state files as when i copy them over nothing will load. i dont think pcsx2 uses the retroarch save state system but its own but i could be wrong. where is the pcsx2 application installed to? cheers
Save states are usually not compatible between different emulators. This also means the same emulator on different architectures/operating systems, such as Windows vs. Linux. Also, I think the version number may be unique as well, so check with the emulator itself to see if it can load save states with a different version of itself.
I'm considering crating up my PlayStation 2 in order to free up inputs on my TV. I don't play it very often any more, and it looks like emulation is currently good enough for the games I still play on occasion. However, I definitely don't want to start over in all of them!
As the PS2 has USB ports, it seems likely there's some way to copy games from a memory card to a USB drive (using a custom disk, presumably). However, Googling for it gives me a lot of contradictory (and fairly old) information about what software is available and how well it works (or for that matter, whether it's even necessary).
This can be done with the uLaunchELF browser. uLaunchELF is homebrew software, so must be run on a modded PS2 or via other methods for running unsigned software (the same techniques can be used to run pirated games, so I won't go into detail).
Once in the browser, copy your saves from mc0:/ or mc1:/ (the first and second memory card slots) and "psuPaste" them to mass:/. This will produce files which can be used with mymc to produce PCSX2-compatible memory card images.
Second @EmSixTeen's answer re: uLaunchELF. You say you don't want to mod ... I don't think you'll be able to do this without some kind of modding. You might look into FreeMCB and OPL, they are handy 'softmodding' tools that install a mod on your memory card - so, no dealing with mod chips, at least. You'll probably need something like a GameShark / CodeBreaker to install it though - and I believe you can just use that (GameShark) to copy your saves.
mymc is a public domain utility for working with PlayStation 2memory card images (.ps2) as used by the PlayStation 2 emulatorPCSX2. It allows save files inthe MAX Drive (.max), EMS (.psu), SharkPort (.sps), X-Port (.xps) andCode Breaker (.cbs) formats to be imported directly into these images.It can also export save files in either the MAX Drive and EMS formats.See the README.txt file included in thedistribution below for more details.
The Windows release of mymc requires the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable to be installed. It's likely tobe already be be installed on your computer, but if you get an errorcomplaining about a missing MSVCR90.DLL file, you can download it directlyfrom Micrsoft with the provided link. Be sure to download and installthe 32-bit "X86" version, probably called vcredist_x86.exe,even you're using a 64-bit version of Windows.In order to display save file icons, mymc also requiresthat the April 2006 DirectX update be installed. This isless likely to be already installed on your computer, butmymc will work without it. You can download and install all ofthe DirectX updates, including the necessary one, using Microsoft's DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer.The Python release requires Python 2.7 and optionally requireswxPython. It will work withoutwxPython, but the GUI mode won't be available. It will not work withany version of Python 3.x. As modern Linux distributions only provideminimal support for Python 2.7 it may be difficult to install a compatibleversion wxPython and eventually even Python 2.7 itself.
So, I started playing Persona 4 because I'm pretty excited for 5. I went to play a couple days ago and lo and behold there was no save. After some digging, I found it in the "Save Data Utility Folder". I thought that was odd, and I hit the "Copy" option, hoping it would allow me to move it to the internal memory card... and no dice. It said "Connect storage media at the save destination".
Luckily, I (sort of) had a USB stick on hand in my Wii U. I did have to reformat it to FAT32 though in order to get the PS3 to recognize it. That went fine, I was able to copy the save data from the utility folder to the flash drive. And now, I'm stuck. Whenever I attempt to copy it from the storage device it just overwrites the Save Data Utility folder.
Google seems to be a bit of a black hole, unfortunately, and I feel pretty inept now. I've found a number of random boards on moving save data from a flash drive over to the PS3 but the explanation is as general as "if you have it on a USB stick, just put it in the PS3 and you can transfer it from there". Has anyone had any experience with this?
PS2 classics saves are supposed to be in the Saved Data Utility (PS2). Memory Card Utility is where PSone classics saves are stored so PS2 games saves shouldn't go in there. To copy PS2 classics saves from USB to HDD, go into Saved Data Utility (PS2) folder with USB drive plugged and you'll see it at the top of the folder. Go into that folder and you should see your saves there. But seems like something bad happened to you sense you're saying all your PS2 saves are not being recognized.
@azulot: Are you using back-compat? My PS3 doesn't have that and I'm talking about PS2 classics (the ones they offer digitally). I'm guessing saves are handled differently between the 2. No idea why the saves would be moved randomly, strange.
Like the original physical memory cards, you can use one Internal (virtual) Memory Card for multiple game saves. Start by only creating one card for each system, even if you intend to play more than one game.
The standard PS2 memory card has an 8MB capacity and some PS2 users are frustrated how fast 8 MB fills up. In this post, MiniTool talks about the memory card, including its usage, available on market, and common issues.
Although PS5 will be released at the end of 2020, the old-generation the PS2 has become the best-selling video game console of all time. As March of 2020, the console has sold almost 158 million units across the world. However, lots of PS2 users have some doubts about PS2 memory card. So, this post will take about PS2 memory card from different aspects.
PS2 comes with a memory card that uses NAND Flash that is a non-volatile form of memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed and the memory card is used to store data such as save files and in-game creations. Most likely PS2 users do not need a spare memory card as game save usually takes up at most 450KB and other saves only take up small space in the memory card.
When your PS2 cannot detect the memory card, you should make sure whether there are something wrong with the memory card slot, the memory card or the PS2 console. You can examine them by inserting the memory card into a different slot of the same PS2 and connecting to a different PS2.
Check the memory card slot for any obstructions and check whether there is any dust, dirt, or grime on the memory card connector and slot. If you discover them, you can use a can of compressed air to clean them.
In the market, Sony PS2 memory cards are no more than 8MB, but there are many of non-Sony manufactured memory cards available for the PS2, like Mad Catz, Blaze, Nyko, and more, and the largest PS2 memory card is up to 512MB in the market.
Some PS2 users wonder whether these memory cards can be used for their consoles since they are not official peripherals for PS2. In fact, these memory cards do the same thing as a Sony memory card does and some even have additional features such as incorporating game cheat codes.
If you want a 64MB memory card for your PS2, you can try one from Old Skool. This memory card is compatible with all PS2 systems and all PS2 games. With this card, you can load, save, copy, and delete game saves with ease.
As we know, formatting the PS2 memory card is necessary to be able to correctly save your games play data on the console. However, some PS2 users reported that they failed to format memory card with PS2. So, in this situation, is there any way to format this memory card?
Or you can try MiniTool Partition Wizard that is a professional Windows-based partition manger. This program not only can help you format a memory card for PS2, but also is useful when PS2 memory card gets corrupted. How to use it? The whole process is simple.
Lots of PS2 users encounter PS2 memory card corruption. Once the issue happens, this means data loss. If you have no backup the files on the memory card, it could be said that data loss can be very agonizing, because Sony has stopped producing PS2 games since the end of 2012.
You can also try MiniTool Partition Wizard. Apart from the data recovery function, it also offers the Copy Partition feature for file backup. How to run MiniTool Partition Wizard to retrieve the data from PS2 memory card? Follow the tutorial below.
