How to Transfer PS2 Game Saves From a PC to a PS3/PS2 Memory Card Adapter

Programs called emulators allow you to play console games on your PC. This includes PlayStation 2 games, with many emulators able to save game files in the same file type that is supported by the actual PlayStation 2 console. Transferring a save file from the PC to a PS2 memory card is not difficult provided that you have the proper necessary items.

USB thumb drive
PS2 Save Builder
X-Port/SharkPort Save Converter
uLaunchELF disc
PS2 memory card

  Plug a USB thumb drive into your PC. When prompted by your operating system, open a window to show the contents of the thumb drive.

  Run PS2 Save Builder and convert your PS2 save file to an XPS file. This is done by simply selecting the file inside the program, picking ".XPS" from the list of available options, and clicking "Convert." If your PS2 save file is already in this format, skip to Step 3.
