How to Put a PS2 Game Save on to Your PS3 With Your PSP Memory Stick

The PlayStation 2 was released in 2000 and as of 2010 was the best-selling console in video game history. In 2006, Sony released the PS2's successor, the PlayStation 3. One of the better features of the PS3 is that it could play PS2 games and could have the smaller PlayStation Portable connected to it via USB. The PS3 used a virtual PS2 memory card system that would be created on the PS3 hard drive. This allows you to save your PS2 game saves directly to the PS3. It also meant you could easily transfer PS2 save files to and from the PS3 using a USB device such as the PSP.
