i notice that there is no thread for GameFAQ save converting

ok, let's start
u can read the original guide posted by schattenberg88 here

OR

the updated version

Quote:Creating Game Saves For PCSX2 6th Revision


Credits go to "BCM124" 1st revision, GiGaHeRz for letting me use the ISO file, "cyclonmaster" (for helping others), "Gilgamesh" (for helping others), and “Schattenberg88” creation of this guide (6th Revision)


NOTE: You must have a PCSX2 PS2 formatted memcard. You can do this from the Browser screen in the BIOS, or you could refer to CKemu's BIOS Guide (guide linked here) (NOTE: You can also get this to work with Memory Card Dumps from a PS2)
Boot.ELF and PS2 Save Builder are located in the memcardsave.RAR file

This guide was updated on Feb. 16, 2007 for PCSX2 v0.9.2

Web version located here: The Unofficial PCSX2 Archive and Guide Database (PCSX2 0.8.1 support)


SIDE NOTE: Free Program I use to create my ISO's: MagicISO

PLEASE NOTE: Most corrupt files are either due to the site hosting a bad file or closing the emulator before it could finish copying the saves over.


1. Please read all above information before starting.
2. Format your Memory Card in PCSX2. If you need help, follow CKemu's BIOS Guide, or download the formatted blank memory cards (formattedmemcards.7z) from the attached files below.
3. Find the game you want from gamefaq.com, codebreaker.com, gameshark.com, and download the save file. In this tutorial I am using a Kingdom Hearts Save.
4. Open PS2 Save Builder.
5. Click Open, and then locate your save file that you just downloaded.
6. Remember the “root/ID” Number.
7. Now Create a folder containing that number.
8. Back in the PS2 Save Builder, Highlight all the “File Names,” right click and tell it “Extract”.
9. Find the folder you just created, and tell it save. You should now have the save files in the folder.
10. If you want to do more saves, then now is the time. Repeat above steps.
11. Now close PS2 Save builder.
12. Open any CD Burner Program, Put the folder on the CD and create an ISO containing that folder. (Note: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BURN A DISC, also you can add more than one folder to the ISO. I recommend "MagicISO")
13. Now Put the ISO in the same folder as Boot.elf. (Just makes life easier)
14. Now Open PCSX2 [pcsx2.exe (vm version)].
15. Set the Graphics plugin to ZeroGS KOSMOS or any other plugin you wish to use.
16. Set the Sound to any plug-in.
17. Set the Controller Plugin to PADwinKeyb v0.9, and make sure its configured to what ever you want the buttons to be.
18. Set the CD-ROM to “EFP Iso” or Linuzappz ISO CDVD Driver.
19. Tell “EFP Iso” or “Linuz ISO” configure, and locate your ISO you created. (SAVE.ISO is what we are using here)
20. Click Ok, and then OK again
21. Go to Configure à CPU
22. Make sure EErec, VU0rec, and VU1rec is checked. If those options are available.
23. Now go to Misc à Enable Console (This is what you look at to make sure the save transfers correctly.)
24. Go to File à Open ELF File
25. Locate Boot.elf and open it
26. If you get an Error Message. Just click “OK” and continue.
27. You should see a screen around Frame Count 74.
28. Press any key assigned to the controller. I prefer pressing “Select,”
29. Under “DEFALT” tell it Edit
30. Scroll down to “MISC” and tell it “OK”
31. Select File Browser, and tell it “OK”
32. Select “OK” again at the bottom of the screen
33. Press Down, Select “Defalt: FileBrowser,” and Press “OK”
34. Go to “CDFS” and tell it “OK”
35. Locate the file you created titled ex: “BASLUS-20370-02” (Could be different)
36. Select it, but don’t click “OK”
37. If you have more save files, Press “X” to “Mark” the file and keep doing that. Once done press “R1,” Select “Copy,” and tell it “OK.”
38. Go up one level, by pressing “Triangle”
39. Select “mc0:/” or “mc1:/”and tell it “OK”
40. Press “R1” and tell it “Paste.”
41. This should take a while. So please wait a couple minutes. Once you’re done, you have a memory card with save files!

Yea conversion was fine, done it plenty of times, I am just lazy, and since you offered... did I mention i'm lazy?

thnx

Its no problem gilgamesh.

To all, the MAIN reason why I can't help others out at the moment is due to the fact no graphics plugin renders the elf file for me. Honestly, The last working version that I was able to use this guide with was pcsx2 v0.8.1.

Run BIOS from PCSX2 by Run>Execute
format the memory card using BIOS (Explore into the memory card)
and try following the steps above.

As for the screenshot, I'm guessing the File format is not supported by the forum. However, This will be fixed later.

wondering if anyone could try and format this memory card.. tried your steps realone but still the same results
