PS3:PSX Saves

Below are guides to managing PSX (PS1) game saves. You can extract a PSX save from your PS3, modify it, change the save region, and inject it (or a new save) back into the file system.

Extracting/Injecting a Save

 * You will need PSXGameEdit


 * 1) Open up an FTP program and transfer the .VM1 file from `/dev_hdd0/savedata/vmc/` to your computer.
 * 2) Rename your .VM1 file to ".mc".
 * 3) Open PSXGameEdit, select OK to the warning message prompt, select File → Open MemCard Image and choose your memory card. Your saves should be displayed.
 * 4) * To extract a game save, select the radio button next to an individual game save, then File → Save Single Game Save. Save it in the location of your choice and in any format desired.
 * 5) * To inject a game save, select File → Open Single Game Save and choose the desired save.


 * When you are finished, FTP the modified file back into `/dev_hdd0/savedata/vmc`.

Changing Save Region
If your game has the same exact save structure between two different regions, you can convert your save to a different region. The three regions are NTSC (North America), PAL (Europe), and NTSC-J (Japan).


 * 1) With your memory card open in PSXGameEdit, select the radio button next to your desired game save.
 * 2) Select File → Open MemCard and choose the radio button next to your extracted save.
 * 3) Select Convert in the toolbar and choose your desired region. Select Yes to confirm.
 * 4) Save your memory card to commit the changes.
