 |
|
I downloaded several saves for PS2, but I don't have PS2 HD or USB cable or anything. Is there some program which can be written to CD along with these saves and will copy them from CD to my memory card when I boot this CD in PS2?

No.
Look for commercial products such as Action Replay EVO and such. |

boomint, 50 cents and my reputation might buy a cup of coffee. :P
I took a guess that he had a chip because I thought he was the same alucard from http://www.alucard.cc/.

This isn't exactly related, but is there any freeware/noncommercial software that I can burn to a CD-R or DVD-R and use to transfer save games off my PS2 memory card onto a USB flash disk? I have a modded PS2, but I don't have a network adaptor or a hard drive, and my memcards are all nearly full, and I don't particularly want to go out and buy one of the Action Replay products, since they only include like a 16Mb flash disk and I already have a 512Mb one (or a 1Gb one if you count my PSP with its 1Gb MSPD, heh).

You know, you can also use what you got flash-wise with them Action Replays...
Now, if you ps2 is modded, and you can't burn any cds/dvd's to boot something to move saves around, you won't get any help here. These are not modchip support forums. |

Uh... what? I'm not asking for support for my modchip, it works just fine. I can burn CDs/DVDs to "boot something to move saves around" as you put it, I just don't know what software it is that I need in order to do that. That's why I was asking on a homebrew software forum (i.e. here) whether there was any such software and where I might get it. I'm not asking for CD-rips of Action Replay or USB Loader or anything illegal like that.

Unless I misunderstood the other posts in this thread, that's just for copying save games TO the PS2 using a CD-R. I want to be able to back up save games FROM the PS2 using my USB flash disk. I'm frankly surprised that there doesn't seem to be a homebrew solution for this.

You did misunderstand them, mainly because it would be impossible to mention everything LaunchELF can do in a single post of reasonable size. In fact it can handle nearly all PS2 media and, since it's still being developed, may handle even more in future.
(Currently does not support copying over network.)

LaunchELF will allow you to copy to/from a USB disk or 'pen drive' (named 'mass:' in either case). However, the current drivers are not compatible with all drives in existence. I've myself had one that didn't work (Kingston Data Traveler) and one that does work (HP Disgo).
Also, regardless of copying methods, some saves rely on special file attributes (eg: Star Ocean 3 Battle Trophy save). Such saves will not be restored properly when copying them back to a PS2 MC from a USB disk (or a CD-R). But LaunchELF can at least copy even such files correctly from one PS2 MC to another (which the normal PS2 browser doesn't allow.)
