I'm trying to transfer my ps1 game save to psp (I downloaded ff7 from PSN, so now I want to use my game save on my psp).
I heard you have to convert the .mcr file to .vmp, which I tried to do, but I haven't any luck so far. I have memcardrex 1.1, but I don't see any options there to save to a .vmp format.
I looked everywhere for memcardrex 1.5, but every single link I tried are broken. So, I tried a psp psx memory card converter (by Shendo, I think), but it ended up erasing my save game!
anyway, for now can you help me convert this file to .vmp first?? n about the attach the card thing u mean.. the whole memory card file ?? or just the seplugin ? or what ?
As I thought, your Memory Cards are in the wrong format. There is an extra 128 byte header at the beginning of the file.
If you try to open it with MemcardRex you get this error;
I believe at some point you used VGS Memory Card (*.mem, *.vgs) with ePSXe.
When ePSXe encounters a format it doesn't know it fills the unknown part with zeroed data and slaps a raw card afterwards.
I converted the cards to VMP for you. I also attached fixed cards so you can try for yourself.
I suggest that you use these fixed cards in ePSXe from now on or make new true .mcr cards.
if i may ask. how to use that fixed card u attach on previous post ??
i dont really get how to use it.. :s can u help me ? n the save data is working so perfectly .. thanks a bunch
I'm the the boat as the original poster, as the desire to change PS1 saves to PSP. However, I don't wanna go messing with my PSP with CWCheat just yet, as I'm an idiot and will probably mess it up. I plan on doing this once I'm done playing the crap out of my UMDs and such.
I DO however, have some downloaded games from PSN like Final Fantasy IX and I wanna replay them with a tinkered save file cause why not. Nostalgia is callin me too. Anyways, I have this same file in two formats, MCR, and GME but I need them in the save data Format readable on my PSP.
Here's the catch, I'm not ready to dive head first into CWCheat, cause of reasons, and I do NOT Own a PS3. There ARE Other saves I want to convert from other games, but I figure I should just focus on one for now.
The Point
This dropfolder has both files in it. If someone can either explain how to convert them to PSP SaveData Format WITHOUT PS3, or CWCheat or can convert it to save data format, Would be much appreciated ^^ Took me awhile to find both, even found a PSV but I can't recall where I saved it haha. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1fckatrs1yif0vg/AABN9uWEXlVSllc32vz1E8A8a?dl=0
The best place to ask for conversions is either here or on Shendo's blog, but at any rate, it's pretty trivial to convert MCR to VMP (PSP format, but the Vita also uses it) with CWCheat (the same method even works on a Vita with eCFW). Here it is:
Many Thanks! ^^ I WILL probably get around to putting CWCheat on my PSP I'm just worried about royally screwing it up, plus I gotta roll back all them pesky updates that disabled my original PSP Action Replay device a loooooooong time ago. That...was...annoying...
Although doing that would make playing my UMDs normally kind of problematic too. *sigh* As versatile as the PSP truly is, can be a bit complicated for normal people too haha...well...normal among gamers I guess ^^;;
No problem. There's probably not much of a point worrying about the action replay when CWCheat and similar plugins can probably provide the exact same codes/cheats, and work on 6.60/6.61, the latest firmware, but that's just my opinion.
!!! Ok cool! Last time a about 2 years ago when I checked out CWCheat it required lower firmware versions for implementation onto the PSP Which required going through quite the ordeal... That's good to know ^^ Thanks!
Hello thank you guys who are converting so much for taking the time to do so eventually ill get another system to be able to do this myself but for now i dont have the funds to do so lol i was wondering if any of you had the time to covert this MCR to VMP for legend of the dragoon thanks in advance for all the help
Hi, i cannot get cwcheat to load at all. nothing happends when i hold select, at best my psp crashes. I've tried a lot of different things, different versions of cwcheat. I would like a .mcs to .vpm for the file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2AuPnSqBLGPanRjZHhoelJ3MVU but i would much rather learn to do it myself. If you just have been using cwcheat to load a .mcs and then save in game and then go into the savedata and upload your newly made .vpm well.. first off thank you for doing all that work for everyone this far and secondly maybe you could send me your setplugins so i can try your cwcheat on my psp. i have no idea why my cwcheat isnt loading at all, not even once. it doesnt even create the .ini file
Assuming you’re using PC, download the Content Manager provided by Sony. This can be very problematic and fail on install due to missing binaries from Microsoft. Many workarounds are suggested, but the only one that worked for me on Windows 10 was to right-click and select “troubleshoot compatability” and click through the options until you can select XP. This will ensure the application installs correctly
Once that is done, go into the Vita content manager interface and transfer the save games of the game in question to your PC.
Find the folder where the save game was transferred to, the saves will be in the format .VMP
Delete the save file on the PC and copy the .VMP that you created earlier from your old save game into the exact location. I had one old and one new memory card and it bugged out so be careful of that. The fix was delete all NEW cards, and copy in the OLD card.
Then delete the save file on the Vita (also using content manager)
Then transfer the save file from PC to Vita
Load up and the game and cross your fingers…
