guysss i rescued my abyss saves from my ps3!!!

i already had them backed up to an sd card before the console died thankfully but i wasn't sure they were usable elsewhere,, and tbh it wasn't an entirely straightforward process but they're now on my physical PS2 memcard and totally playable ✨✨

sooo when i get to abyss in my tales play queue i can actually finish a ng+ for once sjxkd

#for those interested in the process:#files were .psv which is like a package of a folder?? basically not usable #had to hunt down a converter from a broken website (yay waybackmachine) and convert them back to the folders of files that ps2 uses #but!!!! i still had to get them onto the memory card #so i burned freedvdboot with the ulaunchelf file manager onto a dvd+r i still had (the last one..)#luckily it worked first try ✨✨#then it was a matter of booting that on ps2 with the save files on a fat32 thumb drive plugged in as well #and wowow!!! copy + psupaste onto the memory card and ive got working save files babyyyy #of course i actually figured this out through trial and error of being like hmmm can i just copy the files as-is??#they dont look right tho......#much internet searching later and thats when i figured out i had to extract them lol #ive got my ps1 saves ready as well for when that pesky ps1 memory card arrives..... then i should be all good :D #jay yells #but yeah not terribly easy considering all the things i used to do it
