PS2 File Conversion / Transfer

In working with a few others on transferring roster files, I realized that people can share PS2 files (e.g., roster files, profiles, etc.) much easier than they realize -- it doesn't require exchanging a PS2 memory card provided that each person who wants the file has a PS2 memory card adapter / reader and a PS3:

Here is how it works.

1. Let's assume I have a PS2 roster file on a PS2 memory card. Using the memory card adapter, I transfer the file from the PS2 memory card to a PS2 internal memory card on my PS3 (my PS3 does NOT need to be backwards compatible to do this). If my PS2 roster file is already on my PS3 (for instance, if I have a backwards compatible PS3), then you would start with step 2.

Alternatively, I may have a PS2 roster file in .PSV format which I can transfer to my PS3 with a USB.

2. I then transfer the file from my PS3 to a USB (it will be in .PSV format).

3. Next, I zip the file and e-mail it to the person who wants it.

4. The person who receives the file transfers it from his computer to a USB, and then transfers it from the USB to an internal memory card on the PS3.

5. If the person has a backwards compatible PS3, he now has the file available. If not, he can transfer the file from the PS3 to a PS2 memory card using the memory card adapter.

6. Then, he can insert the PS2 memory card into the PS2 and is ready to use the file.

Hope this helps!
