How To Share PS, PS2 and PS3 Game Save Data and Game System Data Files With Your PS3 and PC Over 5,000+ Downloads Completed, So Far! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING!
Getting Started! This guide will show you how to get easily started sharing your PS, PS2 and PS3 game saves with other internet users. In no way am I or anyone responsible for any errors, mistakes or problems you may incur. You use this guide, and game saves, at your own risk. The first step will tell you how to get PS, PS2 and PS3 game saves uploaded to the internet. Downloading game saves from the internet will come a little bit later. So, let's begin. START BY USING THE PS3 MEMORY CARD READER The easiest way to start uploading your game saves to the internet is attach the PS3 Memory Card Reader accessory to your PS3 and save your PS2 and PS1 game saves onto your PS3 hard drive (Virtual Memory Card). You insert your PS3 controller's USB cable into the device, and insert a PS2 or PS1 memory card. Under the "GAME" heading on your PS3 screen, scroll down to "Game Save Utility" and you'll see the PS1 and PS2 memory card icons. When you've inserted a PS1/PS2 memory card into the PS3 Memory Card Reader, the data will show up here and will ask you to save the contents on a "virtual memory card." Save and label for all the memory cards you own. Make sure you assign "Slots" for your cards for PS3 use. Once that is done, you wont need the PS3 Memory Card Reader again. COPY PS3 FILES TO A MEMORY CARD DEVICE Second, insert a USB 2.0 Flash Drive, or other memory card device, into the PS3. It should show up under "Game Save Utility" found under "Game" and pick a PS/PS2 virtual memory card. If not, don't worry, just continue on. Choose a particular game save from either your PSOne or PS2 virtual memory card, and push the Triangle button. Choose "Copy" and then choose the "USB Device" to copy it to. Do this for whatever PS/PS2 game saves and files you need to. Next, scroll down from "Game" and choose "Saved Data Utility" for PS3 game saves. Choose a particular PS3 game save and push the Triangle button. Choose "Copy" and then choose the "USB Device" to store it to. Done. It's that easy. Note: Not all USB 2.0 Flash Drives will work. I had a CRS Electronics Flash Drive that was "Locked" from the PS3 with no way to unlock it. If this happens to you, or your particular Flash Drive wont show up on your PS3, purchase a new Flash Drive device. Note: I only used a "Flash Drive Device" by example. You can use just about any electronic or storage device you might already own! For example, your PSP, i-Pod, video-Pod, 'whatever'-Pod, certain digital phones, cameras, video cameras, external HDDs, etc. The list of devices is limited to what your PS3 and computer can BOTH read. Experiment with whatever devices you already own! MEMORY CARD DEVICE AND YOUR PC: UPLOADING With the steps above completed, you've created a "PS3" folder on your USB Flash Drive. Now, take out the Flash Drive and insert it into your PC. Choose the Flash Drive and you'll see the newly created "PS3" folder. Click on it. Notice there are two different folders, one for "EXPORT" and one for "SAVEDATA." Click on the "EXPORT" folder and you'll see a new folder labeled "PSV" and click on that as well. Here's where you'll find your individual PS/PS2 game saves and game system data. Choose a particular game save, Zip it, and you're ready to upload it onto the internet. Easy. Don't forget to copy and save all PS, PS2 and PS3 game saves to your PC for backup. If your PS3 ever crashes or gets reformatted, you'll have copies of all your game saves on your PC. Also, it's a good idea to update the game saves every once in a while. Note: You can usually skip the game save compression (ZIP) if you download the game save to a media storage website. New! You can now upload your .PSV games saves here at GTPlanet.net using the "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS" feature found with every post you make without needing to first compress or Zip the file before uploading, unless it is larger than 1MB (GT4 for example)! MEMORY CARD DEVICE AND YOUR PC: DOWNLOADING Here's how to download game saves from the internet and place them on your Virtual Memory Card. Download the game save to your computer. UnZip it (Use the program that compressed the file to UnZip it) if it is zipped. (Most files below use WinRAR so use WinRAR Archiver.) Move or copy the un-Zipped (uncompressed) file to your USB 2.0 Flash Drive or other device in the proper location. But, make sure it's also "Unlocked" before transferring. Yes, some game saves are "locked" even after uncompressing, so make sure to use the program that first compressed the file to unlock it. If it's a "PSV" (PS or PS2) file, you must save it in the correct location. Save it in the folder labeled "PSV" which is found in the folder labeled "EXPORT" which is found in the folder labeled "PS3". If it's not saved precisely in this location, with all CAPITAL letters as I've written them, your PS3 wont be able to read it. Make sure to save PS3 game saves to the "SAVEDATA" folder found in the folder labeled "PS3" or they too wont show up on your PS3. Next, safely remove the USB Flash Drive from your PC and insert it into your PS3. Go to either "Game Save Utility" for PS/PS2 game saves or "Saved Data Utility" for PS3 game saves. Select the "USB Device" and push the X button. You should see PS/PS2 game saves exactly as they would appear on a real PS2 memory card. Choose a game save and push the Triangle button. Choose "Copy" and copy it to your virtual PS2 memory card. Done. You can now load that game save from your PS3 when you play that particular game. "How To Download A Compressed (ZIP, RAR) Game Save" Example! Download a .PSV game save file from the list of game saves below and save it to "My Downloads" on your computer, or where you want to save it that you can remember later. Go to where you saved it and right click the file and choose "Extract Here" from the list, if the game save is compressed. The new file that gets added to your list is now uncompressed but needs to open in WinRAR Archiver to unlock it, if that particular file was compressed with WinRAR. Note: Some files are compressed with Zip, so choose that program to 'unlock' the file if needed. When WinRAR Archiver opens up, it should list the now uncompressed file. If the file reads "PS3" then you need to open it all the way to a file the PS3 can read, which should be a "BASLUS-(a bunch of numbers).PSV" file. This is the file in its raw form. This particular file can now be moved to a storage device in a "PSV" folder, which needs to be in an "EXPORT" folder, which needs to be in a "PS3" folder. If it is not stored precisely in this location, the PS3 wont be able to read it and might display it as a "Corrupt File" which you wont be able to download to your PS3 HDD. Remember, PS3 game saves are stored in the "SAVEDATA" folder that is placed in the "PS3" folder. Don't place game saves in the wrong folder, or again your PS3 wont read the game save.

I do, but it wont Zip for some reason, so I cannot post it here. However, if you have MSN Messenger I can let you have it via my Shared Folder. I've done it before.
It's not a complete game, though, but I have all gold licenses, a nice garage of cars, plus 25 million credits and high "points." |

I can't decide on a title
Solid Lifters shared his game save with me, and I have since been able to zip it, but it is a 1.45MB file and GTplanet won't let me upload anything larger than 100kb.
EDIT: SolidLifters - put it in folders, and name it exactly like this and it should zip: PS3\EXPORT\PSV\BASCUS-9732847414D4544415441.PSV That's also the format I had to put your file in in order to get it to be recognized by the PS3.

So do I. I didn't make this file, so download at your own risk. I'm not sure what has been accomplished, but it's a 3x play through with Superhuman unlocked. It was found on another forum website and contributed by an unknown member.

Got 'ya listed. I'm heading out for a while. I'll be back around five or six hours from now.
EDIT: I made a Sharing Folder for you with MSN Messenger Live. Once you got it, click on "ACTIONS" and Create a Shared Folder or other options to download from Shared folders from me or other members.

Also, I cannot post the file here because the file is just too big. This file wont compress, for some reason, even with several different compressing programs. (EZ, WinRar, etc.) The only way I've been able to share the file is via MSN Messenger Live through the Shared Folder feature. Get it, contact me via it, and you can download the GT4 game save file from the Shared Folder I'll make for each of you. Solid |

If someone sends me a GT4 save game I can host it via www.

I've been playiing Final Fantasy 12 on the ps3. This morning I turned it on to find that my virtual memory card had been corupted. Does anyone have a save file before or at the start of The Stilshrine of Miriam? Any help would be appreciated as about 40 hours of gameplay is down the drain.
