[havshulevski321]

i cant open the ps2 save builder! i tried to run it as administrator but it failed as well! help me please!

[gamedexterity]

@havshulevski321 I just did this last night with win 7 and admin mode, and no issues. Try a different PC.

[uchihasasuke69786]

how can I "mipulate" save game files? Lol U mad bro?

[gamedexterity]

@uchihasasuke69786 Editing save game files is beyond my knowledge of expertise. Consult psx-scene forums.

[vilivan1]

So do i need a memory card for this ?

[gamedexterity]

@vilivan1 Well, if you have a method for transferring files, then go for it. I know of this method, and thats what I do.

[Nassif9000]

how do u make ur ps2 work with freemcboot without a disc?

[marx1996]

@Nassif9000 do you mean without swaps magic

[Nassif9000]

@marx1996 no, he used his ps2 with free mcboot without the need to put the freemcboot disc, i then knew that my version can't use such a thing and i needed the disc everytime

[marx1996]

@Nassif9000 do ypu have a slim i used an exploit

[Nassif9000]

@marx1996 yes, i do have a slim

[marx1996]

@Nassif9000 and is it made before march of 2008

[DWIWindsands]

How do u get the ulaunch to work I tried to burn an image of it but the Ps2 doesn't read the disc?

[gamedexterity]

@DWIWindsands Of course, you need swap magic to boot it. Or if you have FMCB, you can put ulaunchelf in the FMCB and run it from there.

[DWIWindsands]

@gamedexterity Thank you for your help & time. I apolagize for being such a noob & not knowing what to do. Do I have to purchase swap disc or will it work if i ISO burn a torrent download? Again thank you for ur time I'm trying to be fast & inexpensive as possible.

[MrHakansas]

beacuse im in europe and theres no codebreaker for bully.

[gamedexterity]

@MrHakansas Come again? I have no idea, as I don't use codebreaker.

[MrHakansas]

does it have to be a codebreaker file?

[marloneduardo1000]

mine says paste failed. what can i do for that

[gamedexterity]

@marloneduardo1000 Try it again. If you do a copy, you can paste it.

[OzuHikaru]

Excuse me.but do I Really have to use the less than 1GB USB or any USB is fine?

[gamedexterity]

@OzuHikaru Any size is fine. I was just using an example. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

[OzuHikaru]

@gamedexterity Thank to You, I was able to transfer the save files.I'm in your debt!!!

[a7mdoh6]

buy ps3

[gamedexterity]

@a7mdoh6 I have a PS3, and its jailbreaked by myself, but there is no shame in playing old school PS2 games. xD

[a7mdoh6]

@gamedexterity

i wanna ply pipsi man ^_^

[LittleMagicKid2012]

and can i do this without the ulaunchelf

[gamedexterity]

@LittleMagicKid2012 No, unless you go buy AR MAX.

[LittleMagicKid2012]

can i do this without the free MCboot thing??

[XMasterDragon]

You could just copy some downloaded PS2 games to your HD then insert and play...

[gamedexterity]

@XMasterDragon What if your memory card got full? Whats your advice then?

[XMasterDragon]

@gamedexterity

Move those saves onto your hard drive then delete them and use The space..

[shinobie91]

oh my god u save me :)))

[trukilla17]

do you have to get ur ps2 modded or what i gotta slim

[gamedexterity]

@trukilla17 Yes, that is the bottom line. The real question is how you going to mod it. If you have a model number less than SCPH-9XXXX you can install FMCB if you got the right tools of course.

[youugly0000]

so with this i can use my flash drive as a memory card

[gamedexterity]

@youugly0000 Not quite. You can transfer save files to flash drive so you have more space on the regular 8mb card.

[TheBcns]

it works thank you very much!!!!!!!!!

[ReverseMyFate]

It freezes when I click circle at Mass, am I doing something wrong?

[gamedexterity]

@ReverseMyFate Try Fat16 or Fat32 thumbdrive. - Versatile

[ReverseMyFate]

@gamedexterity It's FAT32.

[gamedexterity]

@ReverseMyFate How big is this thumbdrive?

[ReverseMyFate]

@gamedexterity It is 4gb

[Chrisblizzack27]

do i need to install anything on the ps2 or memory card before i can transfer any data, becouse i see free mc boot on the screen when you start up the ps2?

[gamedexterity]

@Chrisblizzack27 There are a lot of ways to do what I just did in the video. Using the ulaunchelf is one method. What is your method?

[sexykid8023]

thnx man....

helped me a lot

[ChrisTheBest1992]

does this works for samurai warriors 1 and samurai warriors 2?

[gamedexterity]

@ChrisTheBest1992 Yes of course!

[kratostamilgamer]

can you make a video how to make that title scene .and the ending clip ?

[gamedexterity]

@kratostamilgamer Not sure, it is way too much work to make them. The intro I made myself, the ending I did not, my partner made it. The quick answer is learn how to use adobe after effects. The intro you see above took me 4 hours, only because I was new at the time and still learning. If you watch my latest upload, that intro with the pink background took me about 2-3 hours with tweaking. - Versatile

[gamedexterity]

@jally2k11 Not good enough. Watch the FMCB tutorials that I have.

[maazss4]

hey plz answer my 2 questions:

1) if i have a ps1 game (which does not save on ps2 memory card) can i save the ps1 save game on it and make it work?

2) how do you make such awsesome intos and outros (program name plz)

[gamedexterity]

@maazss4 1) No, go buy a PS1 memory card. 2) I use adobe after effects for both. The outro was a mix of cinema 4d and adobe after effects.

[maazss4]

@gamedexterity k Thnx a bunch!

[vampire123ish]

@gamedexterity um yah quick question that dident make any since when u put the real game in so my question is can it still work with out the reall game disk please write back tyvm

[gamedexterity]

@vampire123ish Huh what? Save games work with backed up games too.

[keemy187]

does this work on gta san andreas ..? plzz sayy yesss :(

[gamedexterity]

@keemy187 Yes of course it does.

[keemy187]

@gamedexterity um last question...do your ps2 have to be urgraded/moded for this whole process to work ..?

[gamedexterity]

@keemy187 Yes, you need the tools. An ordinary PS2 off the shelf is not going to work right.

[MrsExecutionerz]

Er may i know how u got ur ps2 slim menu updated like urs? @@

[gamedexterity]

@MrsExecutionerz It's called FMCB. See my ps2 tutorials. -Versatile

[liljolt]

[gamedexterity]

@liljolt No, I always had swap magic, the best 30 bucks I spent in 2007.

[liljolt]

[SPSD96]

[gamedexterity]

@ichigopck You need a modding tool to get the job started. This is why some guys mail their memory cards to volunteers to get it modded, or find a friend who already has a modchip or swap magic to install fmcb.

[shadowscorpio1858]

u rock dude!

[bigSpidermanfan]

You didn't show how to get that UlaunchELF

[gamedexterity]

@bigSpidermanfan Its from sksapps.See my other ps2 tutorial that shows you how to burn the ulaunchelf disc.

Is there a save builder for mac ?

@AiRGuNmOdEr I would appreciate it if you spend an hour and watch my other PS2 videos in my ps2 playlist. One video talks about FMCB, what it is, and how to install it. - Versatile

[CyberSymbiote]

Thanks =)

[jhonnypaulie]

[gamedexterity]

@CyberSymbiote Paste is good enough. - Versatile

[raymondmechiel]

thanks!



[protestifications]

does it have to be a slim ps2?

[gamedexterity]

@protestifications No, it works on fat too. Didn't you see the yellow annotation at the very beginning lower left hand corner? WTF!

[protestifications]

@gamedexterity i turned annotations off, don't treat me like an idiot.

[gamedexterity]

@protestifications It's my fault. I didn't realize that there is a large population of viewers with annotations off. Based upon your feedback, I'm updating the more info section right now so this doesn't happen again. Thanks.

[SteakzVids]

@gamedexterity Thank you so much! It's worked on my slim PS2, GOSH! I would download many save files and always view this video.. xD because I'm forgetter. THX, I subscribe to you :)

[gamedexterity]

@SteakzVids Shh, don't tell anyone. I always watch my own videos too if I forget! - Versatile

[TheHazenOne]

I want to convert a save game file from pal to ntsc using PS2 Save Builder. When I copy the savedata from the memory card to the flash drive and plug it into my computer, PS2 Save Builder doesn't recognize the numerous files. What should I do to make it recognize? Thanks

[gamedexterity]

@TheHazenOne Best to ask the psx-scene (dot) com forums on this topic. Maybe its a region issue thing. - Versatile

[Maratletoso]

Hey, thanks.... it worked at perfection for me.

Two small details though... (1) The memory stick (or flash drive) has to formated in "FAT" not in "FAT32". and (2) You have to do a a "mcpaste" instead of just "paste" to copy fron the flash drive to the memory card. At least that was what I do to make it work.

thanks a lot!! =D

(ps: I used "ulaunchelf " v4.42 in CD, and a 4GB Kingston flash drive.)
