PC to PS2 Memory Card help

Borat_Sagdiyev

Hi there,

Apologies if this is a total newbie question but I've searched the sticky threads here and didn't find anything relating to this.

I'd like to have all teams/player names/stadium names/etc.... updated on my PS2 but I don't want to sit there for hours on end editing the names of players with the PS2 controller, as anyone can imagine, its a pain in the ass.

Just wondering, is there a device out there that will allow me to edit the files on my memory card using my pc?

This would also solve another problem: 30 euro for 8 megs (grrr).

Thanks in advance.

Yeah. There's a device called a Max Drive, which is a USB device.

So, plug it into the PC, dowload option file onto it.

Then plug it into your ps2 and voila !

Should cost < €20

Cool, where would I get one of these?

Would I have to get it online or would most computer hardware places have it? Didn't think there would be such a thing tbh, I'm delighted!

Its for sale on play.com but id be suprised if either GAME or Gamestop didn't have it.

If they don't have it and you don't have a credit card you could one of those 3V voucher things to use for online shopping.

Whats it like? I've read a few reviews about some of them and they 'tend' to delete your saved games a bit. Whatcha think?

That can happen with any transfer device.

I've been using the old school Xport V2 for the last 3 years and I've used it more times than 100 people will in their lifetimes. Only once has it given me a Memory Card error and even then I had all the game saves backed up on my PC anyway.

I wouldn't worry about the horror storied putting you off, every electronic gadget has some.

Formatted my mem card on me, lost a 160 hour FFX save on it, and countless master league saves.

I am interested in getting one of these (Max Drive) especially since I need a new memory card anyway. £9.99 on play.com (just a quick not to people to never set the currency to euros on play.com, they completely rip you off and you don't have to pay commission on any purchase made with the currency set in sterling) However I've noticed on Pesfan the option files have been removed due to legal difficulties. Is it still possible to download updated option files?

The Max Drive uses software that quite clearly shows the USB as USB and memory card as memory card, you have to ok any formatting so if you did it by accident well that would be stupid.

Have the Max Drive and never once has it anything dodgy. Used it quite a lot Argos have it for €24.99 and Game for €29.99. Esssential purchase if you play PES.

Cool thanks, I'll probably wait until after the transfer window is closed to update anyway.

Thanks for all the help people. I found a few option files on www.gamefaqs.com but none of what I want.

Don't suppose anyone has an option file or knows if its possible to get the following?

nothing unlocked, no PES shop points, all cup/team/league/player names correct

I found a few where nothing is unlocked and all names correct but they've left something like 9999 PES points for the shop in there. Handy if you like that sort of thing but I'd prefer to work at it

I'll give you one if you want. You need AR Max PS2, just uncrush it to your memory card (you'll need to delete the old option file first or move it to your PC). This option file has all the correct names etc. but some of the trophies are already won, so you won't get the PES for winning them - this was how it was when I downloaded it.
Anyway here you go
