But despite my searching, I cannot for the life of me find a list of CD-based PS2 games on the Internet. So since I can only play games/music on CDs, that leaves me with PlayStation games and blue-bottom PS2 games. Trust me, I completely disaasembled the thing to get to the laser voltage controls, I know. PS2 discs actually can be extracted to an ISO using a regular DVD drive, but if you burn it to a DVD-R and put it in an unmodded PS2, it won't actually run because it knows it's not an original copy. This may be true in many circumstances, but not in mine - the unit's DVD laser is kaput, and is in need of replacement. Because my understanding is that the PS2, like most consoles, has DRM to prevent copied games from running. However I had heard the stories over the years about how this is easy to fix with a laser realignment.

You must click on the file so it is highlighted and then click again (this is not the same as double clicking, also do not leave it too long between clicks) This should now allow you to alter the filename as seen in this imageĪlternatively you can extract the file, delete it in PS2 Save Builder, change the filename in Windows and then add it back to the save, however the above method is much faster and easier.Yesterday I bought my first Playstation 2.

To start I load up my own GTA San Andreas save in PS2 Save Builder This can be found on the box, on the game disc and ideally, in one of your own saves (if you don’t have one yet quickly create one)Ī lot of people get confused when first using PS2 Save Builder, to open files you simply hit the Open button (marked with the red square in the picture) or use the File Menu, dragging and dropping files onto the program adds them to the currently opened save. The format of the save you wish to convert is not important so long as PS2 Save Builder can load it and supports saving in your desired formatĪpproximately 99% of saves can be converted between PAL and NTSC.įirst, you must know the Product ID of the game you want to use a save with. It is important to note that the method is the same if changing from PAL to NTSC and does not differ for other games. In this guide we will convert a GTA San Andreas save from NTSC to PAL
