PS3 virtual memory card to .gme and .max file conversions

[tjoris9]

I got a PS3 a couple days ago and I'm wondering how converting the virtual memory card (VMC) files into Dex Drive and Max Drive files works.

I still have my PS2 and the max drive disk, so I can still make games for .max and convert them into VMC files without a problem, though I think I may prefer to make them as VMC files originally, since there's a lot less system swapping involved if I decide to play some Untold Legends or Resistance between RPGM3 sessions (Not a big problem, though). Plus I can label and relabel VMC files relatively easily.

Regarding dex drive files, is it possible to make the conversion with just the Dex Drive software, or is the hardware needed as well?

Re: PS3 virtual memory card to .gme and .max file conversions

to convert virtual memory card files to .max and .gme, you'll need a PS3 memory card adapter. transfer the memory card file from the PS3 to a memory card inserted into the adapter, and then use the memory card as you always would to turn the save into a .max or .gme file. and yes, the dex drive hardware is needed.

I thought the adapter was only a one way transfer. I already have one, I just haven't used it yet.

Thank you, Valk.

I guess I'm still dependent on someone with a dex drive to make the .gme files (Unless I decide to get one on E-Bay), but it's really nice to know I can transfer saves to memory cards that easily.

I lost my adapter a while back (which is why there hasnt been any conversions for quite a while) and found it over the weekend, so I'll be starting conversions again.any games that are submitted as virtual memory cards will also be converted into gme or max files as well.
