Okay, two languages session...

You either need to upload it using the official X-Port thing to your memory card, either convert it to npo using one the softwares on http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.ph ... load&cid=1 to then upload it on your memory card using nPort

Tu dois soit utiliser le bidule officiel X-Port pour envoyer la sauvegarde sur ta cartouche mémoire, soit utiliser les logiciels de la page ci-dessus pour convertir la sauvegarde au format npo et ensuite l'envoyer sur ta cartouche mémoire en utilisant nPort.

Do I have to use the memory card ? Can't I directly read it on my PC ?
Please, never answer in french only.

You can read it on your PC, for example, using PS2 Save Builder on the page I gave. But what good would it be for ?

Tu peux les lire sur ton PC, par exemple, avec PS2 Save Builder, sur la page précédente. Mais à quoi bon... ?

Reply files only contain the smallest amount of information needed for the game to recreate what happened. The game they came from is the only thing that can understand them.

Maybe... TV screen captures using a simple TV-capture card.

One thing I've noticed is that people who are learning english think that it is bad, but it's really quite good. I, for one, could or can, never tell that english isn't their native language. Maybe they are really commited.
