How do you convert a ps2 saved game file (.max, .psu, .cbs, .etc) into the ps3 memory card format? (.psv)

I have a ps3 that allows me to play older ps1 and ps2 games. When I had my ps2, a way to backup the files was using ActionMax files (.max). So all my games are backed up on my computer. However, I am having trouble converting these files to .psv format so I can put them on my ps3! Help! I wanna play some of my old games again! :)

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

PS2 Memory Cards Require Adapter for PS3 Transfers (Conversions). You will need to buy one.

I have the memory card reader already, but that in itself does not answer my question. :) I need to convert .max files to .psv so I can use them on my ps3 (to access ps2 saved games).

Hmmm... No dice here either. This just leads me to a thread of people asking other people to convert the file for them, with no clear explanation of how to do it. I was hoping Mahalo Answers would actually prompt someone to answer my question instead of just sending me to links where the questions isn't really answered. :( @kevinbernard31: have you done this yourself?

Currently, there is no software available to convert PS2 save game files to the PSV format the PS3 uses. Simply putting those file types on a thumbdrive and importing into the PS3 won't work, even if you put them in the right directory.

However, if you have a PS2 memory card and a PS1/2 to PS3 memory card reader, you can put your old save game files on your memory card (via PC/PS1/PS2), then import them into your PS3. Once they're converted, you can copy them out of your PS3 and back onto your computer again (A smart tech-savvy individual could compare the pre- and post-conversion file differences to see what changes have been made to the file).

This process is the only known way to convert your old saves to the PSV format.

Try burning the max files into a empty cd or dvd. If it doesn't work i'm deeply sorry if it does... Hurrah! How ever I never tried it cause i'm a pussy.

Yikes! The first link is in Italian, and when translated. talks about modding your ps2, which does not answer my question. The second link are instructinos on how to get a PSV file off your PS3 and onto your PC. (Not answering my question at all!) And the third link is talking about converting saved game files for a PS2 EMULATOR program, not for PS3 psv files... Bummer! It appears as though people are using the shotgun approach to answering my question (sending me a bunch of untested links) instead of taking the time to actually answer my question. :\ :(

Yikes. None of these links (I had seen many of these already doing a few Google searches *before* coming to Mahalo Answers!) came up with anything helpful. They all tend to go off topic but none seem to have an answer for converting .MAX or .CBS files to .PSV... Bummer.
