Extract PS2 Save File

PS2 saves come in a ton of different formats. I'll cover a few of the most common kinds here:

Digital PS2 save files (AR Max, CodeBreaker, nPort, XPort, Sharkport, etc.)

  • If your save file is in one of these formats, then follow these instructions.
    • .pws (AR Max Cower Save)
    • .max (AR Max V2)
    • .cbs (Code Breaker Saves)
    • .psu (Memory Linker)
    • .npo (NPort)
    • .spo (Shark Port 1)
    • .sps (Shark Port 2)
    • .md (Shark Port)
    • .p2m (Xploder 4 Pro)
    • .xpo (X-Port 1)
    • .xps (X-Port 2)
