The PCSX2 ecosystem includes raw card images, folder memory cards, emulator states, and third-party save archives. They are not interchangeable. SaveEditor activates this profile only for the standard raw-card and EMS PSU paths already backed by deterministic filesystem tests. Folder cards remain a PCSX2-managed directory format instead of being misrepresented as a safe one-file conversion.
01 / Tool workbench
Use the runtime only when it is actually ready.
The application shell fails closed. An input interface is not enabled merely because a WordPress Tool record exists; the declared engine must be registered in the current build.
Session change summary
No output has been built in this session.
02 / Compatibility
Know the supported input before opening a file.
Compatibility fields are intentionally explicit. Missing values stay unclaimed rather than being filled with generic assumptions.
Accepted extensions
.ps2.mcd.bin.raw.psu
Platforms
PCSX2 / PS2
Supported versions / editions
Standard raw PS2 memory-card images used by PCSX2 and EMS PSU single-save archives. PCSX2 folder memory cards are directory-backed sets rather than one equivalent single-file container and are not flattened by this tool.
Input constraints
This profile reuses the verified standard PS2 8 MiB filesystem implementation: data-only 8,388,608-byte cards or complete 528-byte physical-page images, plus strict EMS PSU single-save containers. Every traversed FAT and directory chain must remain valid.
Known limitations
No PCSX2 save-state conversion, folder-card import/export, MAX/CBS/SPS/PSV conversion, filesystem repair, ECC regeneration, nonstandard-card resizing, or game-specific payload editing is claimed.
Output / result
A normalized 8 MiB .ps2 image, an EMS .psu export from an eligible card directory, or extracted files from a validated PSU container. Source card allocation structures are never mutated.
03 / Instructions
Use a reversible workflow.
File-oriented workflows start with an untouched original. Tool-specific instructions add only details documented for this utility.
- 01Keep the original
Preserve an untouched copy before creating or transforming binary output.
- 02Confirm scope
Match the file size, format, platform, and version to the support information on this page.
- 03Process locally
Use the runtime only when the page reports that its declared engine is loaded.
- 04Validate output
Compare or test the result before replacing any working source file.
Tool-specific steps
Choose a standard PCSX2 memory-card image or PSU save. Inspect the validated structure, normalize a spare-area image to 8 MiB data bytes if needed, or export an eligible save folder as PSU. Keep original cards backed up.
04 / Privacy and processing
The processing mode is part of the product contract.
SaveEditor.com should state local processing only when the implementation truly keeps file contents in the browser. Server or hybrid processing must be disclosed just as clearly.

Tool-specific privacy notes
Phase 36 reads a selected file only after explicit local file selection. Parsing, inspection, normalization, extraction, and supported conversions run in the browser. The emulator-retro runtime contains no fetch, XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, or sendBeacon calls. The shared file ceiling is 16 MiB, with stricter format-specific limits where appropriate.
05 / Troubleshooting
When a file is rejected, do not force it.
A rejection can indicate an unsupported size, format, version, platform, or byte sequence. Preserve the original and correct the input instead of bypassing validation.
Re-check the documented input type and browser size limit before retrying.
A generic converter does not imply support for every game-specific container, signing scheme, or serialization format.
Return to the untouched source instead of repeatedly processing a damaged or partially transformed file.
Known Tool issues
If PCSX2 is configured for folder memory cards, use PCSX2 itself to manage that directory-backed card. Do not zip or concatenate a folder card and treat it as a .ps2 file. Unsupported proprietary save archives remain unsupported.
06 / Verification
Support claims should be traceable.
The verification date, method notes, and public references are kept separate from marketing language so compatibility can be reviewed over time.

Method notes
Verified by the Phase 34 PS2 filesystem/PSU suite against PCSX2 filesystem reference material and ps2dev mymc, with Phase 36 retaining those exact constraints and explicitly checking the current PCSX2 folder-card implementation boundary.
07 / FAQ
Questions to answer before editing.
These answers are generated from the Tool record and current runtime state rather than generic compatibility promises.
Is PCSX2 Save Converter ready to use?
The Tool record is verified and declares an operational runtime. The page enables its input controls only when the declared engine module is loaded in the current build.
Does processing stay in the browser?
Yes for this declared mode. The loaded runtime processes the explicit input in the browser; Tool-specific privacy notes describe the exact scope and limits.
Should I keep the original file?
Yes. Keep an untouched source file until any generated output has been validated.
What if my input is rejected?
Use the validation message to correct the base, encoding, width, timezone, byte alignment, or size. The runtime does not guess through invalid input.
