Keep an untouched copy before conversion, editing, repair, or checksum work.
PlayStation / Save hub
PS1 save files & tools
Original PlayStation memory-card and save-file documentation, conversion references, and compatible retro utilities.
01 / Platform context
Match the save workflow before choosing a tool.
SaveEditor.com treats the platform as part of compatibility. File locations, containers, byte order, memory-card formats, emulator behavior, account binding, and signing can change what is safe or technically possible.
Verified and in-development Tools are clearly separated. Planned records do not appear here.
Browser-local, server, hybrid, and informational workflows are labeled at Tool level.
02 / Game hubs
Published PS1 game-save hubs
A Game Hub is useful documentation. It does not imply a game-specific Save Editor exists; each card shows linked Tool state separately.
The platform page does not create placeholder game records merely to look populated.
03 / Active tools
PS1 tools with explicit support state
Only published Verified and In Development Tool records are shown. Planned and deprecated Tools are excluded from this hub.
File Analysis
PS1 Card Directory Auditor
Audit all 15 PS1 memory-card directory frames, states, links and per-frame XOR checksum status.
File Analysis
PS1 Card Block Chain Analyzer
Trace bounded PS1 save block chains and compare each chain with its reported block count.
File Analysis
PS1 Card Checksum Auditor
Report the PS1 header XOR checksum and all 15 directory-frame checksum results without repairing any byte.
File Analysis
PS1 Card Free Space Map
Map all 15 PS1 data-directory slots as active, linked, free/deleted or unknown and report used/free counts.
File Analysis
PS1 Save Title Metadata Viewer
Read the bounded first-block PS1 title metadata already exposed by the verified card parser.
File Analysis
PS1 Save Icon Frame Inspector
Report declared PS1 save icon-frame counts from first-block metadata without decoding or rewriting artwork.
File Analysis
PS1 Save File Size Auditor
Compare each active PS1 save file size, reported block count, traced chain length and chain capacity.
File Analysis
PS1 Deleted Entry Inspector
Expose deleted PS1 directory metadata that the existing parser can identify, without restoring or modifying deleted blocks.
File Analysis
PS1 MCS Directory Frame Inspector
Inspect one strict MCS directory frame, declared size, block count and checksum while leaving payload bytes opaque.
File Analysis
PS1 Wrapper Payload Boundary Inspector
Prove exact payload offsets for strict raw, DexDrive GME, VGS/MEM or PSX memory-card representations.
File Analysis
PS1 VGS/MEM Fingerprint
Prove a high-confidence PS1 VGS/MEM Fingerprint match from strict local content/structure checks without trusting filename extension or byte length alone.
File Analysis
PS1 PSX Memory Card Fingerprint
Prove a high-confidence PS1 PSX Memory Card Fingerprint match from strict local content/structure checks without trusting filename extension or byte length alone.
