Prerequisites
There is no PS2 memory card slot in the PS3 so will need a Memory Card Adaptor. Sony made an official adapter but there are also a number of cheaper alternatives. Buy one online:
Steps
- Plug your PS2 memory card into the adaptor
- Plug the adaptor into a free USB port on your PS3
- Go to the "Game" menu in the XMB and choose "Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2)"
- If the adaptor is working you should see an item called "Memory Card (PS2)". Below the title should be the size of the card and how much is in use-in my case "1334 KB / 7998 KB"
- Press the controller's Triange button to get the Memory Card options. Select "Copy"
- Select "Yes" to confirm the copy from memory card to the hard drive
- Enter a name for the new Internal Memory Card that will be created on the hard drive, or leave the default name. I named mine "Original PS2 saves". Select "OK"
- The data will be copied. If the amount of saved data is too large, the system will automatically create multiple internal memory cards
- You may be informed that the new internal card has been assigned to a "slot". These slots are an emulation of the physical memory card slots in the PS2, so similarly you may only have two internal/virtual cards "plugged in" (assigned) at a time. The internal memory card must be assigned to slot 1 or 2 to be available when you run PS2 games
- The new internal memory card should now be showing in the XMB, under Game > Memory Card Utility
- Selecting the card will allow you to browse the game saves that were copied across!
