  1. a guide to locating, backing up, and restoring saves on PS2 memory cards;
  2. instructions for using PC tools or emulators (e.g., PCSX2) to manage/convert saves;

  4. something else?

Pick one and I’ll produce the long text.

What’s actually different about DW6 PS2 saves vs. PS3/360

For anyone confused: The PS2 version of DW6 is not a direct port of the PS3/360 version. Key differences that affect save files:

  • No "Skill Tree" – PS2 uses the old-style stat growth from previous DW games. You buy stats directly with gold (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Jump, Renbu duration). This means saves can be fully edited with a simple hex editor. Do you want a long text about PS2

  • No "Duel Mode" – That was next-gen only.

  • Weapon system – PS2 retains the "weapon type" system (Sword, Spear, Halberd, etc.) but without the "weapon weight" mechanic from DW5. Saves store weapon data as 2-byte IDs per character. a guide to locating, backing up, and restoring

  • Horses – The PS2 version still has rare horses, but the breeding/minigame is simpler. Horse stats (Speed, Jump, Charge, Stamina) are stored plainly in the save.

  • Save structure – DW6 PS2 uses a single .max or .psu file (if using CodeBreaker/AR Max) or a raw .ps2 save folder. The file size is usually around 1.5–2 MB.

B. Game Data (Save States)

These are the specific progress files for individual playthroughs.

  • Musou Mode: Stores the progress of a specific officer’s campaign (Stage progress, character level, weapon stats).
  • Free Mode: Does not usually require a separate save, relying on System Data.
  • Challenge Mode: Stores high scores.
