That is crazy. I never thought it would be possible otherwise I would have kept all my cards.
Some real digital history record keeping there! This stuff is so cool and is something we never considered with all those random memory cards we gave away and sold.
I'm so jealous.
If you had access to wLE already, why didn't you just back up the saves to a flash drive, or just make a complete image of the memory card?
Also on PS3, can't you just copy saves to a flash drive in the stock OS? Even if not, jailbreaking is easy.
IIRC when looking into this originally, there are multiple tools necessary due to additional metadata on the MCs: mcpaste for PS1 saves, psupaste for PS2 saves, and the PS3 uses an entirely different format that needs to be converted prior to use (I don't remember if you need to jailbreak to get the keys for this)
Felt there was a bit too much manual stuff involved which could allow human error to come in and mess something up. I did do a copy + psupaste to the internal HDD on a new partition just in-case, but there was no way I was going to risk copying those back onto my only memory card to test if it actually was done right ๐
The original MC was near full as well, so it's pretty nice to also be able to spin up new ones when needed (to be fair I believe OPL has a similar feature built in, although some games may freeze using it)
Nice that you finally got one!
I am also thinking about buying one, but I'm hoping they'll do a clear blue version like they did for the PS1. I currently have 2 clear blue official memory cards in my PS2 and really like the look, so it would be cool if I could keep that color scheme.
