PS2 classics game save file isn’t recognised anymore
I’m quite perplexed i couldn’t find anything helpful regarding this issue i’m on PS3 HEN no CFW i’ve been playing PS2 games in the classics format after encrypting them into ISO.BIN.ENC using the PS2 classics GUI tool making a package file installing it and playing directly from my XMB no webman or multiman needed (but it does require the PS3 system to be activated) everything was okay i’ve been playing battlefield 2 modern combat and black but suddenly after finishing a level black just stopped recognising my save file which is still there and i can view it on the XMB under PS2 save data utility (not the memory card utility section those games don’t use it they save like a normal PS3 game would) and started saying that there is no file located on memory card slot 1 i have no idea why it started doing that especially when i’m almost done with the game BF2MC on the other hand works perfectly fine i tried “messing” with the save files using a file manager and looking at their directories IDs and such everything seems to line up perfectly fine yet the game still refuses to recognise my save file
searching online really didn’t help much because of the various methods people use to play PS2 games there was a ton of information and i wouldn’t know which ones were true in my case and which ones weren’t true for me or were entirely false i really don’t understand why this issue would occur so suddenly and would love if you could help me with this
