PIC1.PNG from save file |
While most people are playing Borderlands 2 which released last week, I'm still stucked with the first game. Ming and I were having a gaming marathon last weekend, finally killed the last boss at Level 34 soldier class, sweeeeet!! Next thing to do is to finish the DLCs, another 10 hours to spend?!
Case:
- Own an Asia version of Borderlands GOTY game- Wish to play in Australia server
- Create a new PSN ID using Australia address and sign in
- Copy Borderlands save file from Asia's PSN profile to Australia's PSN profile
- Load save file in Australia's PSN profile, able to see the save file (when you choose "Existing Character") but fail to load
Solution:
Step | Description |
---|---|
01 | Remove Borderlands game save file (NOT the profile data) under Australia's PSN profile. |
02 | Copy the original save file under Asia's PSN profile and transfer it to computer. You will notice this folder structure: "PS3 > SAVEDATA > BLExxx-SAVE-SAVE0001", you will find 5 files, which consists of:
|
03 | Run Borderlands game on Australia's PSN profile, start a new game and level up once. Then, press "Start", choose "Exit". This will create a new save game file, copy it to the thumbdrive. |
04 | Here's the important part!! Copy ONLY the "SAVE00001.SAV" in step 02 (Asia profile) and overwrite the one in thumbdrive (Australia profile). |
05 | Remove the new save file under Australia PSN profile. Then, copy the modified save file from thumbdrive to PS3. |
06 | Run the game again, choose "Existing character" to load the modified save file. You may notice the game character info is not updated (Level 2 in this case) but it's totally fine. Once it's loaded, your game character is carried forward from previous account. Hit "Exit" to save necessary bits to this profile. Enjoy! |
As the filenames indicate, PARAM.* files are storing values for validation and summary purpose while SAVExxx.SAV contains the main saved game data.
