Save Slicer Beta 2 is nearly ready, this time featuring full conversion to nPort format. Incidently I was using the wrong command flag in BETA 1, use a instead of -a
Update Check is down…
Well my access to the server that controls Update Check is, until further notice you will not be able to accurately check for new versions of programs from PS2 Save Tools, this will be addressed in future updates though, starting with Save Slicer Beta 2
Added support for nPort saves
Auto naming of sliced sections
Auto preperation of saves for nPort conversion
Auto preperation creates a correctly named folder and slices a save into sections placing them in the folder in preperation for nPort conversion, it even provides the correct command to create the save with npo-x.exe
Unfortuantly I was unable to pass command line arguments to npo-x.exe and check on it’s status, so auto conversion is not included with this release, perhaps in a future tool….

Just updating this as I type, here’s the change-log so you know what to expect.
I should have a beta available to members either today or tomorrow
* Auto-naming of sliced sections
* Support for nPort saves
* Automaticly slice a save and build an nPort save from the sections (still being programmed in, requires the npo-x.exe included with nPort)
As indicated I’ve added an nPort section to the FAQ and I am working on implementing .npo support into the existing programs here.
I’ve added the documents section to the website and there’s no better way than to start than with an excellent PDF guide to the PS2 icon format by Martin Åkesson. I’ll be adding a great document on the Action Replay 2/GameShark2 code save format by NOVICE in a few days.
I’ve also added a new downloads section, PS2 Save Development, here you will find some useful stuff, starting with Martin Åkesson’s great C library for icons, you can use this to help create your own programs in C for dealing with PS2 save icons
I might change the site around a little to accomodate these great new additions, but we’ll have to see how succesfull I am
If you have anything to contribute to these new sections, or indeed any part of the site, please don’t hesitate to get in touch
Some great news about the MAC software for the EMS USB Memory Card Adapter, g-epux was sent my way yesterday, I’ll let Martin tell it in his own words
The program will be able to backup a whole card aswell as
restore it later, it will also be possible to download/upload single
savegames
He was also generous enough to include a screenshot

I suggest you all give his great PS2 Dev site, Placid PS2 Development a visit too
Yup, it’s time to put your face on a save
Sjeep, a homebrew developer for the PS2 has released bmp2icon, a useful tool that will create a valid PS2 icon out a 128×128 24bit bmp with the choice of three shapes.
Grab this great tool from Misc Downloads section
nPort is a save transferring program designed for use with Naplink
Made by WiRe of Napalm, nPort allows anyone with a chipped PS2, a copy of Naplink and a pl2301 USB cable to transfer saves to and from their PC/PS2. This is BETA software, if you want to give it a go head on over to wiRe’s page
I’ve just fitted a new hard drive to the PC so I can do DV editing, due to this I have reorganised my system layout and reinstalled Windows. I have not got round to installing any development software yet so there will be no program updates until I get organised again
Updated GT3 Garage Editor to v38 in the downloads section
