How do I get my FF8 game save off my PS1 memory card

[Xelax]

I just don't want to start all over again it took me a long time to get the Strongest Weapons for my characters in Disc 1 so is there any way I can retrieve it from my memory card put in my pc and convert it?

I'm not completely certain, but I think the only way is to either buy or build your own memory card reader for your PC. I'm an electronics hobbyist, so I did the latter using a controller/memory card module from an old broken Playstation. If this isn't an option, you may be able to find an old used Dexdrive on ebay or something. I'm pretty sure that all of them used a 9 pin serial interface, so if you've got a new computer without a serial port on the back, it won't do you much good.

Once you've got your saves, it's a relatively simple matter of using CWCheat to copy them over one of the "virtual memory cards" used by POPS.

I think there's a way to manage them with a networked hard/softmodded Playstation 2 and ExecFTP (program you run on the PS2).
