Did you format you your flash drive? I believe it has to be formatted in Fat32.

Well you extract the file inside zip file. Place the file fat32format.exe here.

  Code:
C:/fat32format.exe


The open a command prompt and type:

  Code:
cd c:\


Then type:

  Code:
fat32format.exe


Now you will see some options. The program refers to the drive as X but you should us whatever letter your computer has registered your flash drive to. Mine was G: but yours could be anything. Then just type:

  Code:
Fat32Format X:


Just remember to change X to your flash drives letter. That's it your done.

Now open the Flash drive with windows explorer and create a folder called PS3. Then inside the PS3 folder create another called SAVEDATA. Inside of the SAVEDATA folder is where you drop the BLUE???? folder with all the save files. It should show up on your PS3 now. Let me know if that worked. If it did I will create a tutorial for all the users having trouble.

i got it done, but i could only do it by copying the 'fat32format.exe' into 'C:\WINDOWS'. i think this is the only way it works. and if you make the video, remind people to close all windows containing the flash drive/memory stick/etc.
thanks 4 ur help

When you extract the files that you download here they should be in a BLUE folder with numbers after it. I uploaded a Wrestling save here if you need an example. If you extract the save and it is not in a BLUE folder then you have to name the folder to the correct BLUE name. This I don't know for sure but if you create a new save on your PS3 for the game you are wanting top load a save for then you will have the correct name for the new BLUE folder. Wow, ok that was even confusing to me. Do this.

1. Take the game you are working with and create a new save on your PS3.
2. Take your flash drive and copy the save on your PS3 to the flash drive.
3. On your computer see what the correct name for the BLUE folder should be.
4. Download the save you want to use from the site here.
5. If it is just files with no BLUE folder, make a folder and name it the same as the one you took off your PS3.
6. Create these folders on your flash drive.

  Code:
X:/PS3/SAVEDATA
Note: X refers to the root of your flash drive.


7. Drop the new BLUE folder you made in the SAVEDATA folder.
8. Copy the new save onto your PS3 from the flash drive.

Note: It may ask you if you want to replace the existing save. Just say yes. Or you can delete the old save before you try to upload the new one.

Try this and let me know if it works for ya. Please be advised that the BLUE??? refers to the folder name BLUE followed by the game id. Each game uses a specific code for their saves and if you don't have the correct id the save will show as corrupt because it is looking for the folder with it's id.

yeah i found out how to do it.
firstly, when you download the game save and unzip it, you need to find the folder with the game data in it. its usually beside the 'readme' file.
second, cut it and paste into the SAVEDATA file.
third, plug the flash drive/etc. into the PS3 and download the save.

it worked pretty well so thanks 4 the help.
u shud b able 2 make ur video now
