Conversion Issues

[GameMisconduct]

I searched the forums and didn't see a thread that had a similar issue to what I have ran across. I have been attempting to get the Xbox 1992 roster file functioning on the PS2. I get to the final product and all I can get is the PS2 claiming the file is damaged yet it works fine in Finn's editor. It's left me puzzled. Any help would be appreciated.

It should work. If you continue having problems, I'll try to do the conversion early next week and see if I can get it to work. If you want me to do that, just point me in the direction of the exact file you're trying to convert.

That is the process that I have been using. For some reason its not liking the 1992 Rosters when I try it. I'm trying to get Suirad's 1992-93 saves converted to MAX format. Like I said before, it's making me quite confused. It loads fine in Finn's editor. I've even tried making a few depth chart changes and re-saving but all attempts have come back with a damaged result in 2k5.

Its a real head scratcher.

I was having the same problem but someone told me to do this -

Go to My Computer > Control Panel > Folder Options

In Folder Options, click on "view" and uncheck the box where it says - "hide extensions for known file types". This will allow the .DAT extension to appear on the file so when you rename it, the .DAT extension will be deleted.

After you uncheck that box, go through the process as normal including using FINN's editor to bypass the CRC check and when you check in-game you should be able to load the file without any problems. The "damaged" message is because the .DAT extension is still attached to the file.

You shouldnt have any problems but be sure that if you check tht box later on for whatever reason, you'll have to uncheck the box for whenever you want to convert an Xbox zip file to an PS2 max drive file.

Works like a charm! Thanks for the assistance.

Sure. I converted 1992 and 1999 seasons. I wanted to see what it would be like had Don Majkowski never went down with an injury.
