I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think a regular USB mem stick will work with a ps2. PS2 Save Builder will enable you to convert, say, a .max file to compatible files for X-Port, Sharkport, and a couple of other specific devices that are meant to transfer from PS2 to PC and vice versa. Ultimately, my point was that you don't have to get an AR Max in order to be able to use the files in this thread. You have a couple of options.

The thing is, you could go a variety of different routes here: AR Max, Sharkport, X-Port, PSP w/ Media Manager, etc. The files in this thread have been .max files, but if you don't have or get that device you can always use PS2 Save Builder to convert them to the relevant file you need. If you still are lost, snoop/search around the forums for more explicit advice.

Aight, Bet..I'm good now, Thank you

Anyone try these yet? (meaning the franchise file and the rosters). Do they work? Anyone having success who's downloaded them? I'm excited.

I've had success with the roster file on PS3 because its already been converted to a PSV File but I need someone to convert the Franchise file also then everything will be great.

[Steelersfan85]

Yes, people have had success with the franchise and the roster files.

I cannot get by the preseason after year 1 with the new PS3 rosters. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes - And I doubt it's just a PS3 problem. I'm pretty sure that roster (connol's, I believe) wasn't meant to take directly into a franchise. He could probably answer that better than I could, though.

Any chance that someone will be converting JSOU's final roster update to the PS2? Been using PUJA21'S and I've really liked them. Just wanted to see how JSOU'S final update was and have no clue how to convert the file from xbox to PS2 file.

I am currently waiting for Puja to finish his latest roster and then I will convert that. As far as JOSU's roster I won't since I will be using Puja's and I don't have much time to convert them. I am using GR18's until Puja finishes his rosters.

I don't have any real insight here. I suspect that all the importing is what causes the file to seize up. If Finn can eventually get the straight conversion to work, this problem will hopefully disappear.

Barring that, at least you can make it through the current season...

I'm inclined to wait for puja's new roster if I'm going to convert any more files, although Steelersfan85 might beat me to it.

Honestly, if you want to convert JSOU's file on your own, it's not too difficult. All you'd have to do is open up JSOU's file in the editor, export each team, and then open up a PS2 file and import the teams one-by-one. The trick is to make sure you have the same number of active players on each team of the PS2 roster before you try to do the importing. Also, don't forget to import and/or adjust any relevant coaches or team settings. When you're done, make sure you restore stuff, too. Pretty straight forward, really.
