Greetings... I came across this forum because I was Googling furiously for a solution to a crash I was experiencing on FF8 PC, but then got an idea for a workaround, which led me to this:

I don't know if this has been done before, but I've found a way to convert between FF8 savegame files, and a memcard file that can be read by the ePSXe emulator (which can then be converted to pretty much any Playstation memcard file).

I'm writing a command line program in Java to automate the process, but you'd need the Java VM to be able to run it. So let me know if you want me to learn C really quick, or just scrap the project.
 
Heh, well all the information is already out there, but I don't know if there's a dedicated tool to convert the files... I think there is (do some more googling for it if you don't want to risk doing work for naught). Also, if you're going through with writing it, I think people would prefer a non-Java version. :)

This exists already in PSXmemtool by a friend of mine.  I think you can still find it on www.NGEMU.com on psxmemtool.ngemu.com.

Dang looks like they removed it. I guess Simon hadn't updated it in over a year :roll:

Well the whole thing stalled when Simon got married.  Not necessarily because he got married but he decided he didn't like being a programer. :)
I suppose I should finish the project myself with the release of 2.0 sometime in the future.
Anyhow 1.18 (not shown) can convert between PC and PSX version.  Which Simon used to get around bugs in FF7.
