| Summary: USB cable and Max Drive for $15!
89
I'm pretty good when it comes to tech and PCs, so I was a bit hesitant to purchace a USB cable for that much, but (at the time) since there was a lack of PSP accessories, I thought I'd go ahead and spend the money. First and foremost, the USB cable itself is pretty tough. I've accidentally ran over it with my chair a couple times and it still works. It's nothing special, but it's still the main part of the whole package.
The cable includes 2 mini-CDs. One for PC and the other for PS2. The PC version is a simple all-in-one video encoder/file transfer/save backup. If you're already familer with using seperate programs like PSP Video 9 and such, this probably won't convince you to switch, but it's simple enough for thoses who can feel a bit intimidated with other complicated programs.
The PS2 disk is the real deal of the package though. It offers you to back up your PS2 save files (by connecting the USB cable to one of the two USB ports) onto your PSP mem stick, which then you can transfer to PC. It also allows you to "crush" saves together to save space on your mem card.
One thing I noticed, however was that these saves were in a .max filetype. Datels Max Drive (device that lets you transfer PS2-2-PC gamesaves) also save as .max. All you need to do is visit a site like codejunkies, or gamefaqs, download a .max save file onto your PSP, then transfer and "uncrush" the save. So now you have your own Max Drive for just $15 bucks.
The only issue I've ever had was while I was accessing my PS2 memory card (deleting a file), the game had frozen and I had to reboot, which then corrupted my PS2 mem card, rendering it useless. Thankfully it was a back up card, and all my files were backed up on PC, but nonetheless -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
