(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello everyone,
as promised a few days ago here are my 2 saves for MGS2HS.

I've been playing the game between my PS3 and PSVita and trophies are unlocking on both systems via transfaring so as Yno's saves on his thread cannot be used as they were created before the patch we will use my save to test if trophies can be unlocked on the Vita system.

- First save is for Main Story i've beaten the story once and you should get fairly every misc. trophy, i didn't manage to get the trophy for finishing the game without raising an alarm as i ended the game with 4 alarms insted of the mandatory 3 but we will use this save as a test.

-Second save is for VR Missions, with this save you should get trophy for finishing first in 50 VR Missions, if it works we can use this save as a basis to finish them all.

Here is how you should proceed to transfer the saves to your Vita system:
- copy the save you want to use ( main story or vr missions ) from your Psvita to your ps3 using the secong option in transfarring menu on your vita and your ps3, the save will then be locked on the vita and can only be used on the ps3
- copy the save to an external usb device and swap the files i uploaded in your save and reassign via Xploder
- copy the reassigned saved to your ps3
- launch your MGS collection Disc and then MGS2
- on main menu choose tranfaring option
- now the most important point choose the option to connect your Vita via Wifi, DO NOT transfer via cloud as trophies will not unlock properly in the transfarring menu it is the section option on both consoles and transfer the save back from your ps3 to your vita
- to switch between the different saves you must use L1 or R1 buttons on the transfaring page, saves for main story, VR missions and snake tales are on separate files.
- trophies should unlock on your Vita during the transfering for the main mission save for vr missions you must try to play one mission to see if it unlocks a trophy
- the save will then be locked on your Vita, if you wish to play on your PS3 you should transfer it back using the same method and it will then be locked on the Vita, using this method Trophies unlock during the transfer either on Vita or PS3.

please report back if the saves worked to unlock trophies on your Vita.

i really don't want to spend hours backing up my vita to my ps3 just to creat a dummy account ant test this, if people want to test this then it's great otherwise everyone will have to plat the games legit

I can confirm the following -

- Most saves from the main MGS2/HD thread can be transferred to vita, after resigning with xploder (including region change if necessary).

- Way I did it was to copy the save to the PS3 after being resigned, then immediately go to transfarring to copy to vita, play through on vita, complete game, unlock trophies then save after signing into psn.

- Then transfar that save back to the ps3 for the trophies to pop on ps3.

- I have tested - all the tag saves and VR save, all worked fine after I resigned and region changed them with xploder.

- Snake tales from the main thread does not work on vita.

This seems like it is great news that it works.


When you say Snake Tales which main thread are you talking about, do you mean YNO's thread?

Actually it's a little more complicated than it seems.

I mean yno's thread btw, something is unique about one of my saves in that when it is copied between the ps3 and vita, even if the data is changed with xploder reassigning, the trophies are not locked.

I'm trying to recreate the creation of those saves right now to explore what is happening. I'll get back to you shortly, it's the main reason why I said the snake tales one doesn't work though, when it should.

My initial tests were unsuccessful, after a bit of messing about here's the stage I'm at -

save created one way - all snake tales completed but dialog pops to warn that trophies are locked.

save created another way - all snake tales completed, no dialog to warn of trophy locking, but no trophy.

May have to play through one of them see if that prompts the trophy, then I'll post how I made the save.

Ok, completed one snake tales mission and still no trophy for it.

Difficulty saves and VR missions saves from yno's thread do work though this way.

EDITED BELOW TO INCLUDE DELETE VITA SAVE STEP (thanks Captain harlock for reminding me)

1. Create a vita save relative to the save you are going to be importing/resigning.
2. Transfar this save to ps3.
3. unforce link with vita and transfar it to the cloud.
4. Quit game and copy this save from the ps3 to a USB drive.
5. Copy the data in yno's files minus the icon and sfo file, over the top of your save.
6. open xploder, drag the save from the right to the left, hit copy, then drag it back from the left screen to the right and overwrite the save on the USB key to resign the save, ignoring any warning.
7. Copy this save back to the ps3.
8. Load MGS 2, go to manage local and cloud saves, and remove the cloud link for this save.
9. Delete the initial save from the vita in the vitas transfar menu.
9. Connect the ps3 back to the vita and transfar it back to the vita.

Might have missed a bit in terms of explanation and I'm not sure why it has been working for me, the above is the only way I can recreate it. Snake tales is the only thing that doesn't seem to work no matter what I do.

EDIT -

HAHAHA

Remember I said Snake Tales didn't work? Even after beating one of them? Just restarted my vita, loaded up MGS, went on to Snake Tales and selected the final tale External Gazer.


PING! Trophy popped!

Hope this helps everyone, all saves I used were from yno's thread, US saves, converted to PAL with xploder, used on PAL PS3 and Vita.

hi there just tested your method and it really eorked however between point 8 & 9 you need to delete the save from your vita before transfering the reassign save from your ps3 to you vita, anyway a very big thanks to you HelloN for this great finding

so what trophies are not transferrable or did they all eventually pop?

i can confirm this way works.thank u HelloN for this good trick.
i can get my mgs saves work on vita now.

Do these work?

Lol I was going to edit again and say delete on vita but I wasn't sure. Glad it worked. Works for all trophy saves from yno's thread. So, all trophies.

Further to this I wasn't doing all this for each save, once the vita created, cloud linked save was created I just overlaid the other main game saves over that file. If you get what I mean. I have one save created this way that when u use yno's saves in xploder they just work.
