This is based on if you're using PCSX2 Emulator. If you're using actual PS2, you'll need the adapter to connect your memcard to your pc.
1. Open memory card (Mcd001.ps2) with MyMc.
2. Export the roster file to desktop.
3. Open exported roster file using Ps2 Save Builder.
4. Extract actual roster (BASLUS-XXXXXXRost1) to desktop. * XXXXXX is random numbers used in the save file, don't matter what they are.
5. Open extracted roster with DB.Editor. Export Play Table and Depth Chart to desktop.
6. Open PC version of roster using DB.Editor. Export Play Table and Depth Chart to folder on desktop (so they don't get mixed up with the PS2 files).
Notes:
1. Default PS2 Madden rosters carry the 32 teams and the Free Agents only.
2. PC Madden Rosters are larger and carry other teams including All-Time Teams, Custom Teams, Practice Squads, NFL Europe, etc.
So you're only going to export the 32 teams + free Agents from PC file into the Madden PS2 file. The same goes for the Depth Chart. You're only going to export depth chart for Teams using TGID 1-32.
After you have both Play Tables, open them in Excel or your spreadsheet app. Sort the PC Play Table sheet ascending by TGID. You're only going to copy/select the 32 teams (TGID 1-32) and (TGID - 1009) Free Agents.
****** BEFORE YOU COPY/SELECT YOU MUST VERIFY AND MATCH EVERY COLUMN HEADING FROM PS2 PLAY TABLE WITH THE PC PLAY TABLE********** IF there is a column in PS2, it must be included when you export the table from the PC Play Table.
After you've verified the correct columns to copy, select the teams TGID 1-32 and copy/overwrite the teams in the PS2 Play Table. Do the same for the Team TGID 1009 Free agents and the Depth Chart. Save your new Play Table using a new name.
Import the new Play Table and Depth Chart into the file open with DB.Editor. Save.
Import the updated roster file back into the file opened with Ps2 Save Builder. Save.
Import the updated roster file back into the file opened with MyMC. Save
Start Madden, load the roster on the memcard, enjoy the updated players!
Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to take the PC draft classes posted here and use them for my PS2 Madden 05 Franchise Mode. I know how to take any Madden draft class from the PS2 games and make it playable on 05 but would the process for converting the saves from the PC format work the same for draft classes as it does for roster files as you explained here?
