About Psx Raw Converter
Psx Raw Converter is a powerful, free online utility designed for retro gaming enthusiasts. It allows you to manage PlayStation 1 (PS1) memory card files directly in your web browser without installing any software. Whether you are using ePSXe, DuckStation, RetroArch, or transferring saves from a real console via DexDrive, this tool helps you convert and inspect your save data.
Unlike other tools, Psx Raw Converter runs entirely on your device (client-side), ensuring your save files are never uploaded to a server. It supports common formats like MCR (Raw), MCD, GME (DexDrive), and VMP (PSP).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .MCR file? ▼
A .MCR file is a raw binary dump of a PlayStation 1 memory card. It is exactly 131,072 bytes (128KB) in size and contains 15 save blocks plus a directory block. It is the standard format for emulators like ePSXe and PCSX.
Can I convert .GME to .MCR? ▼
Yes! Simply upload your .GME file. The tool will strip the DexDrive header and allow you to download the clean .MCR file ready for emulation.
How do I use the extracted .MCS files? ▼
.MCS files are single game saves. You can import them into a memory card using tools like MemcardRex (desktop) or by using this tool's future import feature. Some emulators also support loading single saves.
Is this tool safe? ▼
Absolutely. This tool uses HTML5 FileReader API to process files locally on your computer. Your files are never sent to any server.
