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).

Key Features

  • Universal Conversion: Convert proprietary formats like GME or VMP back to the standard Raw (.mcr) format used by most emulators.
  • Save Inspector: Visualize the contents of your memory card. See game titles, product codes, and regions for each save slot.
  • Single Save Extraction: Extract individual game saves as .MCS files to share or move to another memory card.
  • Instant & Secure: No file uploads. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript.

How to Use

  1. Upload File: Drag and drop your PS1 memory card file (.mcr, .gme, etc.) into the upload zone.
  2. Inspect Saves: The tool will automatically parse the file and display all 15 save slots. You can see which games are stored on the card.
  3. Convert: Click "Download as .MCR" to convert the file to the standard Raw format compatible with ePSXe and DuckStation.
  4. Extract: Click the "Extract .MCS" button on any specific save slot to download just that single save.

Supported Formats

  • .MCR / .MCD / .BIN: Raw 128KB memory card dumps. Standard for most emulators.
  • .GME: DexDrive format. Contains a header + raw data.
  • .VMP: Sony PSP virtual memory card format.

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.
