The PSV (PlayStation 2 Save File) file extension is a PSV type of file exclusive to the Sony PlayStation 2 (or commonly known as the PS2) console. This type of file, coined as a save file, allows the user to store a game’s progress or data specific to the console on a removable medium. It is regularly used by gamers to back up and save their gaming progress in the event that either their game or console is corrupted or lost.
Details of PlayStation 2 Save Files
A PlayStation 2 Save File usually contains game progress such as money acquired, level/stage progress, health points and any items collected in the game. It is also capable of storing multiple save data for up to 33 different games; however, game progress can be shared among multiple console by simply transferring the PSV file using memory card reader/writer. The files are stored in.psv format and usually consists of a 8KB capacity per save file. It can be used with copy-protected PlayStation games, and can also store information regarding Game Shark cheats used with certain games such as cheat name, cheat code and its description.
Apart from.psv, some other similar file extensions you may come across includes .psx, .pda, .vmc and many more.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PSV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PSV extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PSV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PSV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PSV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PSV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PSV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PSV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PSV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PSV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
