Just as the title says. Playing a game backup with the built in emulator for PS2 Classics. I know that the method isn't the same for PS2 discs but i'm not sure what to do

do you want to use a save from a real ps2?
are you using hen or cfw?
 
you can do this with mymc (an app) iirc. it will convert the saves to a memory card format (.ps2) to (.vmc). it's a simple rename when it's in that format. then, you have to make the vme if it's encrypted ps2 classics save and fix hashes. I don't know if that's still all needed, but it's what I remember.
 
It is painful as hell.

1. put save into memory car image (if it is not in PSU, use PS2 Save Coverter, app for vmc managing is mymc or better DualMymc)
2. add ECC codes to memory card image (by ffgriever app (I forgot name); PS3 doesn't support vmc without ECC)
3. encrypt by the same klicense as placeholder is (I don't remember how, but PS2 Classic GUI have option to import vmc during PKG creation with disc image)
4. import in proper place (if not packed with game)

All needed PS2 apps You can find in PS2 AIO Project 1.5.

What if I'm doing with 2 different games like Champions of Norrah 1 and 2, I have already installed them as a pkg and have tried to move the saved games memory card thats installed on the ps3 and that didnt work to import the saved person from game 1.
 
this can also be done with Apollo, but again it involves a few conversions, encryptions, imports and exports, so it's not as easy as "copy a file to a memory card"
 
I have now taken the memory cards off the ps3 and they are in a VME format, I have tired to decrypt the files but I get something like this

9 [main] ps2classic 12896 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to
the public mailing list [email protected]

I dont know what im getting from that? I also found out i have to assign the content-id and Klicensee as well since they are 2 different games but i did that and got that thing and it also becomes a VMC after i do it, once i do that i encrypt it to the game and it become's a VME again. With that file do i put it into the save folder for the memory card now that i have assigned the content-id and Klicensee?
 
VME klicense must match to the one used for creating PS2 game package. Or else Memory Card will not be found by the game.

As I understand, You want create memory card image with saves for both titles, right? So in such case You must decrypt VME from both games, export saves to PSU containers, import them to new memory card image with ECC, encrypt this vmc to VME format with klicense match to target game.

If You are not on HEN, it is waste of time as webMAN can mount PS2 *.iso and using placeholder klicense for VME (so You can just take VME from one game, and put it to another as i.e second slot (slot is determined by filename)).
