Someone on reddit pointed out there's a USB memory card adapter that you should check your local game store for if you're super serious. Amazon prices apparently are ridiculous.

Beyond that, I have no idea where you'd put the save to make the game recognize it, soooooo.... :\

I own this adapter. The saves go in a PS2 memory card folder just like for the PS1 saves. But if they don't work with PS2 Classics then it's not much use, then.

 

[ExiledMarkzmen]

Sooo hype. = ) .... that heavy breathing gif posted is essentially me lol.

 

[randomkid]

No Nocturne please. I got the game couple of years ago when they reprinted it. It was soooo hard, I cried after playing it (not literally).

DDS 1&2 were less difficult than Nocturne, why not them.

A lot of people think DDS is actually harder since you've got less flexibility to deal with a roadblock boss.

If you beat DDS you should give Nocturne another shot, I bet you'd do a lot better.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Shiiiiiiit, DDS1 and 2 means I am gonna drop $20 on PSN tomorrow.

My wallet is still hurting from the 99 cent sale, Golden Week sale, and Tactics Ogre.

 

[Brandon F]

So its not Tales of the Forsaken Land?

Feck.

Were they? I actually don't remember how hard they were, I used to have enough free time to grind back then. I should give another shot to Nocturne then.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP? (lol ;_

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

DDS was not easier imo.

 

[EdLin]

I already have Nocturne, and a BC PS3 to play it on, so I'm hoping it's DDS at a lower price than physical. (How much is DDS going for nowadays?)

 

[Meia]

Maybe this guy is on to something....

 

[Goody]

I could see a translation of one of the PS1 ports happening if it's not one (or two) of the PS2 games. I know people have been saying that there's been no fanfare, but does there have to be a big build up? Releasing it and having a fanfare day of release doesn't seem too weird, but I'm also not familiar with how Atlus does their marketing.

Raidou 2 doesn't seem likely since I don't recall there being such a tease for the first. Don't see the oddly American-ized Persona 1 happening either. Can't wait to see what it is.

Maybe this guy is on to something....

Oh.

 

[GreatMightySymp]

So surprise Eternal Punishment PSP release?

My (real) guess is either Nocturne or DDS1.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Yes, please.

Dante version would be the best outcome possible, but I'm ok with Raidou as well.

Rubbish.

Raidou >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dante.

And Raidou learned Pierce too, unlike that suck-ass Dante.

PLEASE BE NOCTURNE. I WILL RAISE AN ALTAR IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CITY TO BUILD AND WORSHIP ATLUS STATUE IF IT'S NOCTURNE.

 

[BlackJace]

I will lose my mind if its Nocturne.

 

[Faustek]

Well even if it stings I like to give a shout out to Atlus that they acknowledged that we ~"EU Bros" exist.

 

[Aeana]

There's speculation it's SMT PS1. Which would be nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuts.

lol.

 

[vag 2.0]

re: europe at least with psn you can just login to a us account and buy it there

mind, knowing atlus they've probably leveraged an innovative new way to region lock downloads

 

[draetenth]

Really? I found the DDS games to be very difficult compared to Nocturne. The main problem I had was that people would keep leaving in DDS 1 so I never knew who to build up. At least in Nocturne, You had the MC and then 3 demons who were always there.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Rubbish.

Raidou >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dante.

And Raidou learned Pierce too, unlike that suck-ass Dante.

PLEASE BE NOCTURNE. I WILL RAISE AN ALTAR IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CITY TO BUILD AND WORSHIP ATLUS STATUE IF IT'S NOCTURNE.

LOL

 

[ohlawd]

there was this one part in DDS1 that made me wanna kill myself for not getting Dekunda and Dekaja. Combo skills dropped my damage output so uhh yeah that alone > Nocturne's maingame

 

[Weiss]

I will legit buy Nocturne again if this is the Raidou version.

 

[Caderfix]

Rubbish.

Raidou >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dante.

And Raidou learned Pierce too, unlike that suck-ass Dante.

False. Dante's moveset is the coolest thing in the whole game.

Spoiler

Even if less effective against Lucifer.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Really not expensive, I picked up a couple new copies on Amazon for $17 each

 

[Brandon F]

The phone call in question:

"Hey Capcom, we are going to drop Nocturne tmrw! U cool with Dante still being in there?"

"Dante? Who dafuq is that?! SOme Megabro villain or sumfin? He isn't related to Donte is he?! That's our new breadwinner!(wait for E3!)"

I own this adapter. The saves go in a PS2 memory card folder just like for the PS1 saves. But if they don't work with PS2 Classics then it's not much use, then.

To transfer saves (or convert)all you need:
PS2 Classics GUI tool
and
MyMC save tool

-make a Blank VMC on the PS3
-transfer that .VME file to PC and decrypt it using PS2 Classics GUI
-rename the decrypyted .VMC as .PS2 and open in MyMC
-import the save you want into it and close MyMC.
-rename the .PS2 file back to .VMC,
-encrypt using PS2 Classics GUI
-overwrite as the original .VME
-transfer back to PS3

PS2 classics do not use virtual memory cards. This will not work.

 

[djtiesto]

Probably not DDS, because of the technical issues that pop up when trying to emulate it (or maybe that was just DDS2... well, whatever.)

I'd assume Nocturne.

I played the DDS series on my software-BC PS3 and had no problems at all...

Well you guys can stop guessing because it's actually already been said what it is in this thread if you look closely.

What is it?

 

[Sophia]

What is it?

Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2.

Not 'a ps2 games' but two ps2 games.

I would love Nocturne, but the reasons for not putting that game on the PSN seem pretty clear.

If its all 3 then I will cream EVERYONE'S JEANS.

Maybe this guy is on to something....

Looks like the two halves of Digital Devil Saga.

 

[PCH]

Oh yes, ps2 classic actually do,instead being called VM2(as standard ps2 virtual save), the classic files are created as two memory cards VME (and PARAM.SFO file with 20 byte injected as "signed" when you transfer to USB).But it is still virtual memory card,it just get mounted(or un-mounted) when you start(quit) specific game.This is why you decrypt with ps2 classic gui.

DANTE DOESN'T HAVE A TALKING CAT.

Waat, DDS1+2?

Well I never played DDS1 so if it's that then it's cool... Much prefer Nocturne though. Or Raidou 2 so I can have Raidou 1 + 2 combo in my PS3....

 

[Xenus]

Read the previous page you'll find it though it did leave open one small question.

...but the twitter reply simply states 'Don't recall saying it was a PS2 title...'
Where are you getting 'a ps2 games' from?

 

[Hours Left]

Eternal Punishment PSP?

Still, excited to see what it is!

My heart... ;_;

 

[Slashlen]

...but the twitter reply simply states 'Don't recall saying it was a PS2 title...'

It's not "A PS2 title", it's "Two PS2 titles" is what I believe he meant.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

...but the twitter reply simply states 'Don't recall saying it was a PS2 title...'

..Ok

So pretend I wrote 'not a ps2 title, but 2 ps2 titles.'

I can't think of any reason why title vs game would matter.

 

[Femmeworth]

Which SMT games are available on PSN in Japan? According to Wikipedia none of them are but that can't be correct.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

DDS, huh? I guess I'd suffer through the worst dungeons in the series in DDS1 to experience the magic of DDS2 again.

 

[Snakeyes]

It's not "A PS2 title", it's "Two PS2 titles" is what I believe he meant.

It's not a PS2 title because DDS 1 and 2 were never released on a single disc!

 

[kick51]

nope, that's correct as of a few weeks ago when i was browsing jpsn.

 

[Barrylocke]

Between the Tachibana thing that was found in the Siliconera teaser, and the fact that we know it's an SMT game, it's probably going to be Nocturne, possibly the Raidou edition. (Chiaki Hayasaka is Chiaki Tachibana in the Japanese version apperently)

 

[Femmeworth]

Whoa, that's really weird. Guess there is more demand in the West than Japan.

holy fuck, i suddenly can't unsee the mustache.

i've been a fan of nocturne since launch, but this is the first time i've really seen it! D:

Oh come on man... don't do this to my poor heart please ;_______;

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well, there's a TON of PS1 games. 1, 2, If, DemiKids...

Also, I highly doubt Raidou edition will get localized... but god I hope so.

 

[Mortemis]

I've already played the shit out of Nocturne so many times and if it came out on psn I'd still be excited. Please Atlus.

edit: I really wouldn't mind DDS though. Just give me something good.

I feel like the fact we're not talking about the JP version sort of makes that theory fall apart.

Its wild how many gaffers prefer unrealistic speculation over actual information.
