Alternate: Convert US EUR monster hunter freedom 2 saves to JPN
I found this post on SoC, so I thought I would share it with the folks who’re having trouble with timemachine on the slim. But I must say, the person who came up with this plugin is really a genius. I personally have not tried this yet, but from what I gather, after you manage to convert the save file, you should turn the plugin off.

The original post came from here: http://skiesofcrimson.com/forum/topic/14833
I wanted to convert my save game myself and I only have a slim PSP which I wasn’t able run Laboko on so I figured out an alternate way.
What you need:
- A PSP with custom firmware (works on slim and phat)
- Monster Hunter Freedom 2
- Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G
- PC and USB cable to connect your PSP

- A Monster Hunter Portable 2nd game save (get one from the conversion thread) http://skiesofcrimson.com/forum/topic/12747
- Your Monster Hunter Freedom 2 game save
Instructions:
- Extract a Monster Hunter Portable 2nd game save to the “/PSP/SAVEDATA” folder on your PSP
- Install and enable Savegame-Deemer
- Extract the “seplugins” folder from sgdeemer_110.rar to the root of your memory stick
- Go to the “/seplugins” folder on your PSP and add the contents of “game.txt.new” to “game.txt” and then remove “game.txt.new”
- Turn off your PSP and turn it back on while holding the R button
- When the recovery menu shows up go to “Plugins ->”
- Select “deemerh.prx [GAME] (Disabled)” and hit X so that it changes to “deemerh.prx [GAME] (Enabled)”

- Copy SDDATA.BIN and SDINFO.BIN
- Paste them into the “/PSP/SAVEPLAIN/ULJM0515600” folder on your PSP
- Run Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G
- Select New Game
- Select the second option
- Go through the steps to convert and save your character
- Disable the Savegame-Deemer plugin to speed up your savin/loading
- Turn off your PSP and turn it back on while holding the R button
- When the recovery menu shows up go to “Plugins ->”
- Select “deemerh.prx [GAME] (Enabled)” and hit X so that it changes to “deemerh.prx [GAME] (Disabled)”

nice tut but does it work for other games to?
SW the force unleashed for example?
cuz i first downloaded an iso of the game, but when i played it there was only music and no vocals during the cutscenes and gameplay…
but i didnt really care a shit and came very far in the game, defeated the endboss and collected very much extras…
and now i downloaded another iso of sw (with vocals) but i cant play that previous savegame with it…
i think (not sure) cuz its another encryption?
i think my prev savegame is usa and ma sec eu.
now, maybe…
is there a way to put the vocals on that prev game in one way or another?
or do i really have to discover the encryptions an convert them?
help me plz
