that's all you do, create a new folder called PS3 and put all the gamesaves in there, pop it into your ps3 and then boom, the no saved data will dissapear, and all the gamesaves are in there. cuz the ps3 only loads things inside a folder called PS3

i just unzip mine, and place it inside the ps3 folder. place all the gamesaves files into the ps3 folder, that's all, don't put any folders inside the ps3 folder, just put the files inside the ps3 folder that are not folders.

ok heres waht you do. 1) create a folder called PS3 2) download your gamesaves then unzip it into PS3 folder 3) make sure there are no folders inside the PS3 folder, only the gamesaves files are in there. 4) pop the usb, disc or whatever you save the files into onto the PS3 5) go to it and then select your gamesaves then press triangle 6) press copy then it will copy to your ps3 harddrive 7) then you're done

yeah, i don't think the ps3 was built to work gamesaves like that. people now abuse gamesaves by downloading it online and saving it into their ps3, i got 100 percent of my resistance fall of man finished because i used gamesaves i found online, now i got the black ops skins for online play =D

Make a folder on your memory stick called PS3 Then, inside of the PS3 folder, make another folder called SAVEDATA You must use capitals. Then put the saved data folder from the game into the SAVEDATA folder. That might work. I have a backup LBP save and all the data is in some weird folder with a bunch of letters and numbers, so that might be an issue. What game is it that you are trying to get?

Or if you just copy one of your own saves into the USB device via your PS3, it creates all the folders for you!

Yep - main folder needs to be titled "PS3" and then the sub folder needs to be titled "SAVEDATA" for the PS3 to recognise it, also it you want to install themes do the same method but title the folder "THEME" - Hope this helps!
