SAVE CONTENTS

• Save Slot 1: Final Boss Arena (Zeus) - Great for benchmarking.
• Save Slot 2: 100% Completion - All upgrades, weapons maxed.
• God Mode Difficulty unlocked.

Tips & best practices

• Match regions: use a save from the same regional release as your ISO.
• Keep multiple memcard files (MC1, MC2) to separate playthroughs.
• If unsure of file types, try both .ps2 and .mcr extensions — AetherSX2 recognizes common memcard formats.
• Use a small, descriptive filename when keeping backups (e.g., GoW1_Save_50_MC1.ps2).

9. Future Outlook

AetherSX2 development has ceased (as of late 2024), but the app remains functional. Forks like NetherSX2 (community patch) retain identical save behavior. The term “exclusive save data” will likely persist as a colloquialism for save states, even though no true technical exclusivity exists for memory card files.

Recommendation for archivists: Always distribute God of War 1 saves as raw .ps2 memory card images, not as .aeth.state files. This ensures eternal compatibility across all PS2 emulators and hardware.
