(HCTP). It is designed to save players hours of grinding by providing an "all-unlocked" experience from the start. Key Features of the "89 Fixed" Save
While specific version numbers like "89" often refer to community-maintained revision counts, these files typically include:
100% Completion: All legends, arenas, and match types (like the Elimination Chamber) are instantly unlocked.
Roster Expansion: Includes a full roster of 50+ base superstars plus custom Created Wrestlers (CAWs) meticulously sculpted to match real-life counterparts or missing legends.
Unlocked Shop Items: All "SmackDown! Shop" items, including alternative attires and move-sets, are already purchased.
Maxed Stats: Season mode progress is often maxed, giving you unlimited points to boost your character's attributes. How to Install on PCSX2 This file, Mcd001

2. The PCSX2 Save State Paradox
PCSX2 has a "Save State" feature (F1/F3). However, save states break from version to version. If you update from PCSX2 1.6 to 1.7, your save states become paperweights. A raw memory card file (mcd001ps2) is version agnostic. It works on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android (AetherSX2), and Steam Deck.
