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.

How to Use This Save on PCSX2

1. Locate your PCSX2 memory cards folder

   • Windows: Documents\PCSX2\memcards\
   • Linux: ~/.config/PCSX2/memcards/
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/PCSX2/memcards/

2. Back up your existing MCD001PS2.ps2 (rename it to MCD001PS2_old.ps2).

3. Download the fixed 89% save (from trusted sources like GameFAQs, PCSX2 forums, or dedicated wrestling save archives — checksum advised). Season Mode → Any wrestler selectable

4. Place the new MCD001PS2.ps2 into the memcards folder.

5. In PCSX2:

   • Go to Config → Memory Cards
   • Ensure Slot 1 points to MCD001PS2.ps2
   • Click “Eject” then “Refresh” if needed.

6. Launch WWE SmackDown! HCTP → Load game → Select memory card 1 → Load save.

Step 5: Boot the Game

Launch WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain (SLUS-20746 or the PAL version). Go to "Options" > "Load Game." You should see:

• Completion: 89%
• Bonus Unlocked: All wrestlers, including Brakkus (a secret test character) and Taka Michinoku.

Potential Issues & Fixes

| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Save appears as “Corrupted” in PCSX2 | Ensure you’re using the same region (NTSC vs PAL) and PCSX2 version 1.6+. Some older 1.4 saves need conversion. | | Game still crashes on certain matches | Disable “Enable Cheats” in PCSX2; some cheat codes conflict with fixed save structure. | | Missing wrestler names | Go to Options → Load Default Roster → Save again. | | Can’t see 89% completion | “89%” is approximate; exact percent depends on in-game tracking. Mainly a community label. |

Verifying the Save Is Working

After loading, you should see:

• Season Mode → Any wrestler selectable, all years/branches available.
• Exhibition → Full roster (check “Legends” section).
• Shop → Purchased items marked with ✅, remaining (if any) are cosmetic.
• Create Modes → No ghost data.
