How to Manage Save Data for God of War 2 on AetherSX2

God of War 2 remains a flagship title for PS2 emulation, and on Android, AetherSX2 is the go‑to emulator.

3. Using Single‑Save Files (`.psu`, `.max`, `.xps`) – The Reliable Way

AetherSX2 does not have a built‑in “import save file” button. You must inject saves into a memory card using a PC tool:

On PC: Download myMC (Memory Card Manager for PS2).
Copy your Mcd001.ps2 from Android to PC.
Open myMC, load the memory card, then import the downloaded .psu save for God of War 2.
Copy the modified Mcd001.ps2 back to Android’s aetherSX2/memcards/ folder.

Alternatively, use PS2 Save Builder to convert .max or .xps to .psu first.

Part 3: How to Back Up Your God of War 2 Save

Because God of War 2 is a long game (roughly 12-15 hours), backing up is essential.

Step-by-step backup:

Using one of the file managers above, navigate to the memcards folder.
Copy the file Mcd001.ps2.
Paste it somewhere safe, like Documents/Emulation Backups/ or a cloud drive (Google Drive/Dropbox).

Pro tip: Rename the backup to GodOfWar2_Save_BeforeCliffsOfMadness.ps2 so you know exactly what it is. When you want to restore it, rename it back to Mcd001.ps2.
