3. Data Content Stored in the Save File
The save file contains the following key data blocks:
- Unlockable Characters: Unlocking all fighters (including the hidden ones such as Unknown, Ogre, and true Ogre) is the most significant use of the save. The file stores flags for each character’s availability.
- Arcade Mode High Scores: Records top 10 scores per character for the standard Arcade mode.
- Time Attack Best Times: Stores the fastest completion times.
- Team Battle Wins: Tracks cumulative win streaks in Team Battle mode.
- Controller Configuration: Saves custom button mappings and control schemes (e.g., arcade stick vs. DualShock 2).
- Game Settings: Default difficulty, round time, damage display, and sound options (stereo/mono).
- Replay Data (limited): TTT does not save full match replays, only ghost data for time trials is minimal.
1. Introduction
Tekken Tag Tournament (TTT) was a launch title for the PlayStation 2 in 2000 (Japan) and 2001 (North America/Europe). Unlike mainline Tekken entries, TTT featured a non-canonical 2v2 tag-team fighting system. The game was renowned for its large roster (over 30 characters), fast-paced gameplay, and arcade-perfect visuals.
However, like many fighting games of its era, unlocking all characters, costumes, and bonus modes required significant playtime. This led to the creation and sharing of PS2 save files—memory card data that allows players to bypass unlock requirements.
This report examines the technical, practical, and ethical aspects of TTT save files.
