Transfarring to Vita


Recommended Posts

I've been considering purchasing the psp version of peace walker to play on my vita (as I already have the hd collections on both systems along with various versions of all metal gear games), mainly because it seems more suited to the portable experience. Only problem is that if I can't transfar saves I can't really justify the $30 price tag. I understand it isn't possible to directly transfar saves to and from the vita I've read that there is a process, albeit convoluted, that works. I've been searching the web but can't find details on the process. so what I would like to know is if there actually is a way or not. If so what the process exactly is. And lastly (perhaps most importantly), if there is indeed a way, will I be able to earn those precious trophies playing it on the vita. Any info would be appreciated

Have no idea if trophs will work though, seriously doubt it? My saves on all the PSP and HD collections are so messed up beyond belief I cant even figure out what I am doing anymore, bout ready to delete them all!

 

Download the PSP (buy) version of Peace Walker from the PS3 store;

 

Once it's complete, connect the Vita in the PS3;

 

In the Vita, go to Contact Manager;

 

From there, connect PS3 to Vita;

 

Go to applications and find the PSP;

 

You should see Peace Walker;

 

Check Peace Walker and download;

 

Voila you got Peace Walker in Vita.

Thanks, but i already knew how to get the game on the vita, i already have a few psp games on my vita that required the content manager. What i was curious about was transfarring save files for the game back and forth.

Transfarring to the Vita does work, i'm not sure about the trophies though. So far the trophies that should have popped but didnt are "I feel... safe" and "Mech Catcher". But there are many reports about glitched trophies, even if you use a psp.

 

I'm on chapter 1 so i'm still waiting for my first story progression trophy "A Country Without An Army". Those seem to always work, so i will try to confirm they work with the vita too.

 

Even if the trophies won't pop, you can still recruit new soldiers and develop weapons on the go and use them to earn the trophies on PS3.

 

So this is the process i use:

 

 

PS3 >> Vita

 

1. You need a USB stick plugged into your PS3

 

2. Start a save on PS3 while signed in to psn

 

3. Start PW on PS3 and choose transfarring out from the menu and click ok. The Save will be transfarred to the USB stick (the game thinks its a psp :dance:)

 

3. Go to the PSP/Mini saves folder under Game on your PS3. Choose the USB stick, go to your PW save and press copy, the save will then be copied over to the PSP/Mini saves folder, where the Vita can find it.

 

4. Connect your Vita and start the content manager. You can now copy the save over and use it.

 

 

Vita >> PS3

 

1. Connect Vita to PS3. Start Content manager and copy the save to PS3.

 

2. Go to the PSP/Mini saves folder under Game on your PS3. Choose the PW save and copy it over to the USB stick.

 

3. Start PW on PS3 and choose transfarring in. The Save on your USB stick will be found and imported.

 

 

Thats it.

 

 

UPDATE:

I just finished chapter 1 on my Vita, transfarred to PS3 and got the "A Country Without An Army" as well as "Stun Specialist" Trophy. It works!

Hye guys I was searching for this issue because I just got this:

I transfer my PS3 save to my PSP, and it played nicely, I had a trip and progressed for around 6 hours, by recruiting and stuff..gut a nice bunch of soliders through psp recruitment and got into Chapter 4.

THE THING is that when I came back I transfarred back in from psp to ps3 and it didnt unlock the chapter 3 cleared trophy, does anyone know a solution? or if now the trophies are all locked? I dont want to miss my progress :/

I never played on PSP so i'm not sure... But so far alll the story trophies unlocked just fine for me.

 

I think on PS3 the game notifies you if the trophies get locked.

 

Make sure your first save is on PS3 while logged in to PSN, otherwise it might not work.
