How to use

The functionality of the program is relatively easy, but here we will explain a bit to make sure you undestand how to get this going...

first of all, you will need the following things:

A jailbroken PS2 or a Jailbroken System246 (jailbroken: it can execute wLaunchELF (1), does not matter how)

a USB storage device with at least 16mb free (2) (or an SD2PSX/PSXMemCardGen2 if you have wLaunchELF version that can browse it's SDCard)

All the needed things to run SoulCalibur2 to check if the converted card works (not covered here)

1. a PS2 filebrowser and app launcher
2. Can be FAT32 or EXFAT. depending if your app launcher reads EXFAT or not

Ok, now let's get into it:

Setup files

First of all, download the SC2Maker program. it will be a 7zip file. you can unpack it on the USB (or the SD2PSX/PSXMemCardGen2 SDCard) with 7zip. most of the files are contained inside a directory, so simply using "extract here" should be OK, it will not flood you with files

after unpacking, you should see some directory tree like this:

│   LICENSE
│   README.md
│
└───SC2Maker_v1.0.0_05-10-2025/
    │   assets.lua
    │   cardmaterial.bin
    │   font.ttf
    │   main.lua
    │   sc2maker_pkd.elf
    │
    ├───common/
    │       ...
    │
    │
    └───lang/
            ...

Run the program

now it's time to run the program! hook up your USB or SD2PSX into the console/arcade and launch wLaunchELF (in whatever way you can, it is not covered in this tutorial) Once you are in, locate the place where you unpacked the zip.

WlaunchELF devices

Although the program supports to be ran from a bunch of devices. We strongly recommend running from an SD2PSX or a USB.
mass: means USB storage. mmce0: and mmce1: are the SDCards inside the SD2PSX (if you are using one)

once you are there, hover the sc2maker_pkd.elf and press OK (X or Circle depending on wLaunchELF settings)

Inside the program

after a little opening. you should arrive at the program main menu, wich looks like this:

Let's explain what we see here:

On the top left side you have the menu options, each one has a description on the lower left side

on the right side, you can see the current memory card, with the specifications written on text, and a little image representing wich kind of card is detected:

• if it shows a black card, it's a PS2 memory card with normal filesystem
• if the memory card has a SoulCalibur label. it is a PS2 memory card with conquest card Filesystem
• if it shows a dark outline with a question mark. it means it's a PS2 card with an unrecognized filesystem. most likely corrupt

Changing Cards

As the program explains when starting up. due to the unique format of the conquest card, special methods were made to handle them
And thanks to that, you may only change the cards you're working with by letting the program know, pressing SELECT, then doing the card swap, and pressing SELECT again

Let's convert a card

Now, what about transforming a card?

If you haven't done it yet, insert the card you want to convert (use the SELECT button as explained before!)

Once you have the desired memory card plugged on second card port, go ahead and press X on the "Convert Conquest Card" option.

The program will ask you to confirm again by pressing X once more.

After that, you shall see the convertion process begins and a progress bar showing up on the screen, like this:

Once the process is finished, program will let you know, and you will return to main menu by pressing any button

From here, you could just unplug the card and take it to your system246, fire up SoulCalibur2 and see if it works

Checking card integrity after convertion

When this program converts a conquest card, it manually corrects the ECC at the moment of programming it. this means that a freshly converted conquest card clone should never have even a single mismatch when scanning it with the integrity check feature
