1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Datel’s DataMAX, the universal PS2® memory
card adapter for PlayStation

®3.

DataMAX is designed to allow users of third-party memory cards, such as Datel’s
MAX Memory 8, 16, 32 & 64MB, to prepare their cards for compatibility with the
PlayStation

®3 console.

Once prepared, data from memory cards of all sizes can be copied to the virtual
memory card system on the PS3® console, meaning all your hard-won game saves
are available for use with PS2® games on your PS3®.

2. Getting Started

This reorganization is very simple and quick to do, and also means you can save
copies of your memory cards on your PC for ultra-safe keeping. To use the
application, first install and configure it on your PC by following the simple steps in
