Did You Try Windows Notepad Or Wordpad?
They Might Work.

 

yea thats how it all looks, its from a ps2 game that i put on my computer. only the name of the game is readable.

 

yeah, i dont think that is technically legal... why do you have it on your pc?

 

i wasnt told anything like it was illegal, i just wanted to read the file, its a saved game is all it is.

 

i dont know if it is illegal, but it's pretty close to piracy. that's probably not what you were doing, but just saying.

 

i can understand that, all i wanted to do was read the file and see if i can tweak some numbers with it. just for myself

 

i have no idea. you know that to play it once you put it back on a dvd you need a mod chip in your ps2 right?

 

nope didnt know that not all that smart with computers, but i didn't want to make another dvd of the game when i save it on the memory card i have a codebreaker cd and it allows me to download the saved game file on to a jump drive and then i can download the saved game on the computer. i just wanted to see what was on the memory card to see if i was able to do what i wanted.

 

oh! i thought you were putting the actual game one yoru computer. nevermind anything i said then. just google the file types, and see what comes up.

 

The original poster did not explain himself properly. The files in question (.cbs .cbc files) are for the CodeBreaker cheat device for the Playstation 2. CBS is a game save (transferred from the Playstation 2 memory card through the device to a USB pen drive to a PC - and vice versa). CBC is a CodeBreaker code file, that being a file with codes for a particular game that you download from the official Codebreaker site, transfer to a USB pen drive, and through the CodeBreaker device add to the list of CodeBreaker codes you have saved on your Playstation memory card.

Personally, I would love it if there were a way to read/write/edit CBC files.

As for CBS files, you can read/write/edit/convert them using PS2 Save Builder:

. very confusing for me

 

and also do you have to do any hex editing or does the save builder do it all for you, if so can you try to explain how i could do it.
