Option File Tutorial

[Venolan]

I have seen many threads made asking the same thing in General "How do I download an Option File?" and "Where can I find an option file?"

Lets begin, this is for PS2 owners (in future maybe someone can do one for all consoles and have a better explanation):

Max Drive
Max Drive 128MB

I think the best way in downloading an Option File is by using a Max Drive, in order to do so you will need to buy one of the above two Models, if you follow instructions that are provided with the Max Drives you will be able to download an Option File with ease. Unsure on which LINK to click on when you have found an Option File? Well the Option File Designer will have a link saying "Playstation 2 Max Drive" simply click on that link, however if you can't see that on the Option File selection, look for one saying "RapidShare"

Finding an Option File, If you are for some reason unable to find an Option File here is the link: Option File Pages
Now I suggest downloading [ALL] Milanista's Option File V2 if you want an Option File updating all Player Names and Kits, also this File includes all Champions League teams as well as the Teams in Section C being made into the missing German teams. However if you want a specific file, start browsing around at other threads. If you still aren't happy with finding the Option File you want hmy: visit www.PESFAN.com and register (may take a few days to get email) and you can find more Option Files. Now I'm sure a Few PES/WE Elitists will now post up other sites so if you are new to Option Files listen to any advice.

I hope this has helped you with any questions, and I'm sure this will prevent any future threads being made on this topic. If you want help for Other downloading equipment or other consoles (XBOX 360 etc) post your problem in this thread or send me a PM and I will help.

How to transfer the OF onto you Memory Card/Hard Drive:

Using Xbox Max Drive...
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Make an archive (zip file) of the folder called UDATA
3. Drag this newly created zip file onto your maxdrive using the software.
4. Connect your maxdrive into one of your Xbox controller ports and load up PES5.
5. On the PES5 menu screen, go to Options > PES Data Control > Copy Saved Data. Then select the ‘Change’ option, and select the Datel Max Drive from the list.
6. Select the PES5 Option file present on the max drive, and then choose a slot on your hard drive to save the option file.
7. Once you have saved the file to your xbox hard drive/memory card, return to the main game menu and let play begin!

Using PS2 Max Drive...
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Select and drag the .max file onto the max drive software.

Using PS2 X-Port...
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Import the .xps file into your X-Port database using the X-Port software
3. Select and choose the 'Restore' option to transfer the option file onto your memory card.

Using PC...
1. Download and unzip the file
2. Copy the file entitled KONAMI-WIN32PES5OPT and paste it into the folder My Documents > KONAMI > Pro Evolution Soccer 5 > Save > Folder 1

As highlighted in bold, the save folder above is located in My Documents and NOT the Konami folder in Program Files.

The file MUST be entitled KONAMI-WIN32PES5OPT for it to work, so do not change the name of the file.

Note: If you already have an existing option file on your memory card or hard drive, you will be asked if you want to overwrite it. If your current file is one you might want to go back to then you will want to back the file up first, before transferring this Option File.

To unzip a file you will need to download WinRar or Winzip if you haven't got one of these already.

If you follow these instructions, you should have no problems.

How to transfer the OF onto your Xbox 360:

With just the XSATA (http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/produ...l=1&ProdID=403) attached between my 360 and my PC, I used the Xplorer360 software on my PC which allows you to view the contents of your 360 harddrive and I....

Selected "Drive" > "Open" > "Harddrive or Memcard...." from the Topbar menu

Went to drive "partition 3"

Drilled down the folders into "Compatibility/Xbox1/UDATA/4b4e0030/" ("4b4e0030" is the 360 folder name for PES5)

Deleted the folder "5252897584A1" ("5252897584A1" being the 360 and Xbox folder name for the Option File I think)

Replaced it with the "5252897584A1" folder of my desired Option File ("5252897584A1" folder contained only a "saveimage.xbx", "SaveMeta.xbx" and .xsv file)

....then switched on my 360 to at last have this wonderful Option File working!!!!
