MemCard PRO Renamer

memcard_pro_renamer.py is a cross-platform pure-Python script for renaming MemCard PRO save folders.

Usage

1. Download the memcard_pro_renamer.py script to your computer
2. Run the script (e.g. double-click)
3. Drag-and-drop the folder that contains all of your game save folders (or manually type it if drag-and-drop doesn't work on your machine)
4. Hit ENTER, and the tool will create a renamed copy of each of your game save folders (to avoid accidentally overwriting and breaking something)

You'll need Python installed on your machine to run this script, and it should hopefully work on any operating system out-of-the-box. If not, please feel free to create a GitHub Issue with info about your computer's operating system / environment, and I can try to help figure it out :-)

How It Works

It'll load the PSX, PS2, and GameCube serial-number-to-title mappings from my game databases, and it'll automatically rename your game folders as follows:

• If your game save folders are in the original SXXX-XXXXX serial number format, it'll rename them to SXXX-XXXXX - GAME TITLE so you can back them up in a human-readable format
• If your game save folders are already in the renamed SXXX-XXXXX - GAME TITLE format, it'll rename them back to the SXXX-XXXXX serial number format so you can restore them back onto the MemCard PRO

Here's an example of before and after (left = original MemCard PRO 2 folder; right = renamed folders; screenshot by Joe Redifer from Game Sack):

Missing / Incorrect Games

If you find any games that aren't in my databases, or if any of the renamed titles are incorrect, please consider submitting all relevant info in a GitHub Issue so I can add/update them!

OS-Specific Notes

Windows

Instead of installing Python from python.org, which doesn't seem to work with double-click out-of-the-box (it seems to just instantly close the command prompt that gets opened), try installing Python through the Microsoft Store.
