The PSU file format is an archive format used by PS2 save data management tools like uLaunchELF and mymcplus.

Obtaining a PSU file[edit | edit source]
From an actual PS2[edit | edit source]
By running uLaunchELF on an actual PS2, one can export PSU files from the PS2 Memory Card to USB or network.
From a PS2 emulator[edit | edit source]
PCSX2 stores the PS2 savedata in a virtual memory card file whose extension is .mcd. Each per-game savedata contained in the MCD file can be extracted to a PSU file by using mymcplus tool for example.
