God of War 1 Save Data: AetherSX2 Exclusive Guide

If you play God of War (2005) on PS2 emulation with AetherSX2, you’ve probably run into questions about save compatibility, transferring saves, and how AetherSX2 handles memory cards. This post walks through everything you need to know to use God of War 1 save data on AetherSX2 reliably — creating, importing, using, and troubleshooting saves — plus tips to keep your progress safe.

• Cause: The exclusive save has cheat codes embedded that your BIOS version hates.
• Fix: Download a different "Scph-39001" BIOS (Japan/Asia version). US BIOS files (Scph-70012) are notoriously strict with hacked saves. Swap your BIOS in AetherSX2 settings, and the exclusive save will suddenly appear valid.

• Experience the game with a head start, having already unlocked key items and upgrades
• Explore the world of ancient Greece with maximum health and magic orbs
• Show off your skills with a fully maxed-out Kratos

• Go to BIOS/Plugins > Memory Cards.
• Ensure Slot 1 points to the new card.
• Enable "Exclusive Mode" (If available in your version). This prevents the emulator from auto-corrupting cheat-engine-modified saves.

1. Optimized for touch controls: Saves that start you at checkpoints right before tough boss fights (like the Pandora Guardian) so you don't rage-swipe your phone into a wall.
2. Pre-patched for widescreen: Exclusive saves often include .ini tweaks that force progressive scan and widescreen hacks specifically for the mobile aspect ratio.
3. Feature-unlocked: Saves that have the "AetherSX2" stamp—meaning they include bonus costumes (like the Dairy Bastard or Chef of War) that are notoriously difficult to unlock legitimately on a virtual memory card.
