When trying to mass export some save files I came across many saves with issues, im trying to correct them batch.
Armored Core Master of Arena (Untouched) (Disc 1) (SLUS-01030).zip
Ps1-VMC-Tool seems to show old header information for some saves.
RAW.GME
PS1VMC-TOOL v1.0.0
Slot | ---------- Filename ----------- | Type | Size | Prod. Code | Region
0 | BASLUS-01030P | save | 24576 | SLUS-01030 | BA
1 | BASCUS-94421S02-S02 | link | 8192 | SCUS-94421 | BA
2 | BASLUS-006620000000A | link | 8192 | SLUS-00662 | BA
3 | BASLUS-01030Q | save | 24576 | SLUS-01030 | BA
4 | | link | 0 | |
5 | | link | 0 | |
If i uses memcardRex I can copy the saves to temp buffer, format the slots then copy back and save and it and cleans up the link status to correct.

I feel like this image just had old header info in it but maybe still correct link files
If i use ISOBUSTER to browse the image, extract all files, then reimport, PS1-VMC-Tool will fail on importing the corrupt files and only import the working ones :)
But the imported files have incorrect Product Code and Identifier after importing this way, it uses a chopped up version of the start of the working directory the save file was in.
I thought it should produce the same as using MemCardRex?
I tried with no extension as this is how they come from IsoBuster
ps1vmc-tool.exe "BLANK.mcd" -in "BASLUS-00404ACECMBT2"
and also with a renamed extension
.ps1vmc-tool.exe "FullPathTo/BLANK.mcd" -in "FullPathhTo/BASLUS-00404ACECMBT2.raw"
But both had the same incorrect results where MemCardRex import both fine.
EDIT
I found that it needs to be from the working directory, and only the filename not the path as described in the arguments.
./ps1vmc-tool BLANK.mcd -in BASLUS-00483TOSIN300
Deleted saves show as <link> instead of <deleted> when doing -ls which is a little confusing.
the export process is lacking autonaming of save files, the cleaning of invalid characters and creation of info txt files when internal names are invalid.
