Is there a way to back up PS1 saves to the computer?

You can just buy an Serial to USB adapter. It'll work fine with XP and W7. Funny thing is the adapter will probably be twice the price of a Dexdrive. Still, you can pick both up for under $20.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the Dex Drive software will not recognize the serial port (or the drive attached to it) on one of those USB ports running in a Win XP or higher environment.

If memory serves, not many of the Win 98 serial port transfer devices like Dex Drive, Bung GB Flash Cart Loader, etc. made the jump to the way Win XP deals with data transfer through serial ports and nobody ever patched the existing software or made new software for those devices that worked.

You can also use a PS2 memory card. In a PS2, you can transfer saves to the PS2 Memory Card from a PS1 card, but you can't save directly to the PS2 card.

This is a great option for "storing" PS1 saves if you have a PS2 with some space on a PS2 memory card.
