MH Oldschool

I bought the adapter to copy, save, and transfer my old MH1 save file but it won't allow me to copy it. It's protected. (probably to prevent cheating online) Can anyone help me with this? I can't seem to find the fix anywhere.

Yeah, it's protected. I recommend you mod your console and copy it using uLaunchELF or similar. You can copy it to a pendrive, for example.
