I've just started a Liga season with Villareal on WE 2008 (5-star difficulty).
So far 3 games and 4 points.
Defeat 0-1 vs Malaga
Victory 2-1 vs Getafe
Draw 0-0 vs Real Madrid

Villarreal are great to use in 2008. Did you stick with the default formation?

It's my favourite Spanish team.

Default tacic, yes.

And manage the line-up depending on players condition and arrows.

I use Roman as RM or LM.
Senna is always in my starting eleven, as well as Rossi.
I alternate between Tomasson and Nihat for the 2nd striker.

It's one of my favourite teams to use on 2008. I think the formation is great as it is too.
Senna is the rock of the team for sure.

Thanks

No patch, vanilla game with my own OF (zero edition). See the link in my signature for the OF.

I play on PCSX2 with PS4 controller. I dumped my own World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 PS2 ISO.
 
@geeeeee Just reloading your marvellous iso and option file but having trouble with the latter. Can you please remind me what format the option file needs to be if using Free McBoot on OG PS2?

Many thanks.

.psu on FreeMcBoot.

It has to be in a SAVE folder. The iso should be in a DVD folder.

Thanks. I'll give it another go.

Edit: I think that's the problem. I'm on mac and when I download the option file, it's not .psu format. Is there a convertor or can someone PM me the .psu format file?

Much appreciated.

Hi @reinelt97 sorry I have just seen your message. I will have a look tomorrow (actually today damn these world cup games are late 😅)

What file is it? Is it the 24-25 season?
 
The World Cup started and I did my own but for 1982 in PES 2008, it continues every Thursday. Commentary was created using AI and images are in teletext style. I like the thumbnails that chat gpt created for the series. It looks like in an old Sega Megadrive game.

Hey @reinelt97 have you tried downloading any of the SLES versions because they are psu files?

Please let me know how you get on?

Hi @geeeeee
Thanks for your help. I downloaded the SLES PSU file, copied it over my existing file on my PES 2008 save but still no luck. I could have sworn I did this before but I can't recall how.

Did it! I think the problem was a cheeky "1" that had somehow attached itself to the end of the file name.

Thanks @geeeeee Fantastic work. And coincidently, nice to see your suped-up PES 2008 on the excellent Chorizo Machine Youtube channel. Shout out to Mike!

I had high hopes when an editor was released to make PES6 option files compatible with PES2008. However, it seems no one was interested in converting them, so nothing was shared.

The databases are different. The face id's are different, ... You'd need to make an inventory of all player id, team id, face id, ... for each game and set a link between both games. And then define your own rules : what if a player is licensed in game but not in the other (and vice versa), what if he has a face id in a game but not in another, ... Also the handling of duplicate players isn't the same in both games.

It'd be quite a complex project.

Even if you did convert it you have to build faces orden same as pes 6 so you will have lot of player with wrong faces .. thats the problem, im working on pes 2008 patch for USA , its seems the best version of that game since its released very late on march that year .. sometimes its even harder to convert from pes 2008 European to USA because there’s some quiet differences, but i make it in the end, trust me its so hard to do so

Well you cant did convert database directly from european or winning eleven 2008 to do it i had to track the players till i found some additional players that get removed in usa version , i think thats why theres no software to edit on pes 2008 usa .
 
Also the net in stadium its different , pes 2008 eu have PES6 net style , but usa have pes 2009-14 net style
