The following table contains known PS1 games that had unlockable (sometimes simply "faster," other times exclusive, etc.) content when the actively running game would detect save game data from another game residing on one of the memory cards. The table is both sortable and incomplete (please contribute).
This can also be known as Old Save Bonus.

Suikoden II | Suikoden II Character from Suikoden (I) Character Transfer Starting Bonus (Levels 60-98):
(((Suikoden (I) Character Saved Level) - 50) ÷ 10) x Suikoden II Normal Starting Level ÷ 10
drop the decimal,
add to
Suikoden II Normal Starting Level
——————————————————————————
So, if you had a Suikoden (I) Sheena level 72 saved, who starts in Suikoden II as a level 38,
((72 - 50) ÷ 10) x 38 ÷ 10 = (22 ÷ 10) x 38 ÷ 10 = 2.2 x 38 ÷ 10 = drop the decimal = 2 x 38 ÷ 10 = 76 ÷ 10 = 7.6
dropping the decimal = 7
add to Sheena's Starting Level = 7+38 Sheena would start Suikoden II at Level 45 based on the Suikoden (I) save game data.

Suikoden II | Suikoden II Character from Suikoden (I) Character Transfer Starting Bonus (Level 99):
——————————————————————————
So, if you had a Suikoden (I) McDohl level 99 saved, who starts in Suikoden II as a level 38, ((98 - 50) ÷ 10) x 38 ÷ 10 = (48 ÷ 10) x 38 ÷ 10 = 4.8 x 38 ÷ 10 = drop the decimal = 4 x 38 ÷ 10 = 152 ÷ 10 = 15.2 dropping the decimal = 15 add to McDohl's Starting Level = 15+38 = 53 add an additional 5 for McDohl reaching level 99 = 53+5 = 58
* - Pesmerga has the calculation done, but the results are compared to his moving target starting level: Riou/Hero/Protagonist +5. He then takes whichever is greater. |
Suikoden (I):

Suikoden II | Suikoden II Highest Level Character from Suikoden (I) Character Transfer Starting Bonus:
—————————————————————————— The Highest Level Character from your Suikoden (I) save game data will receive an additional 5 levels on top of the above formulas. —————————————————————————— So, for example, let's say you have a Suikoden (I) level 72 Sheena and level 99 McDohl. Using the above math, starting in Suikoden II,
McDohl would start at Level 63, as he was the higher character (58+5).
