• No Known Corruption Bugs
    Unlike some other PS2 games on early AetherSX2 builds, Ultimate Ninja 5 did not trigger memory card corruption or “save failed” errors. Save/load times were normal (~2 seconds).

  • In-Game Save Points
    The game saves to the memory card from the Naruto/Ninja Room menu (after story mode or vs. CPU battles). This worked 100% in 2021 builds.

    ⚠️ Common issues in 2021 builds:

    While AetherSX2 development sadly slowed after 2022 (the developer stepped away due to toxicity), the 2021 builds remain incredibly stable. The save data guides from that era are still 100% functional today.

    By using a Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 save data on AetherSX2, you preserve a piece of gaming history. You transform a grinding simulator into a pick-up-and-play fighting game that still holds up against modern arena fighters like Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles.

    Are you trying to unlock all characters in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 on your Android device using the AetherSX2 emulator? Look no further!

    Since the release of AetherSX2 in 2021, playing PS2 classics on mobile has never been easier. However, grinding through Story Mode to unlock Itachi, Kisame, or the Fourth Hokage can take dozens of hours. If you want to jump straight into Versus Mode with a fully completed roster, you need a 100% completed Save Data file.

    In this post, we will guide you through downloading and installing the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 save data specifically for AetherSX2.

    Below is a 100% completed save file compatible with the NTSC-U (USA) and PAL (Europe) versions of the game. This file was tested on the 2021 builds of AetherSX2.

    AetherSX2 uses memory card images (*.ps2 or *.bin). If you download a .max or .xps file:

    Alternatively, use AetherSX2’s built-in import (Settings → Memory Cards → Import) – but this works best with raw .ps2 or .bin card images.

  • Go to AetherSX2 settings → Memory Cards.
  • Assign the card to Slot 1.
  • Boot the game – the save should load automatically.
