Tekken 5 PSP saves

[JamesS]

I recently got a new slim PSP to replace my old one, and it seems that Tekken won't load my old save, complaining that it was saved on a different PSP.

Anybody know if there's any way around this? It's a bit crap if I have to start over as I'd played it a fair bit. Why would they lock the saves like this anyway?

I'm pretty sure it's locked to the original PSP, unfortunately. It's something to do with it being tied to your online identity and ghost data, I think.
