How do I transfer data from Armored Core: Master of Arena / Armored Core 1 onto Armored Core 3?

I bought ACMA and AC1 to get parts for AC3. I know that to get them I'd have to start a new file on AC3. what I can't figure out is how to load the data from these games onto an AC3 file. Do I need to buy Armored Core 2 and work the save file through the games, or is there a way to get ACMA data straight to AC3. Oh, and ACMA and AC1 are for the PS1, so I have them saved on a PS1 Memory Card. I have tried copying the data onto the PS2 Memory Card and loading it through there, but that didn't work...
