    I'm using ePSXe 1.7 and i just cant find a way to resolve the save problem
    my memcards are

    epsxe000.mcr
    epsxe001.mcr

    here is the path of my memcard file
    epsxe000.mcr (C:\Documents and Settings\Harsh\Desktop\spxe\1.7\memcards)
    epsxe001.mcr (C:\Documents and Settings\Harsh\Desktop\spxe\1.7\memcards)

    PLEASE HELP.

    P.S the game I'm playing is final fantasy 9

    Check the folder path. I'd say the "psxe" is suspect, since the name of the default folder is usually epsxe (the name of the emulator).
    Also, ePSXe doesn't create the memory card files until you properly exit the emulator. So make sure when you exit the emulator, you are pressing "ESC" to go back to the GUI and then closing the ePSXe GUI program. Don't just close the game window.


    If all else fails, create a folder on C:\ called "MemoryCards" and change the configuration to "C:\MemoryCards"

    another thing that i do is when i save using the save states or saving in-game
    i press ESC then close the emulator window.
    i hope that is fine, because i don't know any other way to turn of that program lol

    Just go to Config, then go to Memory Cards.
    Your folder path isn't right.

    You don't need to rename your folder(psxe) to ePSXe as Tirith have said,
    the only thing you need to make sure is your memory card path.

    Just make sure to press "Ok" after done configuring it.

    well,
    Settings\Harsh\Desktop\epsxe\1.7\memcards\epsxe000.mcr
    is my path.
    what should i change it to?
    i don't get it, I'm not able to come up with a solution.
    or is there something wrong with the configuration of my epsxe?
    please advice if there is.

    Your path needs to be what ever the actual path is.

    So you say the location is
    C:\Documents and Settings\Harsh\Desktop\epsxe\1.7\memcards\epsxe000.mcr
    But earlier you said in the config it is
    C:\Documents and Settings\Harsh\Desktop\spxe\1.7\memcards\epsxe000.mcr

    So fix the patch (psxe->epsxe)

    Or, take the easiest step.
    Create a folder in C:\ called epsxememorycards
    Then create the path as C:\epsxememorycards\epsxe000.mcr

    If it's still not working.

    Just copy all the files into a new location/folder.
    and then configure it again.

    you mean the two memory card files to that new location ?
     
  11. TirithRR

    TirithRR Well-Known Member

    As long as the folder path actually exists that is in the Memory Card configuration, then the file will be created. But ePSXe will not create folders that don't exist, so the folder path has to be correct, and the folders actually have to exist on your computer.

    alright
    alrighty, so will this do?
    C:\Program Files\epsxememorycards\memcards\epsxe000.mcr

    As long as those folders actually exist, yes. If they do not exist, you need to create them.

    See the Path that exists in the Windows bar? That path has to be the one that is in your ePSXe Configuration.
    Your path will be different, but what ever that path is has to be the one in your configuration.

    Just post screenshots of what ever you have.
    Use the PRT SCR button (print screen) and Paste the image into MS Paint.

    What Tirith means is...

    The path of the memcard is different on both areas.

    On the windows bar, it shows a full path
    For example,
    D:\Playstation\epsxe1.7\memcards

    While on the emulator(Config --> Memory cards),
    it looks like this...
    memcards\epsxe000.mcr
    memcards\epsxe001.mcr

    [EDIT]
    - Did your memory card folder even exist?

    First I uploaded them to a image host like imageshack.us
    I used the IMG tags

    Take the link for the IMG like this:
    http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1964/config3.png

    Then put the IMG tags around it like this:
    Code:
    [IMG]http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1964/config3.png[/IMG]
    Then when you post it with the IMG tags on the Image Link, it looks like this:

    Ok. Everything is right.

    So Play it and it will likely work just fine.
