no .mcr files in memcard folder

well it appears I have no .mcr files the memcards folder for ePSXe

 

ePSXe will create them when you save a game. If you havnt already open up ePSXe, open an iso, play a little and save. it should give you a .mcr file. If not then something crazy is going on. Most of the time I used save states anyway.

 

I saved and theres still no .mcr files

 

what nobody can help me with this

 

What is the file/path location in the ePSXe configuration?

 

Are you using save states or saving in game?

 

I'm saving in game and I've checked the path and it does lead to the memcard folder

 

What is the file name?

epsxe000.mcr
epsxe001.mcr
epsxe002.mcr
etc?

They should be stored in epsxe/memcards/*.*

When you run your game and try to load a saved game from your card, is the card empty? Also, if you have multiple copies of ePSXe installed (Like 1.5.2, 1.6.0, and 1.7.0) make sure you are looking in the correct memcards folder.

 

There are no fie names at all, as he stated there are no memory card files at all.

 

There *has* to be a file name in his ePSXe configuration. If there is no file name then it will not make the file.

 

nothing but this one file in memcards and heres the file path

 

What about your configuration?

 

this is a bit werid

 

Ok, I think I found the problem.


Can you post the full path from the configuration?

I just tested out some things:

My memory card path for Slot 1 is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Basic\Desktop\PSX\epsxe170\memcards\epsxe002.mcr

I changed it to:
C:\Documents and Settings\Basic\Desktop\PSX\playstation\memcards\epsxe002.mcr

I loaded up the Playstation BIOS and checked out the memory cards. It treated it like I had a card in Slot 1. So I copied some games from the card in Slot 2. It worked correctly, and I hit Exit, and then went back and it was still there. But I closed ePSXe and reopened it, and checked Memory Card 1 again. It was empty. I went to my PSX folder and looked for a folder called "playstation" and it did not exist.

I believe that if the folder does not exist, then the file is never properly made. I think your file name may be correct but your path maybe isn't. It's trying to create the memory card file in a folder path that isn't there.


PS. I checked this because I noticed your ePSXe folder was renamed "Playstation". I have mine still set to the default that came with 1.7.0 that is "epsxe170". I think that when you renamed the folder the default configuration for the memory cards wasn't changed with it.

 

I tried changing back to the original name and still got the same
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Roms\memcards\crash_warped_1.mcr

 

According to your screenshots, which show the folder tree, your card location should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Roms\Playstation\memcards\crash_warped_1.mcr


Since I can repeat your issue by having the wrong folders in the memcard config, I'm 90% certain this is the issue.
If you still cannot get this to work, try something real simple like:

C:\crash_warped_1.mcr

This will remove the folder issue all together and just put the memcard file on the root of your drive. It's not the best solution but it will show that the issue is not with ePSXe itself but with the path placed in the configuration of the memory card.

 

I moved the memcards folder into the roms folder I think it might work now

 

Let us know, or else I won't be able to sleep tonight cause I'll be thinking "Did it work?"

 

it works ;D
