...I'm not much of an emulator guy, I'm running PCSX 1.9.91 and it won't let me save my file (I realize this may be super basic issue, but I know zilch about emulator issues ).
Anyway, one of three things happens when I try to save:
1) I choose slot 1 and it gets hung up on the 'checking memory card' screen - it just flashes endlessly and I can no longer input anything (in other words it freezes).
2) I choose slot 2 and it says not enough memory to save a file, but I technically can just go back and continue w/o saving
...andddd
3) I create a new memory card (I read this remedied the problem), but get the same error as 2) again.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks guys, you crazy nerds who made Jot5 are amazing! Keep up the good work!

Try using pSX (aka PSXFin) it's very lightweight and I can guarantee it works with Jot5., as it's what I make most of it on. If it still doesn't work than you might need a different FFT Image.
Also, I may be crazy, and a nerd, but... wait, what was the third thing you said?
My emulator did this too OP.
Just use save states to save. Most emulators I've used gave 5-10 slots which is more than enough for Jot5. Only save state when allowed to though like on the map or when you're prompted to in dungeons.
Good luck.
Only using savestates is a terrible recommendation. It will likely prevent you from using newer versions of the mod (by crashing/freezing), or simply having inconsistent data that will break the game in unintended ways that could make progress impossible.
At the very least you need to save your game before patching with a newer version and loading back that one afterwards.
Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention I'm on a Mac, so it looks like PSXFin isn't an option. Should I just give in and get parallels or whatever?
