Title: I cant seem to save.
Post by: cocoscraps on January 31, 2015, 06:02:40 am
I've never encountered this before but I do have a memory card in my folder but whenever I need to save the game, for example FFT: Parted Ways, the screen freezes at the "Checking Memory Card".

Help, sorry im so newb at this. :(

Greetings from the Philippines! Great site btw. :D

Does it keep playing the little 'shirp' sound of it looking for a memory card? This is a common side effect if you're using certain Gameshark codes. If it's completely freezing and doing nothing, then it's not something I've encountered.

What are you playing on, specifically? I'm guessing an emulator of some sort, but the type and version may be good to know. Also any plugins, if used.

Thank you, and welcome to FFHacktics, where all your dreams come true!

:welcome:

... You could start by perhaps answering the questions that Toshiko asked the person above??

Emulator: of course ePSXe
Plugin: Video - Pete's or Pe ops. I have a very average laptop but tactics can work here.

I use gameshark codes but if i want to use it again, is there anyway to fix it? :)

Also, my game im currently playing is FFT+

Great game btw, but I had a few adjustments because I was surprised by the difficulty compared to the original.

ePSXe is the worst PlayStation emulator you can use, especially for FFT. Anything else from the last ten years is better. pSX (psxfin 1.13), pcsx-r (latest revision (http://www.emucr.com/2015/01/pcsx-reloaded-svn-r93286.html)), psxjin (different fork of pcsx (https://code.google.com/p/psxjin/downloads/list)), even the esoteric Xebra I would recommend over ePSXe.

Also, disable gameshark codes when you're going into the save menu. Works on console, works on emulator. It's also recommended to not save or load data with codes active regardless of the game, as it often screws with save checks and causes your save to be considered corrupt and lost forever.
