Gran Turismo and Memory cards

[squarednine]

Hey everyone,

epsxe is running gran turismo (1) great. I've only got one problem. When i try to save my game, it occasionally does not work. I'd say 2/3 of the time it works great, but when it does not, it simply flashes a screen (says something like "no," i assume its saying that i cannot access the memory card) and returns to the save game screen. If i continue to try to save, eventually it will work.

Any suggestions on fixing this problem? Have any of you guys had this sort of thing before?

I haven't actualy played GT 1 on ePSXe yet, but you could try using save states?

press f4, f4 or f5 then f4 before you save or load for the first time..

hehe, that was my solution, anyway, I know sometimes works the f5, but why is that?

Umm F5 I dunno. It makes FFtactics work on my machine coz Tactics doesn't support analog
