DexDrive (.gme) to ePSXe (.mcr) Conversion

[hollow]

I have tried several tools (Memory Card Manager, PSXMemTool) to convert an FF7 DexDrive GME save game to ePSXe MCR format with no luck. When I go to load the save all of the slots are just empty.

Is this because the DexDrive GME file was made from an NTSC FF7, and I am using a PAL version? If so, is there anyway to remedy this?

Well yes, in general saves from different regions don't work. PSXMemtool might be able to change the region for you, so that's probably your best chance.

If you're wanna convert it,why not try using MemCard Converter? It's available at http://www.aldostools.com/

Look at the left menu -> PSX Memory card tools -> Memory Converter All in One!

I usually use this tools to convert the GME saves available on the net to MCR saves for use in Bleem or PSXeven.

Ok, so I change the region to Europe, and change the Product code to SCES-00867 from SCUS-94163, and then load that into an MCR file.

When I open the card in FF7, it's just blank. Even data that was previously on that card dosen't show up.

Am I doing something wrong or leaving out something?

Try using PSXMemtool to convert it to a PC save, then convert it back to a PSX savewith teh appropriate region.

Didn't work, the card is just blank.

Any more ideas?

you shouldnt need to change it just go into your memory card settings in epsxe and select the save you want. i have 1.6.0 and it recognizes gme. but the ntsc version is a little different than the pal version so i dont know if the save will work
