Final fantasy 9 saved games

[shamanking]

Hi, i got a little problem, i just start playing FF9 one week ago and when i start the second disk when you need to enter a city into a sandstorm the screen just stay black and it stop loading from the cd. I play with the latest version of psx emulators EPSX 1.6 and i learn that the 1.5.2 version is better for this game but do i have to start all over the game cause i try to load my save files and it's not the same extention and doesn't want to load. HELP ME!!!! Thanks

Are you using ingame saves or savestates?

[shamanking]

i tried both but doesn't seem to work either ways.

Have you created new directory or have you just put 1.6.0 executable in 1.5.2 directory?

i played first in 1.6.0 and i created another folder on the same drive for 1.5.2 but the extension for memory card in 1.6 is .bin and in 1.5.2 is .mcr and the save states are in .psv in 1.6 and in .00? in 1.5 nothing seems compatible so what can i do? thanks for helping!

try using SSSPSX or PSXeven to pass that point using Memcard saves. then switch back to ePSXe 152..

BTW if you need to convert the memory card from one type to another so other emulators can accept it
download some tools, you can find them in download section..

[Shendo]

I see the problem now, you were using pSX and not ePSXe.

pSX 1.6 is outdated, you can download the latest version here.
If you want to continue with ePSXe then change memory card extension from .bin to .mcr, it will work.

You're the Best Shendo Thank you!!!

If you have Geforce FX or higher, Radeon 9500 or higher then use Pete's OpenGL2 plugin.
For any other graphic card use Pete's OpenGL 1.76.

Then configure your video plugin like this.

btw: If you are playing the game from Cd make an ISO.

unless you have SiS integrated or Via Unichrome, which doesn't have a decent ICD at all. which you then need to use the D3D plugin
