ok here is a noobish question i've downloaded from a site some saves for FFVIII its in GME format how can i load these in game? i mean with tehse saves you have fully complete the game etc etc how can i load thesE?

Use PSXmemtool to convert Memory Card to .mcr format.
After that just point pSX to the created card.

Eww... that looks like a program you'd have to swim through. There are definitely some much simpler ones to use.

@Nazghoul: Try this program. Simply start it, click OK to the first box that pops up (it has no relevance to you, so just ignore it). Then click "File" -> "Open MemCard Image", and find the memory card file you downloaded (and double-click it). Once it's loaded and you see the save files on it, click "File -> "Save MemCard Image". Click the drop-down box next to "Save as type:" and click "Bleem! Memory Card Image File (.mcd)", then hit OK to the box that pops up (it's just telling you to make sure you give the memory card a filename). Then type in a name for the memory card, choose where you want to save it, and click "Save". That's it.

There are, of course, a couple other programs that require even less work to use, but I like this program because it offers a lot of other features that could be useful to you down the road.

:\ i've done everyhing you said but still the psxfin(the emulator i use) cant read it or iam doing something wrong after i change its extension what i do? :\ point One of the 2 memorycards to the new file? Done it and didnt work

You converted it to Bleem! format and it didn't work? Once you used the program to convert it, you shouldn't have been changing any extensions after that. The emulator works fine with .mcd, .mcr, .bin, or any other raw format. Are you sure you followed my instructions step for step?

The other thing... what region is your game, and what region is the save from. If they are different regions, the save has to be converted. Also, is pSX giving you any messages about memory cards when you try to use them? Are the saves visible in the PS1 BIOS menu?

Not really, all you have to do is open the card and hit "Save" button afterwards.

Gamesoul !!!
Well first yeap I followed Step by step second i think they are both pal
third when iam pointing the second memory to the one that i converted it can read it but.. when i go to load the game it's Empy the memory :\ dunno if so leave it i give up :P thnx again* Btw ^^

It can read it...? So the save is visible in the PS1 BIOS but not in the game itself? That usually means the save is for a different region of the game. Try uploading the save and give me the link so I can take a look at it. I assume you're using a PAL game from what you've said. The odds are pretty good, considering that most sites hosting game saves have them mostly for NTSC-U games.
