Back then , to save your progress in a ps1 game it was necessary to use a memorycard. So is normal if the game searching for one when you chose to save your game. Of course you don't need a actual memorycard, the all process is virtualized.

So when you want to save from the game, select the memorycard and chose to save. You can find the save file in the game folder, it will be something like this :
Final Fantasy VII.srm.

@enira said in Final Fantasy Tactics PSX - Text issues:

I am one of the owners of a GPi Case. I got as base image Super Retropie Rev. E (found it working with the unit). The unit is based on a Raspberry Pi Zero.

We don't support 3rd party images, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@fordpickup said in Sound Error and Final Fanstasy Origins Failure (PSX):

(It didn't solve the weird sound error notification, but hey if it works it works!)

I think that sound/alsa error comes from EmulationStation, not fro the emulator. Use the EmulationStation menu and play with the Sound settings - Audio Card/Device are the ones that produce this error. Most likely you can change the Audio Card from Default to something else and the error will go away.

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions.

As it seems, this capability is not difficult coding-wise, it just hasn't been implemented (yet).
Until then, the easiest way still seems to load disks from the menu, it just takes a few seconds anyway :-)

@barmanphysics Is the save file a STATE save or did you use an ingame save point? If it's ingame, then you could also try the other ps1 emulators, to see if it's related to the emulator you're using. (I'm not 100% sure if you can use save files between emulators.)
I am planning to play FFVII on my Pi but it will take months before I'm where you are now.

I downloaded it.

@scyllabus also, retropad isnt a part of the issue.

@markyh444 very cool! Thanks for the time and effort! :)

@dankcushions I've tried that also. It's off. Haven't had any luck with the suggestions that are already out there online.

@BobHarris I'll look into it then. Thanks!

@dankcushions heyyy I know this is pretty old but I'm having this issue and enabling the battle fix thing didn't do anything :(

@RDaugherty get the id of another button from the config, and put that in the per rom config - eg input_enable_hotkey_btn = "9", so now another button will be hotkey, and select will work. The reason why select isn't working is because it's used for triggering retroarch hotkeys.

When you played them back in the days you played them on a normal TV, which has a lower resolution compared to the TV you're playing them on now.
