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.

@deskjobo said in SAVE STATE STUCK AT 0% ISSUSES:

@theotherdan Thank you so incredibly much for your response. I followed both sets of steps you gave, and my results are as follows:
After using df -h my available storage is shown to be 785M out of 3.3G size.
For the command ls -al /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ all the emulators appear to have 'pi' in both the user and group, as well as all the correct modebits.

Is 785M enough of an available storage or could that be the cause of the problem?

ps. All my roms are stored in a usb drive instead of in the sd card with the image.

@deskjobo
785M will be 785 Megabytes, so a decent amount of space. For save states, I would say that space is not an issue..
Now, since you are not using the default location for saving, you will need to adjust the process a bit.
You can look at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg by running 'cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg'. This file should show you where the save states and saves games are stored:

#Save all save files (*.srm) to this directory. This includes related files like .bsv, .rtc, .psrm, etc ...
#This will be overridden by explicit command line options.
savefile_directory = "/media/usb0/savefile" <--

#Save all save states (*.state) to this directory.
#This will be overridden by explicit command line options.
savestate_directory = "/media/usb0/savestate" <--

Based on the output, and where the USB device is loaded, you will have to append the command to meet it:

sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/usb0/<emulator>

Let me know how that turns out.

Thanks guys I'll install a psp emulator 😎

@hankola copied them via file manager and how I previously did it which was going via \RETROPIE.
think I might need to do a clean install again

I have converted FF7 to PBP but it just keeps sending me back to the game list every time

You need to find a PSX bios file and put it in your BIOS directory. Try looking for SCPH1001.BIN or
scph5501.bin those are both very common.

@pyd in the documentation it says that ps2 doesn't work for pi:

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-2
"This is only for x86 builds- Not the Raspberry Pi!."

so it (and paths) are not installed on your pi
