Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. The save file is done by RetroArch, which I haven't heard or see to work that (doesn't matter the which core is used).

@shmonroe If you're playing European(Pal) on easy and not for zero retries, zero kills, zero time caught. Save file is right after sniper wolf. You can use Memcardrex to check if there is anything in the srm, that is in the link too, but there probably isn't anything there. Emulator closing would sometimes happen when I didn't have enough gpu memory, but I can't say for certain if it would help, the Gpu memory split option is entered from raspi-config advanced settings.

Why don't you post in the original topic ? I'm sure you'll get an answer from the author.

@mitu Well after I accidentally asked the system to install retropie again through an in software menu it wouldn't even let me boot up because it said I had no memory left. I reformatted the SD card and re-flashed it and put my roms back on and everything works 100% correctly now! I'm not positive of what was actually wrong but possibly it was full of something? Thank you for your time and responses :D.

@crickentine I share your enthusiasm about FFVII but I'd disagree with the game getting good after Midgar. The game is already brilliant during Midgar so if it doesn't take hold of you then, it probably never will. The only thing that does get better is the combat (more varied and difficult).

Maybe your changes messed up your retroarch.cfg files. It might help if you give us your configuration for savestate_directory. Can you run this and give us the output: cd /opt/retropie/configs grep -r 'savestate_directory' ./

@haller Thanks for sharing your solution for others.

All of them from what I can tell. At the very least SNES, n64, GB, GBC, GBA.

Answered the question myself by just running part one. It seems to work, but man satellaview games are odd.

This tool MPKEdit does what you want. load the .N64 file then save it as a normal .MPK which can then be converted to Mupen's .srm format with whatever tool you have. Edit: OK so you're trying to extract EEPROM saves from an MPK file, not trying to use an actual controller pak save. Open the .N64 in MPKEdit, then Hold Control (save icons for note should turn red) and click the save icon. then rename it as required, convert it to SRM as required, etc.

@kingradness can you please post your renamed file here for me? I'd love to get a good save of this game but I'm having a hard time.

Thanks a ton. I didn't even have to do the bindings because the disk control options are easily accessible in the retroarch quick menu. I found it by accident when I tried to figure out how to do it; turns out I was pretty close... The only thing I missed was that I was supposed to swap the disk input in between ejecting and closing the virtual tray. Thanks so much for helping, you managed to find the missing pieces to my puzzle.

@vbs I see what you are saying. Easy and simple instructions. Only thing is for me is I have the "suikoden.bin" and "Suikoden.cue" but, there is no "suikoden.srm" anywhere on my PC. So how do I create those files or even locate them in retroarch? I been trying to figure something out but I am out of ideas. I am using Retroarch version 1.8.1 with the "PCSX ReARMed" and I also have the "Enable Second Memory Card (Shared) toggled on. Still nothing. What am I missing? I know this is a reply that's years from the OP but if you see this or anyone else does the help would be greatly appreciated

@theink Just a tip to better describe you issues: It would be better if you explicitly say what software you are using. ;-) Because GUI can be confused with RGUI (RetroArch GUI). When you say GUI in your previous post it seems that you refers to the emulationstation, anyway.

@lkmaster Replying to a 2 years old thread will not get you answers for the current version. Please start a new topic and state your problem/question there.
