      Hello,

      I would like to know, how to save games in the retropie emulation like on Playstation in past times.
      So using like a memory card.
      I read this topic :

      https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/6lyfa0/solved_memory_card_psx_question/

      I made everything, but now I want to know how to save.

      I have a raspberry Pi 3 with Retropie 4.4, using a PS3 Controller and the emulationsoftware lr-pcsx-rearmed.

      And do you have an example of games for two ways of saving where i can check if everything works?

      1. I can save every time?
      2. I can save at saving points.

      Thank you
      Fantomas

          @Fantomas Only a few PS1 games used passwords exclusively (Doom comes to mind)..most games used the memory card. In those games you can save the game just like how you would do on the original hardware. You can use savestates (save at any point in the game) in all games.
