Save file location - multi disc game (FF8)

mitu

@simongeoghegan Judging by your picture, I don't think it's right. You renamed some FF7 .cue files to .cdX and now there's a FF8.cue (?).
Again, you should be able to do this over the network, via file shares, there's no need to move the USB around.

@mitu, yes that's my fault - in my "psx" folder, I had both FF7 and FF8 games - I wasn't paying attention and thought i'd duplicated them so deleted some, luckily I took a back up so its corrected this now.

I'm not sure I am confident enough to try the SSH so if it wont work through correcting things on the memory stick, I guess i'll have to wait until I track down my card reader and make the changes through the Raspberry Pi memory card :)

I don't understand why, but I'm not going to repeat my advice the 3rd time.

@mitu apologies, as I say, I'm not the most confident of users so some of the steps involving network/file share are things I don't really understand - I've renamed the files now as advised and plugged my memory stick in but still no joy.

I've a version of the game where I can cycle through discs (but without the original saved game), or I have 4 instances (1 for each disc), where I have saved game data one Disc 1 but no ability to cycle to the next disc to continue.

I'm obviously doing something wrong myself, and don't want to waste anyone's time further so I'm going to start the game again I think - I've appreciated everyone's help with trying to resolve for me

As long as you take a backup of the .srm you needn't worry about anything.
The network share is the easiest and it only shares user data folders for retropie like: roms bios and configs.

The folder will be displayed like a windows directory in explorer, the local network doesn't need any configuration, it could be either through a router or directly connected through the ethernet.
