      Hey Guys,

      I'm new at the RetroPie Users an I have one bis issue. I've installed RetroPie 4.4 and placed the SCPH1001.BIN at BIOS Folder. The first game I've tried works fine with this and I can save to the memory card. Now I've started the next game (theme park world) and it will not detect the memory card. The Gamename.srm file is successfully created but I can't access the card. Any Ideas? I've also tried to use an other bios but without success.... I know there is a quick save function at the emulator but the problem is the game doesnt start without a memory card.

      Re: PSP and PSX Save to Memory card not working

        How did you determine that the memory card is the problem ? Did you get an error message in the game ?

          the problem is that I just can run the tutorial. There is no error but I cant start the main game. after google the problem I'm sure that the problem is that the memory card can't be detected. I've tested on a windows pxe emulator and it works fine

            @DerBusfahrer It's because of the copy protection included in the PAL version. You'll need the corresponding .sbi file for the emulator to decrypt the scrambled data or use the NTSC version.
