ePSXe load memorycard from Emulationstation systems.cfg

[Egg90]

Hi.
I'm not using Retropie or even a PI but hope someone here can help me.
I have a mini-ITX board built into a SNES, running Emulationstation, and am having trouble getting Emulationstation to load Playstation mem cards using ePSXe from the es_systems.cfg file.

I see the command is listed as -loadmemc0 <file> but I can't get it to work.

Here is the Playstation entry in my config file:

<system>
<name>psx</name>
<fullname>Sony Playstation</fullname>
<path>C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/roms/playstation</path>
<extension>.bin .ecm</extension>
<command>C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/ePSXe.exe -slowboot -analog -nogui -loadbin "%ROM_RAW%"</command>
<platform>psx</platform>
<theme>psx</theme>
</system>

Now if I add the switch:

<command>C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/ePSXe.exe -slowboot -analog -nogui -loadbin -loadmemc0 <C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr> "%ROM_RAW%"</command>

Emulationstation says System Config is invalid, presumably because the < and > characters are used as commands by the cofig file.
This also happens if I try:

-loadmemc0 "<C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr>"

The next 2 entries load Emulationstation ok, but when trying to launch a rom I just get a black screen:

-loadmemc0 "C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr"
-loadmemc0 C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr

How else can I interpret the -loadmemc0 <file> instruction?

Thanks,

Hey just saw this post today!

I am not sure if you got it figured out but I was having the same problem and what I ended up doing was not using brackets or quotes for the memory card file location. I also had to make sure that -loadbin was the last command before "%ROM_RAW%" or I got an error saying it couldn't load a .exe.

It should look like this:

<command>C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/ePSXe.exe -nogui -slowboot -analog -loadmemc0 C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr -loadbin "%ROM_RAW%"</command>

I hope that helps
