Playstation 1 Games Not Saving

AstroCEO

Hello,

Some Playstation 1 games in Batocera are not saving progress. For example, Crash Bash. How can this be fixed?

you mean the memory card function within the emulator does not work?
you could alternatively just use hotkey + y to save a state (and hotkey + x to load). note that y and x are referring to a snes-style controller. so y on a ps3 controller for example is square and x is triangle and on a xbox controller x and y are reversed.

Yes, the memory card function for specifically only the PS1 content isn’t working. I haven’t tried the hotkey states, but nothing else has remedied this. I’d like to not have to restart my PS1 content each time though :(

which architecture (PC, Raspberry Pi) are you using and which Batocera version?
and which emulator/core? for pc x86 you can choose between mednafen/beetle psx and pcsx-rearmed
do you have the proper ps1 bios files?
and does it happen with every ps1 game or only with certain ones?

AstroCEO

Batocera 5.26 on ROCKPro64. I have tested all the Crash Bandicoot games, and some others with no luck. I would have to really dive into the library to get you a concrete every game. Bios files are proper.

@joinski So, I finally dove into testing this some more, and it affected all PS1 games. The save files would write and be noticed until a full reboot was done. Awesomely enough, 5.29 appears to have fixed this issue altogether! When I updated from 5.26 to 5.29, it started working for all games! Woo.

@joinski, from 5.26 to 5.29 are there any new systems/emulators I can now add files for?
