double post: https://www.ngemu.com/threads/memory-card-mcr-files-not-working.206682/

usually I indicate using the option below:
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, "Use Individual memcards by game": CHECK

and thus the memory card management becomes transparent to the user and completely controlled by the emulator. it is the best scenario.

but in your case you need to make manual changes and so either understand how the automatic management of memory cards works and make the necessary adjustments or perform the manual management and UNCHECK the previous option.

you should not need any program, just a real BIOS and the ePSXe emulator, but if you want you can try the program below:

MemcardRex 1.8 released

cheers!

 

In my case when ever i try to save on a memory card it says failed to write do you know how to fix?

 

please start by reading the emulator guide to solve the most common questions:

ePSXe Basic Setup Guide (Windows)
https://www.ngemu.com/threads/epsxe-basic-setup-guide-windows.204673/

after reading, use a real BIOS, and obviously disable HLE:
ePSXe, Config, BIOS, "Enable HLE BIOS": UNCHECK

configures the emulator for MANUAL use of memory cards:
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, "Use Individual memcards by game": UNCHECK

it is important that both cards are ENABLED and with valid addresses:
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, 1, ENABLE: check
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, 2, ENABLE: check

start the emulator through the BIOS and choose the options to navigate through the contents of the memory card.

repeat the process until you find your memory card:
ePSXe, File, Run BIOS, (then, after loading,) Memory Card.

profit.

edit: Can not you just save? is there no save to be recovered? Do you want to just save the game? Please just read the guide, and follow their directions.

I have a "real bios" if you want you can add my discord (Alpha Male 2#7986) and talk to me thorough that i am having a hard time understanding text.

 

it could possible be a outdated bios could you send a link to a up to date bios?

 

you can not have an "outdated" BIOS. there are only the versions that were released more than 20 years ago and they all work very well.

ok, do the following:

(a) close the emulator

in doubt execute the command below in CMD 2 times:

taskkill /F /T /IM epsxe.exe

(b) clear the emulator settings

run the script provided in the link below. it will erase all your settings.

Remove ePSXe/PCSXR Settings
https://www.ngemu.com/threads/remove-epsxe-pcsxr-settings.197337/

(c) delete the memory card folder

there should be a folder inside the epsxe emulator folder called "memcards".

if the "memcards" folder exists, delete it.

(d) recreate memory cart folder

if there is no more folder named "memcards" create a new folder.

the folder must have the same name without quotes: "memcards"

(e) open the emulator and redo the settings

as explained by the guide: ePSXe Basic Setup Guide (Windows)
https://www.ngemu.com/threads/epsxe-basic-setup-guide-windows.204673/

I recommend checking that all the options below are enabled:
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, "Use Individual memcards by game": check
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, 1, ENABLE: check
ePSXe, Options, Memory Cars, 2, ENABLE: check

done!

if it does not work, I do not know what your problem is and I can not help you.

cheers!

 

Dont worry thank you for your help i dont know what i did but its working. ill come back if it stops working. THANK YOU.

 

For anyone information MMC issues can be caused by overclocked CPU. (in ePSXe settings, not the PC CPU)
In Spider man case 2x and above will cause it.
Setting it to 1,5 is actually a good idea as it fixes in game FPS drops.

 

Thank you so much. I converted my VMP save files from my PSP to MCR but ePSXe wouldn't load the mem cards. I changed the default CPU Overclocking speed of x1 to x1.5 and it worked!

 

Didn't know that overclocking ePSXe prevents the loading of memory card files, I just changed it to 1.5x and finally got to load a file I wanted to.

 

Good new year friend. Can you tell us how you brake this issue? I'm having the same problem,with the same game... the memory card is working only for load game but is not saving also he is not appearing on the bios. Neither of them, 00 and 01. Only the Sstates is working. The memrex is showing that the file have data but is not showing himself on the bios. Again what version of bios you use? All the best earlier for you now.
