Save State Error on Gpsp 0.8

[Basil-Culex]

sorry, but my question wasnt answered on the compatiability thread


but for some reason, when i save state, the light flashes in the left side of the psp, but than it freezes...what should i do?

Format your memory stick then put everything in and try again. Sometimes you have to do that.

Edit: Or just simply wait...

[Basil-Culex]

ha ha ha funny

anyways i waited like for 2 minutes....and i counted....for some reason..

[RunawayPrisoner]

You're just restless, I think. Anyways, try again. The save states definitely work. If they don't, some games would be hard to debug and test. *cough*

[Basil-Culex]

2 minutes to save makes me restless?

thats an understatement...

[SuperBatXS]

I think he's right, i had this problem alot, and formating the memory stick works. I had many problems with other programs, and formating the memory stick and putting everything back again always works. That is what i am doing right now because i have a problem with devhook. Formating memory stick also helps if you can't delete a file on your memory stick.

[Basil-Culex]

i'm not going to format my memory stick which has like almost 2gb of stuff

[RunawayPrisoner]

Back them up on your computer and then copy them back in later then. That's the only way. I wasn't happy when it happened to my 4GB also but... oh well. ):

[Basil-Culex]

could it be practically a glitch maybe..?

[Adiuvo]

What game are you using?

[Basil-Culex]

i saved in using Megaman Zero 1

Once Tales 3 gave me a Bad Jump error when I loaded my state, but nothing like it after that. Never experienced what you have though

Did you happen to swap your BIOS with another? You have to use the same BIOS you used when you save stated or things like that will probably happen.

AHHH yep thats it. I thought getting a better bios would fix the ingame saving again, but it didn`t :/. Good call, ******** !

[Basil-Culex]

i tried using the save state with three other games, the same thing happens.....what gives...should i get a new bios?

[RunawayPrisoner]

It sounds like it's definitely your mem stick. Swapping BIOS or any other thing won't work. You'll have to format your mem stick. D:

[Basil-Culex]

ahh...forget it, i'll just play without using saved states...at least i can still play KINGDOM HEARTS COM

[SuperBatXS]

Lol, don't be lazy....i have a 2gb stick with tons of games, movies, and emulators and formating once or twice every month or so always keeps your memory stick clean (free of viruses and organized). Problem is that storing all your psp stuff can really slow down your computer unless you have a partitioned hard drive or better yet...another hard drive.

[Basil-Culex]

wouldnt want to mess up my dev hook...ya know the settings and all...lol

i'm pretty sure, my ms doesnt have any viruses, and yes i do keep everything in order, for songs, i put in different folders and catergorize them lol

that includes photos..

or would it be safe just to drag and drop everything to the desktop and than back again?

[RunawayPrisoner]

I don't know why but y' know... maybe your memory stick just scrambles itself up in data form. (Not in the form you see it in your Explorer) In any case, just copy the files to elsewhere, format the stick and put the files back in. At least that fixed a whole lotta other troubles I had with gpsp and other homebrews.

[SuperBatXS]

Don't drag everything back to your desktop and put it back in your psp. Only drag the files that you think you really need (or want) and drag the files that you think are safe.

[Basil-Culex]

well, all the files are safe, and yes, i pretty much want everything i want in my psp, after all, i deleted all the useless junk long time ago.
