Error PPSSPP

[kako10357]

I was trying to open a game in PPSSPP but it only said "Error loading file: just a directory." What should I do?

With that little information nobody can, or will, help you.

1. which ppsspp version?
2. which operating system?
3. and most importantly, what game?

I don't know about the other guy but I am getting the same message, I'm pretty sure its just the game that I am trying to load but I want to check with someone more knowledgeable with this. Any help you can give would be great!

If you mean the original FF7 and not Crisis Core, PPSSPP doesn't support PS1 eboots.

Yes it was FF7 eboot, but i converted it over to an iso file, when it didn't work I tried cso and neither of them work

Hence why I just said "PPSSPP doesn't support PS1 eboots."

We don't emulate Sony's PS1 emulator and have no plans on supporting it.

daxtsu's reply is of course definitive as regards running FF7 in PPSSPP.
Like he said, PS1 support is simply not implemented and won't be.

I'd like to elaborate a bit on this though, by adding that using an emulator on a physical platform to emulate another platform in order to run another emulator to emulate a third platform is a hopelessly inefficient thing to do.

It can work, if the physical platform is sufficiently superior to the third platform, but it simply isn't worth doing. You'd be far better off finding an emulator for that third platform which will run on your physical platform. And in the case of PS1 emulation that should be no problem.

There are several good PS1 emulators available for PCs as well as Android.
I won't name any of them here, as that would be too off-topic in a PPSSPP-specific forum, but you can easily find them by googling "PS1 emulator".

Finally, if you converted PS1 FF7 to just a single ISO file, as your post states, then it has no chance of working anywhere. Original FF7 consists of three PS1 discs, so with just one ISO you only have a third of the game.

If you really want FF7 on a modern platform, then perhaps you should look into getting the official remake of the game from Square-Enix. That's what I did recently, and it works fine on my Win7_x64 PC (unlike the original release of FF7 for PC, which I also have).
