When it can't load it by clicking Load State File..., what does it do? Loading and saving states works fine for me in Final Fantasy 1. Also, you may notice "Quickload State" and "Quicksave State", do these work fine for you?

Minimizing also doesn't cause any problems on my side. Does minimizing PPSSPP cause the same problem while playing other games?

Title: Final Fantasy 1
Game identification: ULUS10251
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium
Format: ISO/CSO
Compatibility: It plays to some extent

I could load both files ("ISO" and ".cso"), but I receive this message:

"Insufficient space on Memory Stick Duo.
Memory Stick Duo with at least 672 KB
of free space required to save game.

Assign data to be deleted?

Yes No

X Enter O Back".

If I choose "Yes", then I receive this message:

"There is no Data
O Back".

If I choose "No", then I receive thive this message:

"Game data cannot be saved
in the current state.

Proceed with game anyway?

Yes No

X Enter O Back".

If I choose "No", then it goes back to:

"Insufficient space on Memory Stick Duo..."

If I choose "Yes", then it goes to the game.

It does not show the introductory cinematic. It has no music, but it has sound at least for the "clicks". The game runs slowly. It has the interference of blinking, black squares (I have attached a picture showing that, it is easier than describing it) . When I run into battle, the screen turns black for a few seconds, then I go to battle.

If I minimize the screen, the program crashes ("PPSSPP has stopped working"), also if I do not play it for a few minutes. If I click on "Save State File...", it creates a file with ".ppst" extension, but I can not load it when clicking on "Load State File...". Is there a way to "Save" and "Load" state?.

Those are some of the anomalities I have found so far, I will report if I find more. Can someone kindly help me with those issues, please? (perhaps the most important for me right now is to "Save state", and of course: to "Load state"). Thank you very much.

Thank you for your prompt answer (sorry, I did not see it before I deleted my post to add a few more words and a picture). When I click on "Load State File..." and choose one of those files, I receive a message titled: "Sorry", and it reads: "Savestate failure. Please try again later.". With "Quickload state" or "F4" I receive the same message without taking me to the window from where I choose the file.

I have not tried PPSSPP with other games because I only have Final Fantasy (I am new to this, just started two days ago). Thank you very much for your help.

Interesting. Can you try the latest git build?

http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/

As of writing, it should be -299 on this page. Save states work for me in battles and towns in this version. Let me know if it's working differently for you.

[hhisc29926]

What is a "git build"?, and what is that "-299"?. I am sorry for not knowing that. I went to the page, now what should I do?. Thank you again.

---

Are those "patches"?.

[[Unknown]]

No, they are complete versions. Just click "Download" under Windows 32-bit (the rightmost download link), and it'll be like the 6.1 download. This version has new features and also new bugs since it's the latest development version.

A few games are broken right now but Final Fantasy 1 should still be working fine.

The latest version has "v0.6-299-gca347da" on the left side.

-[Unknown]

[hhisc29926]

Every time I click on "Save State File...", ""Quicksave state" or "F2" the program crashes ("PPSSPP has stopped working"), that is probably why it fails to create a "right" save state.

Should I uninstall my current version of PPSSPP (v0.6.1) first?.

[[Unknown]]

It doesn't matter. You can just extract the archive and use the new version.

-[Unknown]

[hhisc29926]

I have done it, and I guess it could load both files (the ".cso" and the "ISO"), because it shows on the title bar of the window: "ULUS10251 : FINAL FANTASY", but that is the only thing it does, because the screen remains black. However, the "Cube" sample works fine. When trying to load the "Save state" files, I keep receiving the same message: "Savestate failure. Please try again later.".

[[Unknown]]

Just to make sure, you're running the emulator right? Try the following:

Menu -> Emulation -> Run
Menu -> Debug -> Log Console

The log should show something like "Exporting ent 0 named ff1psp, 2 funcs, 3 vars, resident 0893bed4", and after you hit start it will show some red errors like "sceGeBreak(mode=0)". If you don't see this, could you paste what you're getting?

If you're looking at it, an easy way to copy the log is to right click the title bar ("PPSSPP Debug Console") and select Edit -> Mark. Now, scroll up all the way and drag from the top left inside the black area (where the text is) to the bottom right. After that, either press Enter, or alternatively right click the title bar again and select Edit -> Copy. This will copy the text which you can then paste here.

Also, please do note that save states are NOT compatible between different versions of PPSSPP. A save state you created in an older version unfortunately will not work in this newer version, whether it was created properly or not.

I do not click on "Run" because it is grayed out (deactivated), there is a mark on "Run on load" (that will not affect, I think). Well, I have unchecked that and clicked on "Run" then, but I get the same results. I am attaching a copy of the log in MS Word (I think it will be better than pasting it on the reply, just for not messing up this thread so much), but I did not see something like "Exporting ent 0 named ff1psp, 2 funcs, 3 vars, resident 0893bed4". I saw some "red errors", though.

Well, since I do not see the supposedly attached file, I am pasting the text from the log here:

That is from the latest PPSSPP I have downloaded (the one where I can not enter the game).

---

I found "Exporting ent 0 named ff1psp, 2 funcs, 3 vars, resident 0893bed4", and it is exactly like that

[[Unknown]]

That's interesting. "DirectoryFileSystem::OpenFile: FAILED, 123"... hmm. That means "The The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

And this is on Windows 7 Home Premium. Hmm. Maybe try renaming the folder you have it in from "ppsspp-v0.6-299-gca347da-windows-x86" to like "ppsspp-test"? Maybe it's throwing a fit because of your Windows username having a period in it...

-[Unknown]

[hhisc29926]

I did, and nothing changed. Should we go back to to the copy of PPSSPP that somehow works?. I think my Windows username is just "Nesterhi", and "Gunsdator" is the name of the computer I am using, that is why there is a period in between.

[[Unknown]]

Right, it uses that when you for example re-install Windows and create a new user with the same name as a user that already exists. It should be perfectly valid so I don't understand why it's saying the filename syntax is incorrect.

Sure, I would definitely go back to the working one for now. Sorry. I wonder if it's getting the same error when trying to save state?

With the working version, maybe try creating a savestate while paused? Then, check the debug log again. If it shows anything in red in the last couple lines, that might help explain why it's failing. I wonder if it's related to this 123 error you were getting with the git build...
