[SOLVED] Cant save in game

[ZeroX4]

so when i try to make in game save (Phantasy Star Poratble 2) i get this

storage media used to launch the game has been removed. Please insert original storage media if you wish to save


was removed in your dreams maybe stupid sega bs

anyway i go to PPSSPP\memstick\PSP\SAVEDATA\ULUS10529
since this is game ID and it should be there with save in it and it was

so i was wondering what game would say if i remove that folder at all

and guess what it fixed that errror wtf ?

so if any of you see this kind of error



you go to PPSSPP\memstick\PSP\SAVEDATA\GAME ID
which can be find in this part of ppsspp
and remove WHOLE FOLDER AND NOT JUST WHATS INSIDE



and than puff back to playing

Just as extra info...you'll get that error again if you:
1.Create a save state
2.Save the game using the ingame function
3.Load the state
4.Try to save again using the ingame function(you will not be able to save anymore unless you delete the save again or load the save,not the save state)

Will deleting that folder remove my savestate? Because I've made a ton of progress using only savestates since getting that error. i want to be able to save in-game so I can play the post-game missions.

what problem u have in making backup file and checking?
but as i see there is different folder for saves and for savestates

so most likely no

but also im not sure will u be able to just IN-GAME save ur game without ur default save when u load from savestate

I had the same error you had and I just tried deleting the folder as you mentioned above. I think I may have initially done the very thing you warned about in the extra info part above and that's why I ended up where I am. Just now, I loaded my game (which currently has a savestate as the final boss is dying) and after the credits it still tells me that there is no memory card. The game won't let me return to Clad 6 to begin the post-game stuff without saving and all I can do now is return to the title screen without saving that I finished the game. It looks like my in-game save is being stored over in My Documents for some reason. Not sure if that is making a difference.

My save from much much earlier in the game seems to work. *sigh* I may just have to be more careful next time I play through about where I save. At least I was able to beat the game this time.

This can happen on quite a few games across many different systems/emulators. Basically games don't like it when you try to save over data using an alternate timeline that exists before the save (since it is something that can not naturally occur).

Some tips to avoid the issue.
Unless you are in a situation where an in game save is impossible when you are done playing for a session use the in game save system (it is generally more stable anyways so it is a good practice to do in gemeral)
When you start up a new session only load the type of save you used last (hopefully an in game save). Basically if you quit after an in game save always load the in game save, if you quit after using a save state load the save state.
Try to never load a save state that happened before an in game save (espically if there are not multiple save slots). In game saves should save major progress and save states are really best used for temp saves to test something or if the area is too dangerous to risk a permenste save there.

For PSP2 basically I always did an in game save after a successful mission or if I did a lot of shopping/character setup before the next mission. Inside of a mission I used save states in case something happened or if I wanted to test dialog tree.

Does this work with Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep as well? In KH: BBS, you need to save in-game if you want to continue.

This can also happen in MHP3 HD. Just do the same thing vsub said.
