Memory Card Saving Issue - Digimon World 2
LatchGameDev opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When attempting to make a save the game always doesn't see a save file / properly formatted memory card and will keep asking if I want to make a save file. Attempted to change from open bios to the normal bios and it still was happening. Not sure if I did the change correctly so it might work for you. So for now will just use save states.

This happened on a fresh install, never used this emulator before and this was the first game I started using it with.
Expected behavior
On real hardware after asking me to save the file it should format the memory card. The next screen should show me three possible save slots to save my game to. The bar in the lower right also should be slowly filling up as it formats the card and again when it saves the game.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Start a new game or attempt to load a game
- Get far enough where you can try to save (a world/city screen basically)
- Attempt saving

I've confirmed this behavior when using OpenBIOS. On my end it seems to work ok with the retail bios. Changing the bios file and then performing a hard reset through the menu should be enough to switch, however, loading a savestate will replace the bios with the one that was loaded when the savestate was created.
I think i have the same issue, with a different game. When i try to save Discworld, i get a "Save Error" message. Is there any way around this?

Try using a retail BIOS in case you're using OpenBIOS. The latter is known to have some memory card issues here and there.
Sadly i dont have access to one outside openbios and the ps3 one. The latter does not work with psx-rearmed (which i use on my pi). I know that there are other sources, but i would like to stay away from those.

In that case you'll have to wait until the memcard problems in openbios are figured out and fixed :/
Sorry I was out of commission for a few days. Very very useful bug report, thanks. I'll try and have a look, as it seems pretty reproducible.
Hmmm, it turns out that the requirements to reproduce are a bit harsh, since it requires playing the game quite a bit before hitting the problem...
Well, no, it wasn't that hard at the end of the day.
#1367 should hopefully fix this one.
Could you please retry with latest and confirm this now fully works for you ?
Haven't heard back from OP in a while, and I believe this problem has been resolved. Marking this one as closed, feel free to reopen if you are still experiencing issues.
