How to have multiple PSX saves?

[lesk8vaincra]

Hello everybody!
Once more, sorry for my poor english... I live in Belgium and i usually speak french ;).

So, i have a little problem with the PSX emulator included in the 3.02 OE-B firmware...

I play Final Fantasy 7, i can save and I can load, but when I play another game, the save of the second game erase the first one...

What can I do to have multiple saves?

thanks a lot :)

You'll need to alter the save ID of the PHP File, which will involve you repacking the PHP again. Use this program:

And find the Game IDs here:

Remember, if it's a multi CD game that uses a save feature before switching discs (All Final Fantasy games), then use the same ID for all of them.

Can't I change it directly from the eboot file?

I don't want to do a new disc image for each games I have :S.

And for saveID i have to search there: http://www.sonyindex.com/PS1_Renamer/dbase.ps1
as you said, but there are lots of differents ID for each games!

ex: for FF7 they are SCUS94163, SCES00900, SCES00868 etc... Wich one do I choose?
(my games are PAL and in french...)

You're going to have to change it for each game individually if you want the games to not save over each other. Since you are using a PAL and French version of the game (It's generally advised to use NTSC, but doesn't matter), use SCES00868 (I'm assuming [F] means France?), but to be honest, I don't think it even matters. This is only about saves, it won't make the games not work, so just make sure the IDs of two games do not overlap, and you'll be fine. :)

And a last question: the folder where i put my PBP files is called "SCUS*****"... Can i change it to "FF7"? of not?

thanks :)
