    [quote=98613]Link–> Best way for PSX Multidisc games

    Here I made a guide that works really fine for me.
    And you have nothing to do with save files or renaming files or so…

    Sweet! I’m excited to try this method. I’m giving the Raspberry Pi to my dad for Father’s Day and I was prepared to include instructions for renaming the file, but this sounds like it’ll be much simpler!

    The best way I’ve found to make it work is to rename your save file and start the emulator using disc 2.

    For example, if your game files are:

    Final Fantasy VII disc 1.img
    Final Fantasy VII disc 2.img
    Final Fantasy VII disc 3.img

    You should also have a filed named:

    Final Fantasy VII disc 1.srm

    I can’t look right now, but I’m about 95% sure the extension is “.srm” on the save files. These are created the first time you start the game, and will contain any game saves you’ve made to the “memory card.” I’m pretty sure any time a PSX games asks you to swap discs, it lets you save first. Save the game and exit the emulator.

    To continue on disc 2, rename the save file as:

    Final Fantasy VII disc 2.srm

    Then start the game using the disc 2 file. It should recognize the renamed file as the save file for that particular disc.

    I’d also recommend backing up the original save file, just in case.
