Tactics Ogre saved data

[player1]

Tactics Ogre fails to load saved data from the memcard. It saves without error, and the same data will load in other emulators.

Curious as to if this is an issue with the emu or some anamoly exclusive to my system.

[player1]

Has no one else experienced this?

As I said, the saved game I made in pSX Will load in other emus. So Im sure the data is intact. Im reporting a potential bug here, acknowledgement is all i ask. A solution isnt so vital as this.

I'm checking out Tactics Ogre now.

Ok, I'm getting various issues with this game in all three versions of pSX that I'm using to test (1.1, 1.2, 1.3)

In 1.1, it won't even load the main menu for more than a split second. It'll load the opening FMV (where it shows the various character types), and as soon as I hit a button to go to the game's menu, it gives a setloc error, briefly shows the menu screen, and goes to the other opening FMV (the history lesson).

In 1.2 and 1.3, it wants to load some FMV or other, shows it for a second, then shows the loading screen. It brings up the character class FMV, then when you hit X to go to main menu, it brings up the menu for a couple of seconds, then it goes away.

It gives the message "autopause cdda" after it only shows the menu for a second.

However, I can enter to start a new game or continue during that time.

I was also able to go through the first battle without it locking up (the other report on the compatibility list regarding Tactics Ogre said it locks up; I'm removing this entry), and it appears to save a game to the memory card just fine.

But, yes, when I try and load the game from the memory card, I'm getting a "Failed to load" message in v1.3, so it's not just you, player1.

Thanks.

I didnt experience any gameplay issues or any errors at all (maybe youre running the debugger to see those?), and actually played several hours into the game. I was pretty peeved when the game wouldnt load back up the next day, fortunately epsxe loads the data.

I also tried starting a new game in epsxe and saving there, then bringing it over to pSX. Same failure to load.

Should note that this is pSX 1.3 with the 1001 bios.

No debugger stuff... I don't even begin to know how to use those.

The messages I'm seeing are appearing in that command window that runs in the background of pSX.

Just to make sure I tested this myself and yes, loading does fail in Tactics Ogre.

[player1]

Ok then, looks like its an emu issue. Pin it to the board!

Ugh and I thought I was the only one that had this problem.

Though I will add my 2 cents.

I noticed the game loads though the intro with no problem at all if you play the game with the BIN/CUE method, but the errors will show if you use the CD drive method.

[smegforbrain]

Thanks for the info, Nellus. I'll have to look at that some more.

I like to keep my hard drive clear, so all my imgs and bins are on dvd. My copy of Tactics Ogre is also in img, not bin, so I just tend to run it mounted, but I'll have to try running it from hdd.

[azhrei]

Is it possible to fix this with some command line switch, I would really like to load my game in psX >__<

[smegforbrain]

Nellus, I just tested again by not loading the game via cd method, and it didn't fix the problem.

There may actually be something wrong with my copy of the game. Maybe I'll try and track down another copy some time.

Bumping an old topic, I know. At least Im the OP (hadnt logged in at the time), and Ive been away.

Anyway, no, its not your copy of the game that is a problem. This issue still persists. Data saves in-game fine, wont load. I can save in pSX and load the same data in-game using ePSXe. I can save in-game with ePSXE and still cant load with pSX. Just so say, its solely and issue with pSX loading the save data.

The game is fine, the save data is fine, its just no lody.
