Hi all,

I just tested the last trunk, and for the french SCES00868 version, everything seems fine, even the slot copy.
I'll test more extensively ASAP, but I wanted to let you know that your fix worked.

sorry I didn't try yet, because I have other things to do, but I'll try to do it this evening or tomorrow.

Hi sithlord48,

your last binary doesn't work for me.

Well, it works, it fixes the BE at the beginning of BESCES..., and everything seems fine in blackchocobo, but when in game, the newly copied save does not appear.
It seems Asa is right, when I copy the slot 1 in the slot 2, and then I look into my virtual memory card with pcsx, the slot 1 appears as S01 but the slot 2 appears as S2 instead of S02. This may do the trick.
I'll give a shot at finding something, but I've not been that successfull for the time being.

O.K., I will try to compile it right now from trunk folder... if I can find the trunk folder

--- edit ---

O.K. I just downloaded the svn, but do you by any chance know the command you use to compile out of the blue?

Thank you

--- edit 2 ---

ok, silly me, I've just seen it's qt, so it's compiling right now

--- edit 3 ---

O.K., just checked, and it works
I'll check if I find other problems for the next few hours, but right now everything seems nice.

Ow, just one question though, Is it possible to have an option that permits to save anywhere?

--- edit 4 ---

so, The copy function works, but I can't use it ingame after that, and I think that's because in the "other" tab, the region tag says SCES-00868FF7- instead of BESCES-00868FF7-.

I'll check in the sources if I can find the mistake

--- edit 5 ---

For now I wasn't able to find the problem, but it takes time to understand one's code, so I keep digging

I must confess this is fun for me

So, quick feedback after a few hours using your software.

Everything seems to work flawlessly, I tried a lot of things, and all options seems O.K.

The only thing with problems is the slot copy function.

I select my slot, I make a copy, then I select the next slot, I do a paste, everything seems ok, but when I save... no changes saved on slot 2.

So I tried selecting slot 2, then I select new game, I save, and then I paste my slot over the new one, and it works.
But the new slot is in US format... and if I select modify --> French SCES00868, well I return to having messages about unknown variables and so on, but I can't save the file, so it doesn't work.

I hope I make myself clear, since it's not an easy thing to describe.

If I can check or do anything to help... well I won't repeat that each time, will I ?

--- edit ---

Convertion works with any other region code, I just checked, but not sces00868, even if it asks to convert from NTSC to PAL (no more table errors after a reset of the software).

So to resume, I can copy a slot if I: create a new game on the slot, THEN paste my slot here, BUT I can't use it since I can't change the region code of the save to the correct one (well, the change works on screen, but if I save and refresh, everything is gone)

Hi Vgr,

I don't know why you didn't ran into the same problems, but it seems mine where real since sithlord48 managed to include my game number into BC

The game I use is a backup from the originals I have with my PSX, pure french version, no other languages.

Is it the same as yours, or do you have a multi language euro version?

If so, just know that the pure french version (SCES00868) as some little particularities in the senario... Even if I can't remember which ones right now!

@sithlord48:
I didn't try all the options yet, but it works without problems, even while converting card formats:
I tried with FPSE on my android phone, with PSX4all on my wife's iphone, and with pcsx on my linux boxes!

Thanks to both of you.

And by the way, Vgr, you did an awesome job with the french version, the traduction seems flawless!

If anyone of you needs any help I can provide, feel free to ask, I would be glad to help

Ok, I tried it... and it works!

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry I can't make more testing for tonight since here it's nearly midnight and I'm injured, so my wife don't want me to go to bed too late, and she is probably right...

At first check it seems that everything is ok.

I'll continue checking each and every thing I can tomorrow, and I'll let you know

yes, I already use the ppa.

If you want me to try something now in 32bits I can.
I don't know in which timezone you live, but still, I found real fun your piece of work, and thank you very much for messing with this for maybe your only french user for now

At least, I'm a real ff7 fan, for like... forever

I'm on a x86_64 architechture, but I should be able to run the 32bits version if it's more convenient to you.

Yes, I'm a KDE user since... well god knows how many years... my first linux box was back in 1996 or 1997...

Ok, here you go:

And I'm a linux user, I use Kubuntu oneiric for the time being.
No problem if you want me to test things.
Thanks for your time.

cool, ok, a save in pcsx format is fine for you?
How can I send it to you? I mean, what's the most convienent way for you to receive the file?

Hi,
After a few days using your software, I came to a simple ocnclusion: it's awesome

That being said, I came across some weird things:
Each time I open my samegame, witch seems not to be recognized, I have to select "visualize nonetheless" or something like that since I'm french and so is my blackchocobo interface.
Then a message pops up saying "using unknown variable table to visualize the save"
Other than that, it seems that everything goes well.

So, here is my question: is it possible to add SCES00868 witch is the french version of ff7 to this program?

Thank you

Hi, and thanks for your work.

I am french and I tried to use black chocobo with pcsx emulator saves, and it seems to work fine on my kubuntu oneiric box.

But I have a problem... since I'm french, my game id is sces00868, and it seems black chocobo cannot handle it... Is there a way to bypass this problem?

Again, thanks for your work, and your time.

--- Edit ---

Ok, I was just a fool, some things are a bit tacky, but it works mainly, I was just trying to open the file without closing the emulator...
