Final Fantasy VII (USA) PSX ISO

[Maliken]

Hello I want to copy over some Roms onto my Anbernic RG35XXSP running Knulli , there are 3 downloads in forms of discs.

Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 1).7z
Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 2).7z
Final Fantasy VII (USA) (Disc 3).7z

Do I copy all 3 Roms into the bios file and they work as one or how will that work with 3 discs just curious any help is greatly appreciated

No, the bios folder should only have the PSX bios, not the game files. You'll need to put the PSX bios files there if you want to do any PSX emulation. You can find those on The Repo.

I'm assuming you're on the stock firmware, correct? If so, you'll need to go into "Roms" folder and there you should see the subfolders for each of the consoles (such as PSX and GBA). Put the Final Fantasy 7 disc images there. Just make sure that the files have been extracted from the 7z files since I don't believe that the emulators can read "7z" files.

I would recommend replacing the SD card that came with the system since the ones that come with those handhelds tend to be cheap ones that don't last.

So I downloaded and extracted all 3 discs into my Roms folder this is what my question was about its in 3 separate Disc files the game itself, will it save over and continue once I'm done Disc 1 and continue to Disc 2 or how does this game work lmao?

I believe you'll need to switch disks when you get the screen saying to do so. These devices are running Retroarch under the hood for the emulators, so it's the same way you'd switch discs there. You'll need to go to the Emulator menu (I believe it's menu button + B together) and then go to "Disc Control". Here, "click eject disk" and then "load new disk". Select the next disc, go back to the "Disc Control" screen and then click on the "Insert Disc" option to load the next disc.

Just ran into an issue I tried to launch disc 1 and it brought me back to the screen launcher so I must have extracted something wrong I made sure it was the right file before running my RG35XXSP the right file format. its in a 7zip file I extracted with WinRAR that's probably why lol. but it was in the same readable file in a CUE file.

Edit** got it to run after I extracted it with z7ip nvm.

If the game doesn't have any music tracks (and FF7 doesn't) i've had no troubles converting the bin to an iso and mounting it, saves space and doesn't need the ECC component. Though that was back early 2000 when i was using ePSXe emulator and it also let me do cdz format...

Anyways. Make sure the save card is shared and when it tells you to switch discs it will also save. Swap discs and load the save.

Though if the emulator supports m3u files...

m3u files are simple text files with the names of the files in it, for ps1 games either chd or bin. I recommend to convert the cue/bin to chd in order to save space.
