Can't you just run disc 2 from your GAME menu and load from there?

I think I had this same downloaded version.

I figured out a shortcut. find out the ID of the save files for the 1st disk.

Try going to the saves folder in '%psproot%:\PSP\SAVEDATA' - you should be able to thumbnail the folder view to display the *.png pictures - it will let you see the game pics on the folders.

Take note of the one that has the same thumbnail as the FFVII disk does when you browse your memory stick to play it. (you can cross check using the file date i.e. I looked at the savedata in the folder and saw the last time the file was modified was the last time i saved my game (which was three days ago at that point))

Take the folder name i.e. 'SCUS94476'

Download http://dl.qj.net/PSX-GameID-Changer-PSP-Ho...11970/catid/190 Game ID Changer - Google it if neccessary.

Run the ID changer and point it at the EBOOT.PBP file that is the game - put in whatever name you want i.e. FFVII Disk 2 - then put in the ID you got from the Disk 1 SAVEDATA Folder (SCUS94476) and hit 'Change It!'

When you now load up the game you should be able to see your saves.

I am rubbish at writeups and blag on a fair bit dudes and dudettes so anyone feel free to nuke this post and re-write it 'sanely'

So when you finished disc 1 it didn't prompt you to save? I found this on a site, I'm not at disc 2, but try it and let me know if it works, otherwise I might haveto skip playing this game on the PSP

I suggest using Simple Popstation Gui, it's a much easier program to use and supports just as many features:

http://dl.qj.net/Simple-Popstation-GUI-v2.21-Beta-PSP-Tools-Utilities-(on-PC)/pg/12/fid/12220/catid/192.

The process for changing the save ID is also much easier. Just open up your EBOOT.PBP inside of SPG and click on Change Game Name and Game Id..., then change it, then click on GO... and it'll patch the EBOOT.PBP for you.

(If you are trying to make the EBOOT.PBP from an .iso or similar file, it will also work much better.)

Use psx2psp and make sure the GAME ID# and the SAVE ID# is the same for every disc. This way when you go to the other disc's the game save can be loaded.

I actually name the GAME ID# and SAVE ID# the same.

Example: For my FFVII I have the below...

EBOOT FOR DISC1 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183
EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183
EBOOT FOR DISC3 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183

For FFVIII I have the below...

EBOOT FOR DISC1 GAME ID# SLUS 00892 SAVE ID# SLUS 00892
EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SLUS 00892 SAVE ID# SLUS 00892
EBOOT FOR DISC3 GAME ID# SLUS 00892 SAVE ID# SLUS 00892
EBOOT FOR DISC4 GAME ID# SLUS 00892 SAVE ID# SLUS 00892

For FFIX I have the below...

EBOOT FOR DISC1 GAME ID# SLUS 01251 SAVE ID# SLUS 01251
EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SLUS 01251 SAVE ID# SLUS 01251
EBOOT FOR DISC3 GAME ID# SLUS 01251 SAVE ID# SLUS 01251
EBOOT FOR DISC4 GAME ID# SLUS 01251 SAVE ID# SLUS 01251

I did this for FF VII, VIII and IX. They all worked flawlessly.

Here is an Example of what not to have...

EBOOT FOR DISC1 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183
EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 00892
EBOOT FOR DISC3 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 01251


Of course this information is only usefull before statring the game.

If you have already played disc 1 and are having issues going to disc 2 then try opening up Disc1 EBOOT with psx2psp and write down what the DISC ID# and SAVE ID# is of the EBOOT file. (Make sure you copy down the letters before the # as well.

Then open up disc 2 in psx2psp and rename the GAME ID# and SAVE ID# the same as disc 1.

Example:

EBOOT FOR DISC1 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183
EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 00892

Rename the DISC 2 EBOOT to...

EBOOT FOR DISC2 GAME ID# SCUS 94183 SAVE ID# SCUS 94183

You would just change the SAVE ID# from 00892 to 94183.
