What is an MCR File?
An MCR file is a memory card file that contains the save data of a PlayStation game. It is also known as a PSX memory card file or a PS1 memory card file. An MCR file can store up to 15 save slots of a game, and it has a size of 128 KB. An MCR file can be created by using a PlayStation emulator, such as ePSXe, or by using a software that can extract the save data from a physical memory card, such as PSXGameEdit. An MCR file can be used by any PlayStation emulator that supports memory card files, such as ePSXe, PCSX, or FPse.
How to Convert Gran Turismo Save Data to MCR File?
If you have your Gran Turismo save data on a physical memory card, you need to transfer it to your computer first. You can do this by using a device that can connect your memory card to your PC, such as a PSX Memory Card Adapter or a DexDrive. Then, you need to use a software that can read and write memory card files, such as PSXGameEdit or MemcardRex.
Once you have your Gran Turismo save data on your computer, you need to convert it to an MCR file. You can do this by using the same software that you used to transfer the save data from the memory card. For example, if you used PSXGameEdit, you can follow these steps:
Open PSXGameEdit and click on File > Open.
Select the file that contains your Gran Turismo save data and click Open. You should see your Gran Turismo save slots on the left panel of the software.
Select the save slot that you want to convert and click on File > Save As.
Choose a name and location for your MCR file and click Save.
Repeat this process for any other save slot that you want to convert.
If you have your Gran Turismo save data on another emulator, such as PCSX or FPse, you need to find out where the emulator stores its memory card files and copy them to your computer. Then, you need to rename them to have an .mcr extension. For example, if you have a PCSX memory card file named memcards\\card1.mcd, you need to rename it to memcards\\card1.mcr.
How to Use Gran Turismo MCR File with ePSXe?
Once you have your Gran Turismo MCR file on your computer, you need to copy it to the folder where ePSXe stores its memory card files. By default, this folder is located at C:UsersYourName.epsxememcards. You can also change this folder by going to Config > Memory Cards in ePSXe.
After copying your MCR file to the ePSXe folder, you need to select it as your active memory card in ePSXe. You can do this by going to Config > Memory Cards and choosing the slot where you want to load your MCR file. Then, click on Select and browse for your MCR file. Click OK and then OK again.
Now you are ready to play Gran Turismo with your save data on ePSXe. Just load the game from the CD-ROM or ISO image and enjoy!
