okay...uh...this is semi-complicated. might be hard to explain...
basically, I've been using save files aswell as normal saves. last time I ran EPSXE, I found that my most recent saves for some reason didn't appear on my memory card, so I loaded a save on the memory card, and then loaded a recent save state. Later on, when I tried to save, all my save files from the previous playing were there. And when I soft resetted, I could load them no problem.
Today, I'm having the same problem. When I run the game, my saves aren't there, when I load the state and soft reset, everything seems to be working fine. If I try and save in a new memory card, it just doesn't appear when I try to load it.
I know that save states are kind of unsafe and unstable, and I know it's liable to screw up sooner or later and lose me all my saves (as it has done before)
so is there anything I can actually do here, or do I have to go load the newest save file I can? (which will set me back a good 3 or 4 hours)
