Freezing when using a save states

[yeknom366]

I was playing Skies of Arcadia, and for an unknown reason, it reset my settings and was unable to find my save states (I'm about 7 hours in). When I booted up a hard save and tried to make a new save state, the emulator freezes completely. No errors or pop-ups show. Is there a way to either prevent this freezing or to get my old save states working again?

It crashes when saving a state?

[yeknom366]

Yes, upon saving a state it crashes. Since it can no longer find my previous save states, it says "no save state found" when I try to load.

Save states suck. You should avoid them
