Hello everyone, first time posting here, I ran into an obstacle my brain has melted trying to find a soliution.
First of all, I was playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles on Dolphin 5.0-540 which is a stable version I can play without crahsing, and that is what I thought, but it did crash on a specific spot because I misread something. So then i tried the following: I created a save on the 5.0-540 version and then I loaded up the 5.0-400, all went fine I could finally progress, but not quite. For some reason when I save my game (ingame) on the 5.0-400, it tells me the game has been saved, etc. all seems fine, I always save state JUST IN CASE it fails. And so it did, when I reboot the game, the save file that shows, it's the same save file I saved just before switching to 5.0-400. Almost in anger, I loaded the save state I did in case this happened, then I thought, I'll remove the memory card A and B from the save folder and I will save again in this version, I save, says written on dolphin, I reboot dolphin and nope, the same files as before, same save files before switching to 5.0-400. I then tried to manage the save files with dolphin, with the GC save file, I deleted them inside, then improted a save file I think it's the one, and still nothing.
I'll attach here a couple pictures showing what I mean:
Here is when I load up the Save Slot A when i boot the game:
And this, as you can see is when I load up state save 1, it's where I last left it:
And when i go to save a file and I press save, I can see the saves as if I have saved before:
For some reason, when I load the save state, it's as if the whole game it's on another version of itself, when I try to save, it says it saved. Even when I'm ingame and I DELETE the SaveSlotA and SaveSlotB files, the game still detects save files when I press to save, as if It's reading ghost files, I save, it says it's been written and there are no new files on the GC folder where the save files are supposed to be. Did I create an interdimensional save file? Because I tried checking all Dolphin Folders and nothing is anywhere, all's empty, but the game still detects the save files, and what is the most strange thing, is that if I load state, then I press Restart, the game detects the save files, even though there are no files in the folder just like before!
Anyone knowd what's going on? I have bad memory and i tend to make mistakes, i could progress the game via save states, but I fear one day I might miss it and just close it and loose a lot of progress.
Thanks in advance for helping me! I'll answer any question that might help find a solution to this problem!
