i play many games without complications with save states and then save the data on the regular memory card after done playing
i did save states as needed until i was done playing wind waker mario sunshine starfox assault or four swords adventures
usually loading in case i screw something up hardcore (like game overs and stuff)
i would then save my data after finally clearing whatever area im at
go to sleep turn off cpu
next day
turn on same game
tries to tell me memory card needs formatted again
plz note i am using the default memory card provided by the initial download of the emulator
what am i doing that is corrupting the memory card/making it need formating
says that with every game i was playing
i would rather not only rely on save states for saving data
