I did that that a number of times, but now it's still stuck. All the save games I made after loading the states are useless. You can see em, but can't load em.
They're not included in load list either.

Hope there's a way around this. I don't want to waste 10 in game days because of it. I know at least I don't have to start over, but still..

All right, I just got this problem as soon as I enter fall and did some save states, seems like this is a genuine bug since I never load state before entering the game. Maybe we should report this to dolphin team.

Edit:
Alright I've done some more testing, and it seems the save problem isn't because of save state, I tried doing a session without ever using save state (after loading ingame save) and after some time my save won't load anymore, also this problem seems to appear after entering fall season.

I experienced the same issue but for me it started in mid-summer (saving in-game slots can't be loaded) and I continued to use dolphin save states until mid-fall and then experienced a graphic issue(oceans background when controlling Ymir turn black). So I decided to play it over from mid-summer where in-game save slots work and use in-game saves ever since.

And you're right, it's not because save states as I also rarely got this problem after using only in-game saves. My suggestion would be to save in-game slots day and night and try loading right after saving. This ensures that you wouldn't need to waste some ten days... or months.. T-T

Hope it's helpful to anyone experiencing this.

Yes, the trick is to immediately load after saving game, if it doesn't work then you're busted.

I'm currently playing on Dolphin 3.0 and it seems fine so far, 10+ days without a hitch.

If I may know, what Dolphin version are you using, for reference.

Now that try to remember it, it did happened before, but that was before I changed iso and emulator. So I thought it was an iso problem.
So should we report this to the devs? If so how do we do that?

What revision was that?

Official bug report here : http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/list

I thought the save bug works on all revisions?
You just got it a while back, right? So should I tell them it's on every rev?

No one know for sure, I got the bug on build 3.0-183 and now currently testing the game on last stable release version (3.0), it seems there is no save bug there (though I could not be so sure as the problem seems to arise randomly).

Just follow the provided instruction/template on google code, it says to specify which revision you experience the bug on.

Aw damn, I just got the bug on Dolphin 3.0, so it is confirmed that this bug is around from 3.0 to the latest revision, you can go ahead and report this to the dolphin team.

I already reported it to the contact us section of the main webpage, but no replies so far.
Or maybe I should post it in the support section of the forum?

I've submitted bug report here : http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=4972 Just add what you know there

Anyway, I just finished the game's last boss with dolphin 3.0, the bug appear only once (for now) and if you load the game, although not the latest save, it'll work just fine.
