Oof, yeah, that sounds rough XD
Okay, looks like I'll have to revert to the original save file and redo the save state! (I was able to save from the save state before restoring the original file so as long as I remember which file has the most up-to-date progress I shouldn't have any further issues...)
Thank you for your help though!
You should never use save states with PSO at any time. The save files are encrypted and checksum protected, so you're just asking to corrupt your save file by using states.

I'll backup my memory card file regularly XD (So if it does decide to go nuts I can just use the backup)
I think it was the restore through Windows that fucked up my state file so it didn't sync right with the main file (perma file). But I suppose I'll stick with the wonky in-game save for a bit (it always bugged me that on the actual console there was no midpoint save and you had to quit out just to save).
I'll be more cautious this time around, so this incident has taught me something at least.
I've noticed a new issue lately. When creating a new character and setting the proportion, the slider always seems to drift to the right slightly if I use the control stick.
It was noticeable on 5.0-10430 and I've since updated to the latest dev build but the problem is still there.
I get no drift anywhere else and my controller is fine (I'm using an Xbox 360 controller).
hey guys -
so after quite a few hours of getting the VPN bridge to work (hint: use static IPs) finally was able to get online with PSO to the schthack serv. Game appears to work completely fine with no issues, but, at random times and is usually within an hour or less of play, the game will crash. I had dolphin playing on my harddrive as opposed to my main SSD drive and I now converted it over to my SSD which has seemed to at least delay the inevitable. I do notice quite a bit of times that the game will hang for a second or two but fix itself until it ultimately crashes to the desktop. I have not played offline for an extended period of time yet so cannot say if it is localized to just playing online.
Dolphin 5.0 build and open vpn 2.4.8. Latest Nvidia drivers, playing OpenGL.
let me know if there is any other info that would help..
thanks!
quick edit - i've reinstalled the vpn and updated dolphin to the latest development build (5.0-11537) - noticable improvements on my system, a lot smoother overall and less of the little second hangs, maybe one every once in a while as opposed to one every room. I played online for 45 minutes and offline for an hour and a half (longest i've played so far)..seems to be working but will know more tomorrow when I am able to play longer
