I recently downloaded this emulator for the first time a bit back, and it's been pretty good for me so far, though I've only run Persona 3 on it so far. However, while I was playing it, I've been making sure to save at least three save states at a time so that if one ever gets corrupted I could always load back to one of them, as the memory card never worked. So I decided that instead of taking the risk of relying on a few states, I would try and figure out how to get the memory card working. I found a random tutorial on it, though I only got as far as hitting the 'no disc' button without an ISO running before I decided to make sure everything was still working. However, now no states are loading for me at all, strangely.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Are my save states now gone for good or something?

It's highly possible.
Using memcard only is still the most reliable solution

I have savestates from like 6-7 years ago that still work fine. Are you loading them in the same version of the emulator they were made from?

Do you get an error or anything when trying to load the savestates? Its pretty unlikely they would all corrupt at once without you touching them.

I think I did at first, and it said something about how it couldn't find the states or whatever. Could that mean anything?

You should be able to make a memcard save of your savestate progress. Load the savestate then play til a point you can make a full save. You shouldn't need to configure anything at all, just save like you normally would on a real PS2. PCSX2 automatically has a virtual card saved in slot 1 and the game should format it for you.
You can change the language inside the main menu if you boot no disc again.

That doesn't work, it just says "No memory card (for PS2) inserted in MEMORY CARD slot 1."
