Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance can't find memory card save

[Cloud9]

When I started Baldur's Gate: DA I left the game on the load saved game screen for a little bit, and then out of nowhere my saved game just disappeared. Ever since then, the game has been unable to find it. I have gone into the BIOS and confirmed that my memory card still has the save game, so no idea why it can't be found.

I have tried swapping mem card slots, made a new mem card and copied across the save data, and deleted and remade the iso. Nothing works. I have attached a picture of the BIOS and game screens for reference. 

Any help would be appreciated! I play this with my partner, and we really want to continue our save and we can see its still there and not corrupted. Thanks!

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

Pasted emulog goes here

The log folder is empty after I close the game. I checked during game time and then checked again after I closed the console/emulator and nothing is there, I've attached a picture just in case I might be in the wrong place.

I have also tried turning off the manage saves option in the game and that didn't work either.

Bump, should I reinstall the emulator, since it appears something is wrong with it not storing log files and suddenly not finding saves.

tools->enable file logging
that should let you create the emulog

Here is the contents of the log file, thanks for telling me how to switch that option on!
