Hi, ive playing Breath of Fire 5 and now im trying to do a save restore/restart but the game cant find the memory card/save.
I can load the save just fine but for some reason it doesnt allow me to use it.
Is there a way to fix this?

Now if i try to do a Sol: Restart or Sol: Restore, it says the save file could not be found.
Im having to rely on save states, but in this game it isnnt so good.
Attached.
that's likely to happen when you use savestates.
if you load your game from memcard without using savestates, it should work fine.

I couldn't explain exactly why it happens, but even if savestates are an interesting feature, they are known to cause this kind of problem.
that's why we often advise not to solely rely on them.

Okay, *never* save something to your memory card and then load an emulator savestate.
The game will all of a sudden be presented with unexpected data, the behaviour is random.
We try to protect from the worst of it by virtually plugging out the memory card, then reinserting after a couple
more accesses. You will see "no Memory Card present" messages then.
To fix your problem you need to reload from a valid Memory Card save.
I forgot whether the game has a temporary save option but if it does, use that.

I almost suggested save states being the problem. I guess I should have.
