Issues with Grandia II

Sorry for the delayed response,

No problem, I was able to entertain myself so long .

I've tried this but it didn't seem to work. Just to confirm:

I go into a game, play, and save like I normally would.
This'll automatically let me load just like a PS2 would?

Yes, that's how it works. There is no difference from saving on the PS2. But what do you mean with "not working"? Do you mean the loading failed or does ZeroGS still crash?

Well,

I saved it, then saved a savestate. When I run the game without loading a savestate, it says the memory card is empty. I may have done something wrong somewhere I guess...
