Hi, I didn't found anything like this on the forum so I'm questioning (sorry anything, I'm new here)

So I had no issues saving on Folder Memory Card, but now if I close the emu and start it again, it reverts to an older save, he only register if I delete in the memcard folder the older save and save it again via game, but after that I can't oversave this one like before because it keeps reverting after I close the emulator. I'm using the latest Nightly version of the Emulator.

Saving on Mem Card works fine, the problem is only with the folder, I didn't test with other games yet, so I don't know if is a problem with this game exclusively.

I can play normally with Mem Card, but the folder one is better for I don't need to keep track of space usage, so anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks in advance

(English isn't my native language, but I did my best to describe the issue)

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!):
[code]
Pasted emulog goes here
[ /code]

Ok, I think I know what happened:

Right now appeared an update to do, but it failed saying the version may be corrupted and do download an freshier version from Github, I did it and tested again the save issue and now it seens to be working fine!

What I don't know is how it got corrupted...

The log folder was empty, don't know if I may skipped something on config to not generate an log...

EDIT

I activated the option to generante logs, if it happens again I'll update with the log correctly

well, mgs3 is notorious to corrupt savegames even on original hardware. so ...

Well, here I am, the problem is back, I can't update my saves on folder memory card on Metal Gear Solid 3, this is the log:

I think what glitched not updating the saves was making a second save, in the case I made a second save for The End fight because of two achievements, so a main one to continue the game and the second just for this fight, maybe this had something to do with not letting update the main save?
