I was changing some graphical settings (primarily the Renderer setting) while running Ace Combat 4, and I hit Restore Defaults at a certain point to get a fresh start on those settings. After that I noticed that AC4 was glitching when I tried saving. Like it was attempting to read the memory card but failing. Both Ace Combat 4 and Zero tell me I can't save.
After reading some threads here that seemed to have a somewhat similar issue, I launched the BIOS to see if my saves showed from the home screen. Yet nothing's there, and it doesn't seem that any space is being taken up. I was rarely using save states (only when I was closing the client to reopen later), so with this I've lost like 40 hours of gameplay.
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!):

are you using standard 8mb memcard ?

Yeah, I never even looked in the memory card settings until this issue started.
I've converted the memory card, and now it works. Although all of my saves are gone, so I gotta start everything over again ;_;
