What the title says. I did nothing, but whenever I try to load a game, I keep getting "Savestate zip error: Not a zip archive". The emulator also doesn't let me play that many games for no reason.

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. Enable logging under "Tools > Enable File Logging" if needed.

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

Read what I wrote carefully. I'm sure you'll see it eventually.

Whoops, missed it. But how do I load from a memory card?

the same way you do it when playing the game on your real console.
