Shenmue - Doesn't save/load properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1: Start a new game, watch the intro
2: Choose the quick-save option (on Y button options), then reset game.
3: From title screen try to resume game.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Game doesn't 'see' the save file, says there is no game to resume. 
The save file is there when checking via the Dreamcast boot menu.
Also, when starting a new game the game reckons the memory card is unformatted.

This only happens on the PAL version (I'm using GDI), saving on the NTSC 
version works fine. This is a shame as PAL versions of both Shenmues need to be 
played to carry over a save from 1 to 2.

What version of the product are you using? What build? What plugins?
r65, default plugins.

On what kind of system?
Operating System: Windows 7 x64
CPU: E8500 3.8Ghz
Video Card: Nvidia GTS 250 (ATI X1400 also tested)
Sound Card: Onboard Realtek ALC889A
