Xenosaga I reboots/crashes when trying to save.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

[The following is a template to help you fill out a more informative
report]

Note:
Many games do not run yet, or have known problems. Please do not report
those games without giving any more information. That means reports like
"Game XYZ crashes" are not helpful. Instead try to include as much debug
information as possible. The last 5 console messages for example, or if the
crashes can be circumvented / fixed by another configuration would help
much more.

--------------------------------------

1) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on the
Official PCSX2 build or an earlier version of PCSX2 playground?
(If so, please specify the latest pcsx2-playground or Official revision
that last worked.)
Build 1272: Game crashes/stop. 
Build 1474: Reboots
Build 1599 (the last one I have compiled): Reboots
These are the only builds I have tried out.

2) What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to save in any save point except the first one.
2. Game suddenly reboots or crashes.

3) What exactly happens when you experience this issue (listing any console
errors or screen output you recieve)?
# TLB spad=0 kernel=1:12 default=13:30 extended=31:38
# Restart
and continues listing GS/INTC and everything. Like a normal boot up.

4) What version of PCSX2 are you using? On what operating system?
SVN rev r1599, Vista SP1 x86.
DirectX updated with lastest version.

5) Please provide any additional information below.
GSdx 1591 (if matters)
It doesn't matter if you have MTGS on or off. Or if you had enable a speed
hack.

6) Attachments.  *IMPORTANT!*  We have a limited storage quota on
GoogleCode, so please keep attachments to UNDER 200k!  Do not upload
blockdumps!  Do not upload MP3 dumps.  Use 3rd party image hosts for
screenshots when possible.

If you guys need any other information, please say so. It's my first time
reporting a issue here on Google Code.
Thanks in advance.

• Changed state: Accepted

Just so you can continue playing:
You can safely use savestates until you reach a later save spot.
Not all are broken.

I have been using savestates and it's working fine.
Thanks for the tip, I will try to save in other spots then for now.

This bug still present in rev.4552 and it's VERY annoying. Sometimes, the same 
save point can let you to save the game.

Well, all I know is that it's prolly some DMA race condition that breaks the 
game, causing a reset.
It's an interesting issue though so I'll keep it in mind

I can provide you with any information if you'll need.

rama is already aware of such information, you can skip that save point and use 
the next just fine.

Using a PCSX2 savestate I've tested different character positioning while 
saving on memory card and it seems to me that it's really a strange problem of 
character position, I mean: if I position the character somewhat on the left of 
the "yellow talisman", slightly touching the talisman and press to save, then 
PCSX2 reboots on bios, while if I stay in the middle of the talisman it seems 
that I can save without problems...very wierd...

No.

Issue still occurs in r5710.

I can confirm the issue in r5754, even if at the moment I'm consistently 
getting a reset only in the Elsa savepoint, after the Kukai Foundation. All the 
others seem to work fine in my case.
