mgba not saving #1402

Open willian614 opened 5 years ago

willian614 commented 5 years ago

So I'm having some problems with Pokemon Red++ (a pokémon red romhack, GBC) and it's pretty bothersome. It also happened with some GBA Pokémon games.

I don't know the steps to replicate that. Basically, my saves work normally. I save and right after saving, I savestate. It works normally but after some time, my normal saves stop working. So let's say I have a 4 hours save, then after one hour, I save again. If I reset, my 4 hours save will show up. I tried to delete the save and load a save state, then saving again, but now everytime I open the game there's just no option to load the game anymore.

I'm using Windows 10 btw. Version 0.7.1 of mgba, PC version.

Not sure if it will help but I ran into similar issues and running the program as administrator seems to work every time

This can happen if mGBA fails to open the save file due to permission issues. I've added a warning when it happens.

I can replicate this (same game) across both the Windows x64 and Android builds of the RetroArch core. I was able to create a save file initially, but after about 2 hours of gameplay I can no longer save normally. though save states work.

I've attached both the state and save files, if it helps: states.zip
