Pokemon Black ingame save problem

Post by The.Master.Brock » Tue Nov 05, 2013 11:19 am

Hi!
I have a very big problem: When I wanted to play Pokemon Black it didn't recognize my ingame save . When I clicked on Quick Load ,it didn't worked either.
My saves are in the battery and savestates folders but Drastic seems to not recognize them.
Please help me because I don't wanna start over!

P.S. Excuse my english. I am not a native speaker.

I have started my game in DraStic. My savestates are in .dsv and .dss format. It just does not load my saves and at beginning it keeps showing me new game.

i think you need to place your ingame saves in the "backup" folder.

I think I was not clear enough. The ingame save is in the backup folder and my savestates are in the savestates folder.
I have not moved them from somewhere. I created my saves in DraStic.

This is my ingame save. Please analyze it... I beg you. I am desperate.

When you say it doesn't recognize your saves does it mean that the save isn't there or that it says it's corrupt? Are you using version 2.1.6.2a, and have you kept the option "in-game saves in savestates" enabled like it is by default?

The thing is that unless that option is changed (and for other reasons you should NOT change it) in-game saves will be stored in savestates. So if you make an in-game save then load some older savestate you'll be going back to whatever your in-game saves were when you made that savestate. And it'll overwrite your saves with those (next version changes this so it only overwrites if you actually make another save). If you load an auto-saved savestate when you start the emulator maybe it had saves you didn't realize in it. That could happen if the emulator didn't close properly when you last exited it, so the auto-save savestate is older than you think it is.
