I'm having a problem where MelonDS is creating multiple save files that are unrecognizable by the emulator when loading.
For some reason, I have four save files and three save states. However, upon opening the game, only my earliest save [12/27 9:44AM] loads. If I move the file to another folder and try to open any of the other save files, the game doesn't recognize them and asks to begin a new game. To see if the save files were broken, I imported my most recent save file [12/27 9:30AM] to DeSmuMe and it was able to load and save. Out of curiosity, I opened my earliest save and saved to see where it would save, and it did save over itself. That save also works. I would like to be able to load the most recent save file in MelonDS. Any suggestions? I'm not super computer savvy but if I had to guess, this problem may have arisen from the save states somehow? |

oh, yeah. if you use savestates, it switches to a savefile associated to the savestate.
you can disable that behavior in the settings menu. also, why did you remove the image? it was the bit that made that evident, and I had even fixed it for you. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

Oh my apologies. I'll edit the post to put it back. It wasn't appearing on my end, so i assumed it didn't show up. I'll edit it back up. Thanks for the quick reply.
The picture is back up. My follow-up question then is why does the emulator not recognize the other save files when loading? Is there anything I can do so it will load? |

I just fixed the URL. you need the direct link to the image (right click -> copy image location).
as for savefiles... if you load or save a state to slot 3 for example, your savefile is game.ml3.sav go to system->settings to disable that behavior ____________________ Kuribo64 |

I disabled the behavior and I was able to load my most recent save state and save over the working save file. The save file loaded! Thanks for the help! |

no problem
I think I will change that to be disabled by default as it can be confusing. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

If you want a specific state's save to be your main save once you toggle that option, just remove the .ml# part of the filename |

Hi I was trying to find a solution to my problem and found this post. How can I disable in game saves with the MelonDS settings or ini file? The fact that I can't overwrite the single save state in pokemon is an issue. |
