Having trouble using retroarch playing PS's Vagrant Story

The state saving and loading are working fine. But when I try to save the game using in-game save option, and try to load the record, it always says “record cannot be found".

I am using PlayStation1 (PCSX ReARMed) as bois.

any help would be appreciated.

This pic was captured when I tried to check the storage box and the caution at the bottom left means “the previous saved record cannot be found”

Use a real bios.

I double that. Vagrant story has a lot of save game issues. It uses a separate slot to keep record of things in the player’s chest. And those things tend to disappear at random times. Not sure if a BIOS helps though.

I did some research and found out that enabling SRAM auto save might help. On android it’s in TV mode -> Settings. I haven’t tested it myself yet, but it sounds as should fix it.
