Can you get any logs from when it's saving or trying to load a save?

I'll order the game and test it myself. I realize that 4 months to respond was probably a bit too long to maintain your interest lol.

Could this begin a new chapter of the trio of destruction?
Save is definitely there but, the game malfunctions when it tries to load it.

IOS bug. The order of files returned by FS_ReadDir appears to be wrong. In Dolphin, it's sorted alphabetically... which doesn't really make sense.
I haven't yet determined what IOS actually does to determine the order, but it's likely to depend on the order in which files were created.
This can cause issues that range from not being able to find save files, to opening and writing to/deleting the wrong file (depending on how many assumptions a title makes).

Confirmed to be a FS bug. Also confirmed to be fixed without ugly workarounds simply by keeping track of filesystem metadata properly (in a WIP nand-image
branch).

Now that the new filesystem interface has been merged, we now need to use it every time the FS is accessed in order to be able to track metadata properly. The following will need to be migrated:
-
WiiSaveBanner(left for later since this is read-only access) -
WiiRoot(https://dolp.in/pr6832, https://dolp.in/pr6988, http://dolp.in/pr7061) -
WiiSaveCrypted(along with fixes to prevent importing saves for games that have not been launched before) (https://dolp.in/pr6988) -
Movie(left for later) -
IOS/NCD(https://dolp.in/pr6766) -
IOS/KD(https://dolp.in/pr6807, https://dolp.in/pr6816) -
WiiUtils(https://dolp.in/pr6758) -
Boot(https://dolp.in/pr6807) -
IOS/ES(https://dolp.in/pr6772) -
IOS/Kernel(https://dolp.in/pr6772) -
SysConf(https://dolp.in/pr6615)

Can't reproduce this issue anymore. EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just bad at reading how to reproduce it.

This issue is not about not being able to go in-game at all, it's about not being able to go in-game when there is existing save data.
