Cant load save on Shen Mue Anymore

I tried running Shen Mue a couple of days ago. Played a little bit on the begging and saved via exit option. Today i found a newer build 1.0.4 r150 with shen mu fixes so i decided to triy it out. I copied config files and the .vmu into the new portable installation folder and loaded the game from there. After that whenever i load ShenMue on eith build the continue feature on the game says iy does not find a file.

Although when i boot into the vmu files with the no disk options, i see the shen mue file stored there. Whats going on
