I couldnt get my memory cards to work using espxe and ff8.
So I (stupidly) have only been using saveload states...
and havent regularly kept up my back up copies...

SO, now my previously working (perfectly) ff8 state may be lost forever.

I switched configuration settings when I went to play Legend of Dragoon...
and it seems to be the switch back that led to the black screen error.

I have tried every different video configuration setting I have on my list,
including switching from fullscreen to windowed mode

The game itself runs fine, I can start a new game, or load a state from a long time ago and it runs smooth,
so unless someone out there has a miracle for me...
I am pretty sure it's just a corrupted save state.

Confirmation would be nice though, I'm only willing to start over once Ive exhausted all options.

Any and all help is appreciated, Thank you!
