Not meant as a disclaimer, except in the sense that I disclaim infallible knowledge of how anybody else's game will behave. With a system as complex as a computer environment running SH3 (and that's obviously not highly complex), I'm not smart enough to know for sure that what works for me will work for you. I know what has worked for me, I think I know why it has worked, and I hope that, if you try it, it will work for you, too. Computers erased any certainty I might have had a long time ago.

From my experience, it is not re-use of names that causes the problem. (This is a problem, BTW, which I have found is common to SH3, SH4, and SH5.) If you call your first save "Save1", then delete that save and call your second save "Save1", there is no problem. But if you call your second save "Save1" and tell the program to overwrite the old Save1, that seems to cause problems sometimes.
