I load up my first Hardcore save and it still says I have 3 saves left? any explanations?

Here's a link to the full YT playlist.

I tried my best not to use any exploits, glitches, or loops and to come up with my own strats for some areas.

The only exception was the minute long Solidus chokehold. I HAD TO use a turbo controller. I just couldn't mash that hard for that long.

In case anyone is curious or wants to compare, here are my stats for ammo used and playtime during my Big Boss run.

1. Save 1 Bomb Disposal 24:40 61 shots
2. Save 2 Fatman 44:25 86 shots fired
3. Save 3 Harrier 1:00:39 250 shots fired
4. Save 4 Vamp 1:14:16 283 shots fired
5. Save 5 Tengus 1 1:43:48 419 shots fired 
6. Save 6 Tengus 2 1:50:42 456 shots
7. Save 7 MG Rays 1:58:33 456 shots fired
8. Save 8 Solidus 2:09:08 643  shots fired

That's MGS1, 2, 3, and 4 done in the highest ranking and 100%'d MGSV. 1 and 4 I did a long time ago. So I think I'll redo them both. Or maybe I'll do The Twin Snakes BBE next. I've never played that game. What do you all think?

Discovered it by complete accident during my euro extreme big boss run

messing around with non-MK22 stealth strats and came across this interaction lol. Might have something to do with emulation
