I recently got retroarch running on my xbox series x. I'm not particularly tech savvy so I'd like some advice.

I've been running some games on melonds ds. When saving, I've been using the in game save function as well as the retroarch save state function. I've been having an issue loading the in game save as well as loading the state however. Ex: pokemon platinum just reloading the title screen when I hit continue. When I try to load the state, it just fails.

I've found conflicting info with this subs search bar so I'd appreciate some advice on the latest version. Should I just be using in game saves OR states and not both?
